Issue 3. The Windsor Dashians.
The British monarchy outlived Cromwell, but can it survive Meghan Markle?
Ed, will the royal family survive Meghan Markle?
Well, Meghan Markle, as far as I can work out, is still a member of the royal family, and this is something I would like to confront.
Absolute nonsense occurred the other day.
Was it yesterday or the day before, when they put out this statement?
It's a very deliberately, vaguely worded statement.
They've used this phrase a lot, the have your cake and eat it.
The statement said that they will no longer use HRH.
They will be known as Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
They will pay back however many millions it was that was used for the refurbishment of Frogmore House, and they will have the blessing of the Queen, and it's wonderful that Meghan has...
It's become part of the family, and isn't it great?
And everything's hunky-dory.
And then this was interpreted immediately in the British press.
I don't know about in Canada.
Maybe they're more thoughtful there, less supine to the monarchy.
You know, the British press never even reported Prince William's affair with the martyrs of Cholmley.
Everywhere else in the world it was big news.
The British press didn't even report it.
And this was interpreted as, oh, the Queen's been decisive and this is fair and this is this Mexit, they call it, this Mexit.
And they've really gone for her and it's been the hardest possible Mexit because they've lost their HRH.
And look, it's like he's lost.
He's no longer royal.
He's lost.
He's not Prince Harry anymore.
He's Harry.
Duchess, Harry Duke of Sussex, and he's got to pay this money back.
And so basically, and they talked about an abdication, and they said it's like the abdication in 1936 when King Edward VIII abdicated, and he was no longer king, and he renounced the throne for him and his successors, and it's like that, and they've abdicated.
And it's an absolute load of old nonsense.
Nothing has happened.
Nothing.
And I think now...
They put it out so quickly and so uncritically, and they just accepted this very vague statement.
For example, the Harry Duke of Sussex thing.
They said, oh, well, it's like Princess Diana, where she was no longer the Princess of Wales.
They declared she was Diana, Princess of Wales.
But there's been no change whatsoever.
Nothing's happened.
It's just a PR exercise, because, I guess, because the marriage was on the rocks.
It was falling apart.
It would look, because of the selfishness and manipulativeness of Meghan Markle, it would look bad if there was a divorce or the marriage broke down, particularly because of what with her being mixed race, half black, it would look very, very bad.
And so, therefore, everything was done to try and placate her, and everything has been done.
Nothing's changed.
She's lost nothing.
All that's had to happen is that a very wealthy woman has had to pay back a few million quid for this Frogmore House renovation.
She's got everything she wants.
So, first of all, this loss of HRH, the Royal High School.
They haven't lost the title.
They haven't lost the title.
They have agreed not to use it.
And they can't lose the title because it's inherent in the concept of a prince that a prince is his royal highness.
It's inherent in that.
Has he stopped being a prince?
This is something that people were talking about in the newspapers.
They were saying, oh, now he's Mr. Harry Windsor or whatever.
No, no, no.
His coat of arms hasn't changed.
He still has the coat armour of a prince of the blood royal.
So he can call himself Harry, Duke of Sussex, though there's been some demotion.
Fine.
There hasn't been.
He's still Prince Harry, as is reflected in his coat of arms.
He's still HRH, as is implied by the fact that he's a prince.
Moreover, he's still sixth in line to the throne.
I checked the royal website today.
There's no abdication.
He's still sixth and ninth of the throne.
If there was a Nepalese-type situation in Britain, like there was in Nepal in 2002, where the Crown Prince went mad and shot a load of his family, and some distant uncle became king, if that happened, if it happens one day that Prince George goes mad and kills his father and kills his siblings and whatever, then Harry becomes king.
So there's been no change at all.
Nothing's changed.
It's just a weird manipulative PR exercise that the newspapers have been sucked in by and are now going back on it.
So Kay Burley, her name is, of Sky News declared that, oh, he's no longer HRH, he's no longer a prince, and she had to eat her words.
Eat her words with swans on top.
Because now it's all been nonsense.
We've all been had, we've all been manipulated by the Queen, by Elizabeth the Useless, who has just given in Elizabeth the Useless, who...
Came to the throne, we had the empire, and we'll die ruling over an invaded country.
Elizabeth the Useless, and what's she done?
She's totally, supinely allowed herself to be taken for a ride by Meghan Markle, by this woman's obviously bad news, obviously already divorced at a very young age, and clearly an unstable, manipulative woman, taken this not very bright grandson of hers, taken him for a ride, break his heart, that's that.
And to try to precate that What is she doing?
Again, to go back to the having your cake and eating it too, she wants to...
And I'm evoking her father's statement.
You know, which she made last night, I saw on Twitter this morning, is that she is living every young girl's dream of being a princess.
But then, of course, we live in an egalitarian, democratic age, and so you can't really do that.
But she wants to maintain the celebrity of royalty while basically messing with the concept of sovereignty and so on.
It just seems to be this awful...
It's not like she wants to go off into private life or something.
She wants to increase her celebrity and get in Disney films or whatever Harry is pimping her out for.
She wants to have the celebrity while not actually fulfilling any of the duties and maintaining at least the concept of sovereignty.
Indeed.
The whole idea is that you have this concept of noblesse oblige.
Perhaps you used to have something like this among southern planters to some extent as well, aristocratic ideals.
And this is that you have this great wealth and whatever, and with that comes this obligation to what's called bear port.
So to do good works and to play by the rules and to help the poor and whatever.
So there is this concept in royalty.
And with the royalty comes these obligations.
You can't vote.
You're not allowed to express political opinions.
You're not allowed to do anything like that.
You keep your mouth shut, like Kate Middleton has done, by the way.
You do what she's done.
That's what you're supposed to do.
You're not an individual.
You're a representative of the monarchy, and the monarchy is what kind of holds together the nation.
And so, yeah, I think she's right, that she's got this little childlike fantasy.
She's every girl's fantasy.
Who's the most eligible man in the world?
It's the future king of England.
Okay, well, he was already taken.
So, okay, it's his brother.
And that's what she managed to get, this not very bright fellow, but even so.
He's perhaps a bastard as well.
Probably, yes.
That's one idea.
I had this idea that he's the son of Captain Hewitt, yeah.
And one suggestion online was that perhaps this is what's going on.
They've wanted to get rid of him from the royal family for ages because, frankly, he shouldn't be in line of succession.
But he still is.
But even so, she's got the child of dreams.
She's a princess.
Wow, can it get better than that?
But the problem is that that is not consistent with being able to do the other thing she wants to do, which is go around being the centre of attention for her, for being her.
She wants to be an individual, that she wants to be worshipped for her, not because of the office that she embodies, that she wants to be able to express her opinions, and she wants to be a feminist as well.
She wants to feel that she's important.
Those things are opposite.
You can't possibly be left-wing and a feminist and be a princess and be part of this inherently unegalitarian, hereditary institution.
So it's just this dissonance in her messed-up narcissistic mind.
And it's not working, and she can't cope with it.
And what she wants is, as you say, have her cake and eat.
It's an awful cliché, but have her cake full of swans and caviar and corgis and eat it.
And that's what she has managed to get, because she's got it.
Because she will now be able to go around being woke and whatever.
And I'm afraid, even though she's not allowed to publicly say, I'm a princess, that's what the agreement is, she is.
That would be the assumption, yeah.
So she is.
And she will be able to cash in on that.
And eventually, I'm sure she will tire of Harry and divorce him.
And then it'll be interesting.
I'll give it a couple of years.
And then it'll be interesting to see what he does, because he's betrayed his people.
He's become incredibly unpopular in the UK as a consequence of this.
He's upset everybody in his family over this smoothie.
And then she will break up with him.
I mean, it's almost inevitable.
The heritability of divorce is very, very high.
Remember that she's already been divorced once.
And she's like she is.
So I would say it's inevitable.
So it's terrible for him, poor bloke.
Tyler, anything to add?
I don't know how I could possibly add to that.
I think he nailed it pretty well.
Although I'm just wondering what the hell was Harry thinking.
I don't think he thinks.
That's probably right, yeah.
I think he's inherited that from his mother.
Thinking is not his forte.
His forte is horses and helicopters and things.
I don't think thinking...
It's a sad day for the Spencer line.
A sad day for the Hewitt line as well.
And I don't know why it's so obvious that he doesn't think, because he's gone from being a playboy under the influence of his mates, his upper-class friends who are into parties and drinking and whatever, to being under the influence of this witch who has made him into this woke, cuckolded feminist.
So, no, it's just terribly, terribly sad.
And I think that's what she's like.
I think she is a person.
That's what narcissists do.
They spread...
Disorder and chaos and unhappiness wherever they go.
And they need to be kept away from.
But that's what she's done.
She's in some ways like the spiteful mutant that's entered the royal family.
She even did this at a very young age.
There's a fascinating YouTube.
I saw this on YouTube.
It was a news report.
But when she was, I don't know, 10 or something, she made a little name for herself by criticizing American commercials for homemakers.
So American companies are advertising, I think, soap or something for stay-at-home moms, effectively.
You know, nothing wrong with this at all.
And she was kind of woke before we even had that term.
And she was just, again, getting under people's skin, spreading disorder, even when she was 10. And getting on the news as this annoying, complaining...
Virtue signaling witch.
It's the first time little Meghan Markle was on TV, and she was a firecracker even at age 11. I don't think it's right for kids to grow up thinking these things, that just mom does everything.
For a social studies assignment way back in elementary school in Los Angeles, Meghan and her classmates were asked to watch some commercials and assess their messages.
Recommended by more doctors, pharmacists, and Dr. Mom.
It's always mom does this and mom does that.
In particular, a commercial for ivory dishwashing liquid caught her attention because it used the word limit.
Women are fighting greasy pots and pans.
And I said, wait a minute, how could somebody say that?
And now she's in her late 30s.
Yeah, and now she's in her late 30s and it's going to be just unadulterated, full throttle.
Basically, being annoying on a global scale.
I'm waiting for her to get plastic surgery.
She's getting to that kind of age where I think it's going to happen.
I mean, the woman I mentioned in the Question Time audience that had a go at somebody for being a white, privileged male, she'd obviously had plastic.
I think she's about 39, and she'd obviously had plastic surgery already at 39, and the same age as Megan.
I don't think Megan has had it.
If she has, it's sufficiently subtle that it's not noticeable.
So I think that'll hit in the next five years, which will be interesting as well.
But no, she's just...
As I said, I've always...
I knew this would be...
Everybody knew.
Everybody.
They say it's racism.
It's not racism.
It was the most...
No, but she doesn't even look black.
And I think people just regard it as exotic and interesting and nice.
And they wanted this guy.
He's had a horrible time.
I remember his mother died when he was how old was he?
Early 13 or something.
And walked behind the coffin.
Terrible time.
Traumatised him probably.
And he's always in the shadow of his brother.
Difficult thing to be.
Like Princess Margaret.
She had a lot of problems as well.
Couldn't marry.
Was quite young when her father died.
Couldn't marry the man she loved because he was divorced.
Whatever.
And you want these people to be happy.
He would have been happy marrying some English upper-class airhead raw.
Right.
But he didn't.
Married her.
Sad.
As Donald Trump would say, sad.
