There are of lots of private (non-NHS) medical professionals and hospitals in London. Archie was born at private Portland Hospital. Other royal babies were born in the private Lido Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital. So I think NHS eligibility is a non issue. Several royal family members have also acknowledged going to…

The Crown is the source of all right and title. It isn’t a relic of another system, it underpins the whole system. It permits us to avoid the same type of constitutional crises that the US has recently experienced. (We have other, different, constitutional crises, of course. Nobody’s perfect.) I will happily advocate…

People who are still banging the “Harry isn’t really Charles’s son” are, pardon my French, fucking idiots. Harry’s eyes and nose are Windsor-Mountbatten through and through. The red hair means nothing—two of Diana’s three siblings are ginger.

The hereditary and ‘lineage’ crap always makes me giggle. The nonsense that is hung on the whole royal idea makes me damn proud of one small thing about my own family history.

We have the Queen on our money because we separate our head of state from the political day to day maneuverings of operating the country.

Not for long. Harriet Tubman coming.

Totally see her musing about it to Charles and Charles being dim enough to mention it to Harry.

Why do we still have Jackson in the $20?

Theory: because they told her when and where she got to go to the doctor.

And I theorize they held the reigns that tightly for her because they were terrified of a fully grown adult American divorced black woman. They didn’t trust what she might say or do.

“...she couldn’t seek help because...she wasn’t a senior Royal member and therefore not entitled.”

IIRC something similar happened to Princess Charlene of Monaco - she tried multiple times to escape her 2011 wedding to Prince Albert (heh) after finding out some BS and they took away her passport.

I honestly thought the Palace would at least be smart enough to let Meghan help rehabilitate their image and bring it in to the 21st century.

Ok, let me remove my fascinator of condescension then—

I think it's reasonable that she'd run it through as there would be obvious consequences if it got out. If she was really trying to behave as they wanted her to, it's also reasonable that in a fragile state she'd feel frozen when they told her no. I don't think Diana got much help either when she was obviously…

I wonder why Meaghan didn’t go to her doctor for mental health support and referral. 

Harry wins as defeating every American dude ever.  What a perfect prince he is.  Seriously.  He is so protective of her, courted the shit out of her, very admiring and grateful of her for their partnership totally worships her - you guys.  Prince Harry is the only good man left.  

I feel like I just watched a cult survivor story.

They are, where they are, purely on the accident of birth, previously high infant mortality rate, and that they’re not Catholic. Being Catholic was a civil war inducing problem back in the day. In 1714 when Queen Anne died with no heirs to live past childhood, a previous act of Parliament stated that succession would…

For exactly the reasons you think.

The stuff about Archie was awful, but I got a visceral shiver when she said her passport, dl licence, credit cards, and keys were taken away from her when she married. That's Saudi level. Why?
