A devastating review in today's "Times" of Meghan Markle's documentary narration of Disney's "Elephant". Gave it two stars.
Couldn't they give her 'one'?
That's what Harry's doing.
Only if he obeys her.

Which brings to mind Tricky Dickie's hearts and minds comment.

What did Trump say? "Drag 'em, by the pussy" was it?

Jeezzz...
Vanessa guessed because of Meghan's son Archie, the former actress was 'identifying' with the mother elephants.

Ought Trump not to impose lock down on all recent immigrants and returning nationals?

Found this:

They must pay!” It's rumoured that Prince Harry could be forced to give up his Duke of Sussex title should he become a US citizen. An A1 visa would enable Harry to apply for citizenship in the US. However, under US naturalisation laws, Harry would have to declare an Oath of Allegiance.2 days ago

Claim of Fast-track US green card for Prince Harry as diplomat | Workpermit.com

Harry lose his seat? Was that why Archie did get a title?
There's nothing that says he has to become a citizen, he could get a green card and renew it every ten years. Not sure how it works with Archie though, as a dual national he doesn't have to take any oath of allegiance. The US can't grant titles but there is nothing in US law that prevents a US citizen being awarded a title by another country. It restricts people with titles from holding public office without consent of Congress, and there was a proposed amendment back around 1810 to automatically strip US citizens of their US citizenship if they received a foreign title but it was never ratified.

If the British award is to a non Commonwealth citizen they cannot style themselves Sir etc. Clearly Harry has a Commonwealth citizen. OTOH his wife is not. Perhaps it should be PH & Mrs W, certainly after the divorce.

Should Harry renounce British citizenship his title would be 'degraded'.

Oh for a Norman St John Stevens but I expect there are similar experts on heraldry and the constitution.

Isn't there a tradition in the theatre of theatricals not using their titles professionally?

Think Larry/Lord Olivier or Dame/Maggie Smith!

So Megan won't be using any title professionally, will she?

Vancouver was probably too cold and damp for Meghan and they were being ignored there. I bet she's networking like mad - whilst 'social distancing' of course! :))

Could this be a 'I think we might have made a mistake, lets look at that again,' type pause?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are 'taking a few months' off before their plans to launch a brand and charity because they 'need a break', a royal expert has claimed.

- aren't we all having a break, whether we need it or not? :(.

I somehow do not think that this was a joint effort.

Now we'll got to relax and wait for other connotations of 'archieday'.

As Mrs PN just said, so Archie is a vulnerable child is he. He's got those two for parents.
