The British monarchy outlived Cromwell, but can it survive Meghan Markle? Ed asks whether Meghan is still a member of the royal family, and if so, what role will Harry and Meghan play in the future?
00:02:04.760And I think now they put it out so quickly and so uncritically, and they just accepted this very vague statement.
00:02:12.360For example, the Harry Duke of Sussex thing.
00:02:14.920They said, oh, well, it's like Princess Diana, where she was no longer the Princess of Wales.
00:02:19.080They declared she was Diana, Princess of Wales.
00:02:21.900But there's been no change whatsoever.
00:02:25.220Nothing's happened. It's just a PR exercise, because, I guess, because the marriage was on the rocks, was falling apart.
00:02:32.320It 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,
00:02:39.260particularly because of what with her being mixed race, half black, it would look very, very bad.
00:02:43.760And so, therefore, everything was done to try and placate her, and everything has been done.
00:02:47.720Nothing's changed. She's lost nothing.
00:02:49.900All 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.
00:03:54.280He's still sixth in line to the throne.
00:03:55.740If 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.
00:04:35.840We'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 have the empire, and will die rolling over an invaded country.
00:04:51.200Elizabeth the Useless, and what's she done?
00:04:53.140She'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.
00:05:11.620But, and, as to try to precate the anger of the British people, they, at his, their addiction of duty, they try and make out, oh, they imply that he's no longer a duke, that he's Harry Duke of Sussex, rather than the Duke of Sussex, that he's no longer a prince, that he's no longer an HRH, and it's all nonsense.
00:05:34.340I mean, is she, again, to go back to the having your cake and eating it too, she wants to,
00:05:40.580you know, and I'm, 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 a egalitarian, democratic age, and so you can't really do that.
00:05:59.580But she wants to maintain the celebrity of royalty, while basically messing with the concept of sovereignty, and so on.
00:06:12.100It just seems to be this awful situation, but she's clearly, it's not like she wants to, you know, go off into private life or something.
00:06:20.460She wants to, she wants to increase her celebrity and get in Disney films or whatever areas of pimping her out for.
00:06:28.300And so she just wants, she wants to have the kind of celebrity while not actually fulfilling any of the duties and maintaining at least the concept of sovereignty.
00:06:41.100Indeed, the whole idea is that you have this concept of noblesse of liege, perhaps you used to have something like this among southern planters to some extent as well, aristocratic ideals.
00:06:51.520And 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 do whatever, and to play by the rules and to help the poor and whatever.
00:07:04.860So there's this, there is this concept in royalty, and with the royalty comes these obligations.
00:07:09.920You can't vote, you can't, 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.
00:07:19.480You do what she's done, that's what you're supposed to do.
00:07:22.260You're not an individual, you're representative of the monarchy, and the monarchy is what kind of holds together the nation.
00:07:27.340And 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.
00:07:40.060And that's what she managed to get, this not very bright fellow, but even so, he's the future.
00:07:49.280I had this idea that he's the son of Captain Hewitt, yeah.
00:07:52.440And 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.
00:08:03.980But even so, she's bagged her, she's got the child of dreams, she's a princess, wow, can it get better than that?
00:08:09.300But 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.
00:08:19.440That 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.
00:08:29.820She wants to feel that she's important.
00:10:17.960It's so obvious that he doesn't think.
00:10:19.500Because 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.
00:10:33.620So, you know, it's just terribly, terribly sad.
00:10:59.920But when she was, I don't know, 10 or something, she made a little name for herself by criticizing American commercials for homemakers.
00:11:11.920So American companies were advertising, I think, soap or something for stay-at-home moms, effectively.
00:11:19.860I mean, you know, nothing wrong with this at all.
00:11:23.100And she was kind of woke before we even had that term.
00:11:26.920And she was just, again, getting under people's skin, spreading disorder, even when she was 10.
00:11:34.300And getting on the news as this annoying, complaining, virtue-signaling witch.
00:11:41.920It's the first time little Meghan Markle was on TV.
00:11:44.980And she was a firecracker even at age 11.
00:11:47.980I don't think it's right for kids to grow up thinking these things, that just mom does everything.
00:11:53.120For 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.
00:12:02.800Recommended by more doctors, pharmacists, and Dr. Mom.
00:12:05.880It's always mom does this and mom does that.
00:12:08.880In particular, a commercial for ivory dishwashing liquid caught her attention because it used the word women.
00:12:15.400Women are fighting greasy pots and pans.
00:12:17.900And I said, wait a minute, how could somebody say that?
