It seems Prince Harry and Megan's "professional plans" are to sell off their branding rights.  In other words, glorified social influencers.  Ugh.  So maybe Megan does belong in the column of American women who have fucked up the UK after all.  Thankfully, in the good column we still have Churchill's mom and the Lady Grantham from Downton Abbey.

No complaint about their choosing to do that in itself... But combined with their reason for the big change being to get away from the press it seems rather inconsistent.

The chances of Harry ever becoming King is ridiculously remote so I guess I don't get the big deal. Is the sixth guy in line for the throne really required to do anything? What exactly is there for him to step away from?

My mom is really into this royal family bullshit.  I thought we fought a war so we wouldn't have to care.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

One view of this is that Harry and his wife can make far more money exploiting their celebrity in the US.  Which would not be possible with the constraints they have being part of the royal family.

Had we not won the war, we would have to care, or else be subject to a death sentence for treason against the crown. This is the tyranny under which the British and other dominions reside.  :(

Very. I am currently evading the royal authorities as a result of my post the other day in which I referred to Harry a trust fund kid.

FWIW, I think it's better to "care" about the Windsors than the Kardashians.

Well
He's 6th in theory but the 5 above him are a family so if something wipes one out there's a good chance it gets them all.
He remains a necessary spare until wills kids are out on their own.
