LONDON - Love them or loathe them, the British royals are peerless purveyors of news stories and there was no shortage of opinions in London on Thursday about Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s shock plans to strike out on their own.
Locke said Harry’s attempt to find a path for himself outside tightly controlled royal protocol was understandable, given his ill-defined status as younger sibling to a future monarch. But while the chance of a significant constitutional role for him has receded, his popularity has remained high, helped by his image as a creatable, emotionally articulate man.
“I suggest to them, ‘stay here rather than leaving the UK,’” he said. “Hopefully, they do stay here.”Others were less interested in Harry and Meghan’s wellbeing, but pleased that they would contribute to slimming down the monarchy, an institution regarded by some as costly and bloated. “I think Harry’s getting led. I think he’ll regret it later in life,” she said, bemoaning that the close bond between the brothers, cemented by the loss of their mother Princess Diana, appeared to have frayed.
