Archie probably is too young to be spending 2 months with his grandma at Balmoral.
Just because they wish not to participate in the annual holiday, doesn't make me question their status as royals.

[Baldric]

The Mail just don't get it,do they? she is no longer Meghan Markle.

[THECORBYLOON]

What is your problem with them?

[ichkeria]

Good grief.
And we thought we were bored with Brexit

[Peter Pedant]

[THECORBYLOON]

Luxury...

How can the venue matter to a child of his age, he will still have his mother and father and the nannies and servants to look after him, and lets face it Scotland is much closer home than Ibiza.

I'd rather be in Ibiza than Balmoral but maybe Queenie would like some time with her great grandson away from the public eye

// he Mail just don't get it,do they? she is no longer Meghan Markle.//

yeah he is Your Hunkieness and she is Her beautiness
OK - beaute - ness - - you know French boe-tay

It is a pity lay two gurlz dont get on
but Ferge and Di got on and together the two little minxes cooked up disaster so as ever wiv women you never know

[fender62]

they would probably be happier living off the grid, like edward and simpson, she could carry on acting and he could fly helicopters.
they would still be followed, but after time, that would tail off.

I'm sure they've spoken with The Queen and have explained their decision to her. From what I recall, Harry has a very good relationship with his grandmother. It's no one's business but the Windsors'.

[Peter Pedant]

cna we do a song?

I would rather be in Ibiza than Balmoral
I would rather be whacking them than Buckingham

My world is always sunny
but I never get the money

erm da de daah dahh - I need a bit of help there

[spathiphyllum]

OK AOG fair point. How about this?

New wife, new kid.. You decide you don't want to go on holiday with ur grandma anymore to a boring estate so u use ur new kid as an excuse.

Is this heinous enough to lose royal status?

[anotheoldgit]

Some could class it as a snub on Scotland and the Scottish people.

[anneasquith]

“ self earning private couple “ LOL .

[ummmm]

Anne - she earned her money before she met him. He fought for this country. What more do you want from a couple?

[anneasquith]

Ummm. Stop being scrounges ? Go back to work?
.

[Mamyalynne]

When did declining an invitation , presumably politely become a 'snub'?

I certainly haven't accepted all the invitations I have ever received.

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

/// Anne - she earned her money before she met him. He fought for this country. What more do you want from a couple? ///

There are many millions of couples who in the past have earned their money, and have fought for this country, but they are then not given a luxury free ride for the rest of their lives.

"Some could class it as a snub on Scotland and the Scottish people."

Some could class it as making mountains out of molehills.
