Well, the results are in.
A dignified and firm response from the Queen and I think she will have achieved most of what she wanted.
The "Sussex Royal" website must remain,a concern, but DDOS on a regular basis should not be too hard to achieve if it becomes necessary.
For those who haven't seen the detail, briefly there will be no part time, half and half royals.
They will give up all royal duties, though retaining private patronages, and will lose their "Highness" titles. Harry will remain a Prince, but she will stay a duchess.
Not only will they not receive another penny from the public purse, but they will also have to repay the $1.5 million of taxpayers money they spent on redecorating Frogmate Cottage. They will retain the use of the Cottage, but it is "Grace and favour" apartment of which the Queen has several at her disposal, some of them occupied by non-royals'
Hopefully they will spend much of the time in Canada as Canadians are pretty friendly and tolerant folk as any draft dodger will tell you!
She will swan around North America while he trails in her wake like the lap dog he is already becoming.
There is still the upcoming court case but the Mail, a Murdoch paper, will be under pressure to make a "no liability" out of court settlement.
They will become a footnote of history like the Windsors, though he, at least, was briefly on the throne.
If she thinks the press are bad now, she ain't seen nothing yet.
While he will indulgently be permitted to whore around like his uncle, if she so much as catches a waiter's eye across a restaurant the red tops will be screaming impropriety.
They've got a hard row to hoe, of their own making.
