I think I differ from most monarchists when I say I don't actually care if the Sussex children have titles. It makes sense to me that they would. However, I don't think they'll have much use for them in their lives, if the plan to live in the U.S. and remain outside the royal sphere is followed.

That said, I'm not clear at all as to what the Sussexes do want that they haven't already received or achieved on their own merit. They've told their story on their own terms several times now. They live where they say they want to live. They are making money outside of the royal family, which they wanted. They are unhindered by royal protocol and can seek therapy, financial gain, and social clout in whatever method they chose.

But they still seem unhappy about something. It's almost as if they just want to be universally loved and they want public acknowledgement from the Palace that they were right in every choice they made. Neither of those things are going to happen.

I 1000% agree - M and H have backed Charles and the palace into a corner. They push to the limit in hopes the opposition back down. It's like they are saying to Charles, we've given our children the titles 'publicly', if you're not going to provide them with a title you need to take it from them - 'publicly'. The title debacle should've been dealt with as a matter of urgency before they had the chance to forcibly gain the upper hand.

Was it fear they where being swept under the carpet, in terms of their 'royal' status, announcing this to the public after Frogmore cottage was no longer their UK base? Screams desperation to me.

How anyone can support Harry or Meghan is beyond comprehension - the hypocrisy is off the scale.
