I think First of all I'd say about Meghan Markle, she's been a breath of fresh air for our monarchy.

He'll work with charities, in particular with the victims of Grenfell has been outstanding.

I think the way that she has been treated by our media is a little short off.

Disgraceful on Dhe, quite frankly, in what in particular?

Well, I think I think Prince Harry himself has said himself that he thinks that there is a large degree of racism in terms of how she's been treated.

I mean, he's obviously pointed to what's happened in South Africa and the tour on the royal correspondents who have been reporting.

And he also said something about the fact that sometimes what's being said has been so far from the truth, and yet because it has come from those royal correspondents.

Now anyone that's in the public eye in this country knows that happens far too often in our media, I think, he said.

The dancing will get, Ms reported, but they were basing it on what was said by those royal correspondents.

And quite frankly, I think it's up to them in the 21st century.

If they wish to step back from their royal duties, I think given what it has done to them, given the pressure and the stress.

If you've ever been in the public eye and you've been in the eye of a media storm, our multiple media storm, let's not forget Prince Harry's mother was harassed severely.

Princess Diana, by the media he had seen this before, has had a massive impact on his life and now it's happening to his wife.

And yet look what our media is doing to her and Prince Harry.

It is completely unacceptable, and I think that they have every right to make the decision that they have.

And he gets just the media that is making you do this, looking through their website today and explain there the reasoning and in some detail, they want to live a different kind of life as well.

But this probably wouldn't have happened if there hadn't been this such negative coverage from the British media.

I mean, this is the same British media that is meant to be the fourth estate meant to hold power on the public to account it's meant to be fair.

It's meant to be balanced, is anything but, and I think what you can see in the way that she has been treated as a member of the royal family is a little short of a disgrace.

As far as I'm concerned, I think she has every right and Prince Harry have every right to do what they've done.

As for the issue off warning majesty about this, well, I personally feel that's a that's a that's a family matter between them.

I understand that Her Majesty may be upset about that.

Ultimately, that's a family matter, and I don't think I would want to delve into that Max.

I agree with about half of what Clive said.

I think that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry deserved tremendous sympathy because it is hell being royal.

I don't buy the view that it's all racist.

I was a newspaper editor at the time that Diana was in the eye of the storm on DDE.

Awful lot of Royal also had a very bad time.

You can argue from the media without the issue of race being brought into it, but I was in Max's decision, petulant until John.

I also feel very sorry for the queen and all this.

That here is she and our nineties facing Maur of these of these family storms, and I think one of the problems that perhaps because she has lived in such a great age.

Nobody's got to grips with the issue of what is the royal family's supposed to be on the idea.

I think Prince Charles is dead right to talk about the slim down Wall family in which the state is not expected.

Yes, to pay two point 4,000,004 Prince Harry's house, in which there is a clear understanding of what is and is not expected of lesser Royals on Dhe were all arguing all the time.

I think they're the victims of this in some degree because nobody has told them explicitly just what is and is not expected on them, so they deserve sympathy.

But Prince Charles William on the Queen, deserves sympathy and all this, But I hope no, keep talking what one does hope.

It was obviously a hell of a row going on in that family.

And the worst thing that could happen is if they end up on the on speakers, they've got to keep talking.

One hopes it will be a happy one, not only for Megan and Prince Harry, but also for the Queen on the future of the monarchy, which some just care passionately about demanding.

Would their financial They're seeking financial independence.

Not have been better before the multi £1,000,000 renovation or Frogmore cottage?

We've got a world family like that, but also me.

Max's point is also right around the fact that this is also a matter for the world family and I I hope we end up in a position with your family, get a result that's good for them and also good for the country because one of things we have seen throughout the history of our country is the world family has evolved over the centuries and over the generations to reflect the country as it is that given time, I'm sure, will continue to see that.

But this is a matter for the whole family.

And can you see a situation where Harry and Megan are living independently but are still part of the royal family?

And some would see that's a contradiction in terms.

We'll wait and see exactly what the world family want to do and what they where they want to go With this.
