It is sad; I presume that Henry and Meghan are being “pushed out” earlier than they otherwise would be due to the rampant racism of the British Tabloids…
But my guess is that they will probably build some charities in Canada and lead them, then eventually slip into a Regency PR role in Canada; either officially or unofficially.
And honestly, it’s a really, really smart move on the Royal Family’s part; if they wish to continue to maintain a presence in Canada.
Canada is growing more and more important, and it is posed for future growth. The UK has a difficult path to more growth, and they are tying their shoes together. Right now, the UK has the world’s 7th largest economy; with Canada at 10. They are nearing to economic and social impact parity with the UK. Having the brother of the King be a charitable leader and PR presence (but without official government standing) would be good PR as long as they don’t do anything really bad; and having a Canadian spouse who is diverse culturally is certainly good for that. (I don’t think that is why they married; but it may be why they were allowed to marry.)
There is a reason why the English nobility is associated with roses… even challenges seem to come up rosy for them…
