"There was a time when a royal visit meant something. It came with a purpose, an official framework and a clear understanding of who was representing the Crown.

Then there is Harry and Meghan in Nottingham. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex swept into the city on Thursday, greeted by wellwishers and bouquets of flowers

They visited community organisations, met young people and worked their way through a programme of carefully arranged public appearances.

Sound familiar? It should. It looks remarkably like a royal visit.

There is just one rather significant problem: Harry and Meghan are not working members of the Royal Family and haven’t been for six years. And their decision to come back to a country they’ve been far from complimentary about in what appears to be the hope of representing an institution they besmirched and decried for years doesn’t change that.

They chose to walk away from a role that was handed to them on a plate. Meghan was given prestigious patronages when she married Harry. The fifth in line to othe throne had been given his own share of royal honours. But they wanted something different and they left, shouting angry comments as the door swung.

They no longer carry out official royal duties on behalf of the King. They are not representing the Crown. Yet here they were , undertaking a series of events that look suspiciously like an attempt to recreate the royal life they left behind.

Welcome to the Sussexes’ increasingly curious world of wanting to look royal without royal responsibilities."

At one time Charlie Proctor was a big Sussex cheerleader and he really changed his tune about them even before they left the UK. He caught on to them and their ruses rather quickly.
