I suspect age plays a large part in the anger.
In the younger generations the following is true:
Nobody really cares for the values Rod Liddle espouses as being ‘British’ (thank God) any more.
Nobody cares much about what the Royals do or don’t do.
People DO care about the environment and don’t believe climate change deniers.
They also care about their fellow man and will seek to put human rights over economics.
What makes the gammons angry is that they know this deep down, and that in just a generation or two, everything they’re cross about (Europe, Political Correctness, Woke culture, gender fluidity, the Royals etc) will all be reset as if they’d never been there.
All the things they’ve bayed and howled over will be forgotten as time rolls on and the things they like will be consigned to history.
It’s that really, isn’t it?
Probably for the most part quite accurate - add in the likelihood that Tabloids will be gone so less skewing of opinions as well.In the younger generations the following is true:

Doesn't look much like Chipping Norton to me?
They could take a leaf out of Uncle Andrews ideas
They would need to buy and build or renovate a large stately looking place. The renovation building could be sold to a TV company for a series something like hey we built a palace
Once opened they could employ a licensed person who was licensed to do weddings. Perhaps Harry could train up to be one
They wouldn't have to be there every time. Like when they were around you could eat at one of Jamie Olivers restaurants but it wouldn't mean he would be there himself
Once that's all in place they could launch the new business
Hitch at the Palace

No idea what that is but they, the young uns that is ( around these parts sample of two) seem to like them like they are cardasians or something. I.e they are on telly a lot, good looking and have flash life styles on yachts.
You know I believe one should never be proud of ignorance. I am aware that there are some people with names that sound like how I spelled it. I’ve seen clips of them a couple of times and that’s it.
THis one time while not proud of being ignorant about them I happy that is as much as I know.
That speech confirms once and for all what has been apparent over a number of days now:
. . . a) This matter was fully known and discussed within the royal family for months on end.
. . . b) The social media announcement that precipitated the public brouhaha was a bid by Meghan and Harry to look the leaders in all this. To essentially trump the Queen (and to me, this seems petulant and manipulative).
. . . c) Ditto the rude decision to leave one's other half an ocean away -- to negotiate on his own a close to the failed agreement.
It's a loss for all, actually. Just when a post-Brexit Britain could use a bit of transatlantic mojo to help with the contracts and trade deals that will take months and years to cultivate... there is but an extinguished lamp.
In this respect, Harry's greatest value, arguably, was as a sort of insider. This doesn't mean that Harry has no value without such status. But it does take away a certain implied leverage.
Some here have said that Harry now hasn't a leg to stand on, and I'm afraid I can't readily disagree with that.

It is an odd speech in some respects: he acknowledged the Hoo ha. He clearly isn’t confused about the broader arguments around his role. He’s decided to take the change of status on the chin. . . . a) This matter was fully known and discussed within the royal family for months on end.

Which is all well and good.
But I don’t quite get a sense of someone who realised he has essentially cut himself off from the life he had. Stuff will be carrying on the same but different.
I don’t think so.
