If he truly did want to fade out of the public eye - he could. Very easily.
However, he doesn't - in the same vein as Meghan. He wants to "change the world" using his status/position.
How could he ‘very easily’ fade out if the public eye? However, he doesn't - in the same vein as Meghan. He wants to "change the world" using his status/position.
By simply going to lead a 'normal' life.
If choosing to stay out of the public eye, gaining injunctions/etc., against reporting their daily activities is exceptionally easy.

Harry and Meghan could easily do this. Just stay out of the limelight for a few months and they'll be left alone.
I'm not sure they're capable of that though.

Same way plenty of other European Royals have.

He could just have a word with his Grandad By simply going to lead a 'normal' life.

Simple announcement then never seen again at public/ceremonial events and apart from rolling Land Rover, has been largely left alone by the Press

Press can only report on people if there's a reasonable argument for "public interest".
There's no basis for that claim, purely because of circumstances of birth parents.

Not a bad life. One has retired, after a life of doing nothing much taxing. Simple announcement then never seen again at public/ceremonial events and apart from rolling Land Rover, has been largely left alone by the Press
Have you ever fought for your country?
The press are t interested in his Grandad though, these two sell newspapers and have billions of eyes watching them, it’s a completely different scenario to any other Royal family and different again to the interest level within our own Royal family.
It seems most base their views on them from what is presented by journalists (unless anyone is privy to a direct experience, which I doubt) and it’s nigh on impossible to judge the reliability of what’s reported because most of the sources are unnamed. What’s not in doubt is that most of the major newspaper groups reporting on M & H are being sued by them, any reasonable person might conclude there’s a conflict of interest.
I really couldn’t care less about them, I see two people who want to distance themselves from their extended family but realise it’s not quite so simple as that. Maybe if we all showed a little less interest they would have half a chance, but as I said, I don’t really care either way I’m just intrigued by the fascination they generate here and elsewhere.
I’m left concluding yet again that the majority of NP&E and my gran are as one.

You actually think this is a valid comparison don’t you? And one who reportedly has given away huge amounts of his earnings

People being interested, does not equate to valid "public interest".

I do wonder what they are like. I’m left concluding yet again that the majority of NP&E and my gran are as one.
Are they long-retired men in cardigans who move seamlessly between NP&E, QVC and Cash in the Atttic throughout their week?
Theres one who I encountered in business, some years ago, a senior manager within a midlands based SME. He used to post extended essays on here during working hours, he was so good at his job that he could spend hours on here telling us all that the British are work shy!
Of course his reactionary rants always met with approval, which only encouraged him further. Odd place and odd people but a bit of fun all the same.

My point is that this couple are and have been subjected to considerable, global press attention, beyond any other member of the Royals in recent times, though possibly not as much as Kneau Reeves or Bill Gates who have done an amazing job of keeping under the radar. What’s your point?
