Who are we to judge the Sussexes?

WHAT would you give up for love?

However, if I was in a serious relationship, coming to an agreement on a new life together would be something I’d want us to discuss together.

It wouldn’t be about one person giving something, or someone, up – it would be a decision we had made together. And I wouldn’t throw out an ultimatum either.

I know I couldn’t turn my back on my family but I don’t feel Harry is either. It’s all speculation but behind closed doors I’m sure they function like any normal family.

Even if they are dysfunctionally rich and privileged, that doesn’t make them any less likely to feel the same emotions we do when it comes to love – whether it’s towards your wife or your grandmother.

It’s a difficult question to answer but one which has raised its head over the last few weeks, as Harry and Meghan make their exit from Britain.

After a few months of speculation, the Queen confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would step away as “senior royals” and give back £2.4million in taxpayers’ money for the renovations to their UK home, Frogmore Cottage.

There has been a lot of commentary in the press since negotiations began, with some blaming Meghan for Harry’s decision to “turn his back on his family and quit The Firm”.

Harry said it was a tough decision to step away from everything he has ever known, but one he wants to make to give his young family a new life.

Who are we to judge someone for wanting to live a more private life after everything he has been through?

Yes, he is in a privileged position but no one is immune to the great sadness of losing a parent at a young age and how that will affect you into adulthood.

Has falling in love with Meghan given him a new outlook? I’d say, yes. However, is this enough for him to give it all up for love? I guess we will never know.

Whether there is anyone to blame or not, it’s a tough question to think about in our own lives.

How far would you go, or change, for love? Some will be under the impression that if it is going to cost you your whole life, is it really worth it? Others will follow the mantra; if you truly love someone, you will risk it all.

When I asked my friends what they would give up, it comes down to changeable things – such as a job or promotion, a house, proximity to friends or family, rather than dropping everything for that one person.

Personally, I’m not the type of person who would do something on a whim and move across the world for someone I just met.
