The world is excited about 'Megxit' but a new poll says half of Canadians 'ultimately do not really care' if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spend a lot of time in their country

TORONTO—Canadians are fine with the Queen on their money. They’re not sure they want a Duke and Duchess in their backyard.

Last week’s announcement by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that they have decided to step back from their roles as senior members of Britain’s royal family and split their time between the U.K. and North America has created a global uproar.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

They are v welcome to Uganda, btw.

And 90% of Americans!

No global uproar , they have their lives we have ours , let’s leave them to live .

Most Americans don't care either, better things to discuss in the media than this. Perhaps only in the UK

Only half?

The Canadians will change their minds when they are given the bill for Prince Harry and his Trailer trash wife.

Who cares?

If nothing else seems to be consistent with the Canadians they do not want to foot the bill for security for the Royals....Rosemary has been used since ancient times for a variety of purposes.....

We sure as hell don’t care. Got rid of royals (except Dems) 244 years ago.

They’ll care when their taxes go up to pay for them

Megix, no one is really interested.

I live a few minutes down the road from where they are currently staying on Vancouver Island. There is mild curiosity amongst locals given their celebrity status, but for the most part no one will bother them. I wish them well.

The most unnewsworthy story of 2020

What worth or value have they contributed to society other than being the by products of wealth and privilege

Tabloid NYT

Nobody else gives a sh!t either. Just some fourth estate fantasy that we do.

No, the world doesn’t care what these two self absorbed pin heads do.

And that’s why they like it there. The people don’t care

'The world'

Which is exactly why they want to live here, is my guess.

The “world”. Is excited, really? Based on the media’s excitement Yawn

Does Megan actually think Harry is going to make her a bundle of money and their child will be her leverage? She might just want to look to Diana for guidance. Di’s children were raised in the palace. Might be an epic custody fight but so will Archie.

Nobody is excited but WSJ and all the media.

WSJ stop!

I think the UK is going to want to know why he 'defected' and he prob owes that to them as theyve given a lot of $ to the queen/royals. kensingtonroyals

Foresight. Megan or Harry will run for Prime Minister and WIN

Just leave them alone - the news media victimizing this poor couple so they can make some money selling their crappy stories is a travesty — pathetic journalism!

I have no idea why these rich kids think that anyone cares about what they do any given day... Seriously, not everyone is excited about you, so you can just do whatever, we don't care THAT much.

If you do care, you’re focusing on the wrong stuff.

Pay for your own security.

The world hasn't had to endure colonialism like Canada has and still does.. :

Keep them in Canada! The USA does not want Meghan back! (Poor sweet baby Archie ---- he has been separated from his extended LOVING family and cousins. Not fair for him!!!!!)

And that is why they have chosen to spend there time there.

The world isn’t. no one cares.

Can I abdicate my commonness and become Royal?

Well that is part of the reason they moved there. It sure beats being scrutinized with a magnifying glass 24/7 by the horrible exploitative dangerous Murdoch tabloids 'media'. Privacy and disinterest will suit them if they can find it.

Not my world. No one I know cares...not even a little

As a Canadian living in a French province I was always appalled and strongly offended by the not royals. Giving up a fake meaningless title is very impressive. They are obviously more human than the so-called bitch queen. People with a mind of their own! About fucking time !

It dont matter that canada dont care thats the first black lady to finesse England.

How are they going to pay their bills? Neither has a job. I’m confused.

Good! Then they get to live their lives in some peace.

It depends what they do there.

*Canada shrugs polietly

Maybe that’s why they will live there ?

I suspect he will be divorced and sitting all alone on his royal hindness very very soon

I trust the other half of Canadians were not polled

The....LAUGHING.....stock of the world😃😂😁😀😊☺

Beauty full moment

Yawn

Megxit or Megshit ? Epic

They should, because they will be paying for the securities of these two.

That's probably why they want to live there. No one really cares about them in Canada.

What is Harry 's job?

The caribbean and south america dont give a shit so yea it aint global, small one

Trust me - no one in the UK is that interested in their woke hypocritical life. All we want is for the Canadians to pick up their protection costs and we can spend the saving on far more deserving causes.

U.S. couldn’t care less either.

Half of Canada does care, how do you think us scots feel, the whole of this country doesn't care and we pay for the privilege.

Which is exactly what they want.

Is their marriage an example of women dominating?

Everyone outside the media shrugged, not just Canada.

Nobody gives a f***

Who cares as long as they pay their own security.

Loved the new coined term “Megxit” as if she is leading the whole story 🤣👍🏻

Nooooo!

I guess that is why they are moving here. Canada is not that impressed.

Truly love the Canadians carefree attitude

Good for Canadians

This is the best. As a Canadian I concur! We are happy to have them...or not. In general Canadians are like do what ya want no one cares. Which is prob why they want to move here!

Wedon’t believe in kings , queens , duchess, home wreckers , gold diggers etc...

What poll says the world is excited?

No one gives two shits about this.

If they don’t care...that’s great! That’s exactly what H and M want...just ignore them!

Why wsj the world is excited , nobody follow them longtime ago. You are very behind.

actually noone cares.

No one in England cares either....

not that many are excited ppl i talk to are either annoyed or feel bad for harry

They will if they have to finance them.

Me neither.

YAWN. No one cares. Boring....................

In fact only the media, which 4 reasons no one knows always had a London office or bureau, care really. Now let's go back to what Iran will do to actually avenge the dead general dude for God's sake..

As long as we don't pay for security!

Why should they? Tell Harry and Slooty Wallis McVootey to move to Pyongyang.

I don’t care where they live but if you post one more news about them being here in Canada I’m gonna shoot someone

I can't believe that the other half actually care. Don't they have lives, jobs, hobbies, problems to deal with?

Why WOULD Canadians care where they spend their time unless they're Royalists or celeb chasers. They're two people doing what people do. This ongoing conversation about them is so mundane.

Especially, if they have to pay for them. A good reason to denounce the Commonwealth?

🤣 Yuppies think people care about them

The world is all 'meh' about it.

Global uproar? Lol no she hasn’t the global cheap media has

I wish them the best

People need to get over it leave that young couple alone. Geez, give it a rest! Let them figure out their own lives.

I admire Harry for being a stand-up, protective, loving, and supportive husband! And Megan for being authentic and true to herself❣ If Canadians doesn't want them or care, you can best believe the USA definitely welcomes them with Love and Open Arms❣

no one in the US cares either....

Who gives a fuck?

Good. The can have them. 🇨🇦

This is absolutely incorrect..the world doesn't care at all, and Canadians care a lot because we are now supporting their dead beat asses!! Canadians are pissed they're here. Our liberal government loves handing out money. Who else wants some? Come on, don't be shy!!

Not much happening so Manic Media flog this story to death and hope something big comes along (oh what luck - Impeachment beginning to Rhumba)

Well. It is part of the Common Wealth, you know.

“The world”

the world lol 🤣

I mean, that's Canada, though: Megxit = Shrug Trump having a U.S. ambassador stalked = shrug Genocide of First Nations people = shrug

Ah to be in the billionaire class

I wonder that it’s even half. Why would anyone care.

let them find their way, stop with the constant criticism. Canada may be just the right attitude for them

Do they care about paying for it?

Ultimately I think England feels about the same way.

HEY NEWS MEDIA! LET THEM BE!! MeghanMarkle Megxit WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER PRINCESS DI TRAGEDY DO WE NOW? And yes all news media is to blame! RoyalFamily

Scrolling for something newsworthy

Correct. I don’t care. Isn’t a “royal family” the ultimate show of a patriarchy. From everything I’ve read that’s a bad thing......... the patriarchy

I think most Canadians are happy the couple choose to live in the great white north, they just don’t need daily reminders of it.

so, it sounds like Meg and Harry are getting what they wanted

I don't think the world is that excited.

Live and let live. 🇨🇦

The world is not. This is not longer a valid news publication

Sign me up with the Canadians as I don't really care either.

Who cares?

The world

Well, I do live in this world too, but actually I don't give a fuck

Or any other for that matter 🇺🇸

The only “uproar” is in the media.

Nobody cares.

I guess we know now who’s wearing the pants 👖 in this family.

What's wrong with the other half?

Average Canadians are not that impressed with celebrity

Go girl go. We can have a king in Canada. Harrytheking

Just what we need - two useless Royal carbuncles swanning around at our expense giving PM Peter Pan more selfie opportunities.

Indésirables au Canada !😂😂😂😂 oh, la starlette !

2020 version of John and Yoko...

Because we’re decent people who have better things to do than harass two people who just want some peace.

I would assume that’s EXACTLY why they are choosing to go there. One of my favorite things about my city is 99.6% of the residents “ultimately do not really care” that I’m here...& mind their own business & not mine. Magnificent 😘🤗

That's probably part of the appeal...

They want to be out of the spotlight let them. No one cares. Just let them go away.

Wall Street, the world doesn’t give a damn about what the over privileged children do, the only ones wetting their knickers over this debacle is the overly righteous news rags. Megxit is irrelevant, so stop pushing it.

The woman has her anchor baby! Poor Harry will suffer for his actions. The story has all the ear marks of Fergie and Andrew.

The world is not....nobody cares about this dudes so called fame just for being born...especially from pedo daddy

MEHxit

This is the Wall Street Journal.

brilliant couple does all right! fuck her majesty

Even if they cared Canadians would be too polite to say anything. (Except possibly in French.)

Most rational people who are responsible and work regular jobs don't care about the royals or hollywood.

thomaspower They are only royals n their castle let’s all stop giving them attention!!!

Ya think?

That's precisely why they chose Canada. Live and let live ❤

People should be happy. They’re in their mid 30s and finally moving out of his mom’s house and trying to be financially independent.

In Canada they could go shopping anywhere without being bother at all. We are discrete, polite but exception from journalist!

Just hope they stay in Canada, we have enough trouble-makers in the US.🥺🇺🇸🙄😢

I give it two winters and she is back in Hollywood

Wasted fluff piece. What they do or don't do doesn't matter to anything or anyone important in this world.

But they don’t want to pay their bills.

Actually I do care if we are footing their security bills. If u guys come here I hope it’s cuz you like it here not because WE’RE PAYING FOR IT

Paparizzi (photograph) are not welcome in Canada! So, watch them!

Don’t care if they come here but no interest in footing their bill. You want out, pay your own way.

Is HarryandMeghan taking advice from 😇 Obama ❓🤦🏻‍♀️😜😂 “... The pair have reportedly been taking advice from the Obamas as they map out their future. ...” This will end badly as Obama was a Dud President 😶 I feel for the RoyalFamily KensingtonRoyal 😢

Very few people anywhere care a button where the Sussexes spend their time. Megxit is just space-filling MSM junk news.

Half of Canadians do care? Wtf.

Of course we don't, our economy is getting crushed, our best talent is leaving in droves, we lack civil liberties, accountable and transparent government and, have a near covert police state. With all the debt, cost of living and misery in Canada, their lives are a low priority

Which is probably why they like the idea of living in Canada🎉🍀🎊

Why do you have to do this?

Canadians are saying, “ Of course they want to come to Canada..”

'Global uproar ' BBBABABAABHAHAHA I think NOT

I suspect that’s why they find the idea of residing in Canada desirable.

This is great news for H & M - they want a life where fewer people are focused on them.

We pakistanis dont care either, in other words 'NO ONE GIVE A FUCK ABOUT DRAMAS OF ENGLISH MONARCH'S'

This is dumb

Why would anyone care where 2 people just trying to live their lives are?

It’s winter in Canada, we’re just focused on survival.

Canadians are smart people. This belongs in a tabloid.

I think that's probably a worldwide view.

Time to Short the Monarchy stock 😁

So, the Canadians will pay for their expenses now?

Who cares what they do period

No one actually give a damn.

Let's go! Chop....chop! Many have waited for these two to make a hit. You got what you waited for. Time to go wild & celebrate the arrival. Aren't they so marvelous? Much like Edward the VIII & Wallis Simpson, Charles & Diana. ♀️

Why are they running and hiding?

Canadians may start to have a opinion when they realise that they are paying out of their own taxes for these celebrities sicurity while they live in Canada

I do Not want them here in US.

Switzerland is neutral.

We are a pretty docile bunch up here in Her Majesty's Dominion of Canada. We really only have first world problems that anyone else in the world would demand for themselves.

who really gives' a crap about these two,this Royal elite leftist halftwitt, never worked a day in his life, never had a real job, never had to worry about mortgage payment, getting food on the table, or paying for his kids college, but he is telling you how to live your life.

Nobody cares!

That's exactly what they want for Canadians not to care, that's why they're moving to Canadian tundra in the first place.

Stay in UK !! - we don’t want to pay for your Security here - we are taxed enough

She reminds me of Yoko Ono. Poor Harry looking whipped. This marriage on life support.

It's not that we don't care - - maybe we just want them to have their own good life in this country without all the obnoxious pomp and circumstance. It's a really great place to live.

I just don’t want to pay for them. polcan PrinceHarryAndMeghan

Global uproar? No one is loosing sleep over them

Canadians will have support another non citizen!

No one cares !! Poor Harry

i genuinely love how cavalier and canadian the title of this article is

May they quickly and quietly settle into obscurity.

Who

I don't really think they moved to Canada to excite Canadians. It was more like, we need to get the hell away from Buckingham Palace.

welovevitti

If this is what they want and are happy LET THEM BE

I could care less about them but I do hope they never come to the United States.

What’s a Megxit?

We care if these 2 humans believe they’re entitled to residency in Canada & that Canadians need to pay their costs. His grandmother is our beloved monarch. Subsidizing Saudi Princesses & English Princes remains a high priority for JustinTrudeau

As a Canadian I could care less that they choose to come here. BUT I absolutely DO NOT want my government to pay for their personal security ( as we do when they travel here for royal tours).

America doesn’t care either.

Nobody cares. Let them live their lives.

That’s probably great news for them, maybe they’ll be left alone.

Which is why Harry and Meghan made an excellent decision.

After closer inspection of this debacle, I'm tuning out from the whole bloody lot of them.

Which might be why they’re moving there... they can just be. As long as Brits and US press stay out and leave them alone.

That's exactly why they are moving there 😏.

Canadians say they do not really care royals are there until they hear how many millions they are going to pay out of their pockets for royal security, then they seem to really care

A pair of hypocritical lunatic left misfits. rabidgreenlunaticleftcircus

It's only half!?

KensingtonRoyal globeandmail DailyMirror BBCWorld people TMZ THR latimes BuzzFeed reddit FT ‘Megxit’ Causes Global Uproar. Canada Shrugs. Half of Canadians ‘ultimately do not really care’ if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spend a lot of time in their country

I think its appallingly how they have been treated in the tabloids. Why people buy that crap is beyond me. They are still entitled to a life. Did they not learn anything from what they did to his mother? I hope they can find peace and live their lives like they want too.

Who does...low level reality TV.

Wait, and the other half cares?!

NO ONE CARES outside of the UK. Just two more celebs looking to cash in on their names. Kind of sad to actually watch Prince Harry shill Meagan to Bob Iger at a party for her to do 'voice-overs' for Disney movies. (How did that video got out lol?) awkward

Really, the world is excited? 🙄😂

“Global Uproar” 💤 😴

Meghan and Prince Harry are probably looking for exactly that! They seem like a couple who just want to live their lives in peace. Canada is the perfect place to do that.

They moved. To Canada. Like thousands of people do everyday. People, you need to find a hobby or two if you're feeling that invested in these two.

Pay their own way!

Who cares? Of what importance do they have?

Oh no🤣

I doubt any one outside of the UK csres tbh .. we already have a royal king here in the states

They've both already spent a lot of time here. She lived here for seven years. He trained here with the British Army here. Canadians don't generally give a shit about famous people and they both know it. That's literally why they're moving here.

The country can deport them.

New Home _. LMAO Harry has no one to wash his balls

Outside of the UK, no one really cares about these pampered poodles.

Yes, if pay back the time, there is another world.

Like the Kardashians, what value do they add to anyone's life? Not sure what Prince Harry's skills are other than to know which fork or spoon to use at dinner?

As long as they pay their way.....I don't care either.

The world isn't really excited either.
