Harry and Meghan News ( Finding Freedom!)

Yes Ethel & depending which way the court case will go there may well be a lot more stuff to come out.

Interesting viewpoint Buttery I remember reading that from you before.

Apparently Harry reads everything about himself

He's spoken about being in therapy. If he hasn't yet seen a therapist who has got him to accept the idea that this is very unhealthy and for his own sake he has to stop, then he hasn't seen the right therapist yet. Pity since he / the RF have the money to pay for the very best.

@EthelMayFergus you're absolutely right about the comparison between how William and Harry spent their first years of marriage. It's absolutely crazy how MM launched into a public life when there was no need then complained when it all got too much. I don't recall Kate doing any public engagements before their wedding.

However, previously she has always had upward momentum when moving on and with the Corona Virus, their snooty attitude towards to Queen during megxt and the current preception of them on both sides of the Atlantic I think she's finally hit the glass ceiling and has no where else to go, I think she's peaked a being 'Harry's Wife'

I agree to this, when MM decides to upgrade H for a megatrillionaire, she might find that there aren't any available. The whole Meg it debacle has been so public, I assume A listers etc are very aware of her social climbing habits. No billionaire wants to risk losing his carefully earnt money in a divorce settlement with someone like her. MM is the architect of her own downfall here, she has created her own glass ceiling. People are very aware of her social climbing habits and will protect themselves accordingly.

I don't know how long H can last out there, I really don't think he wanted to go LA at all, it's going to be so tricky regarding Archie if he does want to come home.

That depends. If he wants to return and Meghan agrees (or they can’t afford not to do so), it will be fine. If Meghan doesn’t agree but Harry insists, Frogmore Cottage is their home and currently the only one they have, so I would have thought he could prove he is going from staying at a friend’s house to his home with his son. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is where some of the details of Archie's life and what is considered his usual residence might be tricky. While it was noted in one of the papers that he's spent more than half his life outside the UK now, he's not been in the same place all that time. I'm not sure how you could establish what his 'place of residence' was. Anyone know what California law would say about it?

MM decides to upgrade H for a megatrillionaire, she might find that there aren't any available

This really reminds me of the Coen brothers film Intolerable Cruelty - a modern version of screwball comedy. I highly recommend it for anyone who hasn't seen it - brilliant comedy of remarriage and divorce lawyers.

I don't think money will be the issue. Both MM's parents have been declared bankrupt in their time, so it isn't unfamiliar territory for MM. For H however, it's unthinkable. The RF will always bale them out to avoid financial catastrophe. They won't go as far as funding a billionaire lifestyle but there will always be "help".

I don't recall Kate doing any public engagements before their wedding

She accompanied PW on a handful - one (to the Irish Guards, I think) very shortly after the engagement announcement. Nothing else sticks in my mind, so I think it was just a case of turning up alongside what was already in PW’s diary to please the onlookers.

I’m sure I read on another thread that legal custody of royal children is actually vested in the monarch? Not that I think HM will intervene in any parental disputes but it’s an interesting angle.

Kate had a visit to Northern Ireland before the wedding. Also Lancashire, Wales and the university in Scotland where they met.

depending which way the court case will go there may well be a lot more stuff to come out

This is why some of us don't believe it'll ever go ahead
Given some of the RF stories the media have held back and then used when the time seems right, they'd have to be absolutely mad

CanIHave I think there's been some doubt cast on how watertight that is, if it legally exists at all. But it's also been said that there's no way the Queen could use it. It would look so bad to attempt to remove a child from their loving parents, which they undoubtedly do, despite all their other misadventures.

It’s applicable to grandchildren I think? So not this situation unless Charles were to become king. I would seriously doubt it would ever be used though!

There’s no way they will force custody. Megan would done out on that for decades, she would completely play on the poor me, the RF took my child away from me angle. The RF know that so they wouldn’t give her that ammunition. It’s not like Archie is a realistic hier to the throne. Archie is what 7th?? Very unlikely that all of the other 6 will meet a sticky end and obviously once the Cambridge children grow up and start having kids he will fall even further down the line of succession.

There’s no way they will force custody. Megan would dine out on that for decades

I agree, but more to the point if it does come down to Harry returning alone, I've no doubt it would suit the RF to have Meghan and Archie as far away as possible ... anything which might help them to airbrush her out is all grist to their mill if their previous behaviour's anything to go by

Rumors have been swirling that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are living in Tyler Perry's Beverly Hills mansion with their 1-year-old son, Archie — but Gayle King denied reports that Winfrey, who is close friends with Perry, had anything to do with the arrangement.

"Oprah didn't hook that up," the CBS This Morning host told Entertainment Tonight. "Harry and Meghan know people. Tyler knows people. Oprah knows people, but she did not make that connection for Harry and Meghan to live in Tyler's house."

So, beholden to Perry.....h'mmmm

I agree they wouldn’t but maybe it would be used to say they have to agree an amicable joint custody arrangement between them or else she (or Charles) will intervene and take control. Or perhaps it is the done thing and a very tight NDA means we never hear about it.

It sounds like Oprah wants to distance herself from H&M.

I agree to this, when MM decides to upgrade H for a megatrillionaire, she might find that there aren't any available...... No billionaire wants to risk losing his carefully earnt money in a divorce settlement with someone like her.

I remember when I was a child my mother overheard a certain Lady (real title) X telling someone she had only married the Lord for the alimony. My mother was outraged but refused to tell me what alimony was.

I agree they wouldn’t (force custody) but maybe it would be used to say they have to agree an amicable joint custody arrangement between them or else she (or Charles) will intervene and take control

Thing is, if issuing ultimatums you have to make sure they can stick; whether it would or not I've no idea, but I imagine Meghan's lawyers will have a view

Another thing I've no idea about is if an NDA applies to someone living in the US ... anyone else know?

Gosh what drivel in that King article.

I agree it’s drivel, but it might well be true- “Gayle King is an American television personality, author and broadcast journalist ........also an editor-at-large for O, The Oprah Magazine.“

Much of what’s quoted in the article has appeared elsewhere - suggesting GK doesn’t really have an inside track and is just regurgitating old copy.

Another thing I've no idea about is if an NDA applies to someone living in the US ... anyone else know?

An NDA made in the UK, if breached, can be sued on in a UK court. Damages awarded can then be enforced in the US.

I haven't read the link, but Gayle King is Oprah's best friend. Her current status is due solely to Oprah. If Gayle King is saying something about Oprah, it comes with Oprah's blessing.
