What now for M&H

[OliviaBean]

I find the whole family and royal family (The Firm) aspect of Megxit very interesting.

Just wondering what now for M&H? Will they continue on with the strategy of talking and writing about the royal family or will things now change? I think the half in half out strategy on their terms would have worked for M&H but I think the RF were right to knock it on the head, it would never have worked for the RF, Harry was ready to go and Meghan was never going to just slot in with the system.

Just looking at Harry, I think the guy really needs the whole circus of fighting with the RF in public to stop, for his own mental health. He obviously has issues that he needs to come to terms with, he really needs to do this in private but this is at odds with how they need to make money now. I really fear for him the person.

If they keep going with the fighting then I think that's it for them and the RF. If they are to reconcile with the RF, how then do they make a living? I would imagine QE has left quite a provision for Harry in her will so perhaps the money making aspect will be less of a priority. I could see Charles being more open to a reconciliation but not sure about William.

Not trying to start a thread to bash anyone, just interested in other opinions.

I think several of those involved didn't expect her to go so suddenly and thought they'd have a few more years to make amends.

I’ve never thought he was remotely good looking - but that’s my personal opinion.

hes approaching 40, so left boyhood behind a long time ago.

It's unavoidable, looking at stills, that Meghan does have a lift to the left side of her mouth as a very faint smile. I know exactly what this is - I have resting bitch face ;) and I have to actively use my muscles to just make sure my lips aren't turned down and are instead flat/slightly curved upwards to soften my expression. But would I do it on one side of my mouth at my granny in law's funeral procession to take a better picture to make me look a little bit less sad and more smiley? Well, no I wouldn't.

Why would they go home now? they've been here since the 3rd of September. They will make their way home after the funeral.

If it acts and behaves like a boy.....

You are so right to ask yourself that question Jannie. I also never expected MM to come back here after Oprah. They must find it very tough.

@Meanderings

They could fly home to see the kids for a bit, decompress at home and head back? Rather than flying the kids over and upsetting routines etc

the other royals will be working, and I’m not sure how much time they can spend with them

Sigh

I think Camilla, Kate and Sophie all look done in.

@LondonWolf I agree that seeing each other in person and mourning the Queen together will have taken some of the heat out of their estrangement. W&H appeared to get on for over 30 years, that bond won't have completely evaporated.

Didn't Meghan say something in a podcast or interview along the lines of it taking alot more energy not to forgive than to forgive? It's probably a relief to have to interact instead of feeling angry from afar.

For all the reasons I explained in my long post.
Maybe they shouldn't have, but I would've clocked it and forgotten it in the time it took for you to write your post.
It's just the making a meal of it that seems so unnecessary

No - it’s because H&M are singled out for criticism and one of the queen’s other grandchildren also held hands with their spouse but they have not have had the same amount of tutting.

Very true

that photo really showed how bald he is, other than the wee bit at the front.

not that there is anything wrong with being bald, I really don’t think that at all. My dad was bald from before I was born and I always thought he was so handsome.

i wonder if Harry wants to avoid comparisons with William?

Why are you so keen for them to leave?

Its only 5 days till the funeral

12 hours both ways, so they lose a full one. 4 days left.

So they spend 3 days (land back UK side the day before) with their kids and come back?

I'm sure they'll fly out as soon as the funeral is over.

I don’t think it’s fair to analyse her facial expressions at such a moment.

Haha you're hilarious!
Are you Angela Levin?

Back atcha!

The other GC were not in the formal procession, that's the difference. It was not appropriate in the setting and their roles within it.

No, but I am a Jew.

All I will say is that Meghan is a strong lady to put up with all this. She must love Harry a lot.

@wellhelloitsme Perfect. Accuracy personified 😀

Oh, and btw, I usually don’t agree with @Roussette, but I reckon she argues her point with courtesy.

It was a great service

She loves something an awful lot, not sure it's Harry tbh.

Bingo

Zara was not in the main ceremonial party.

that is a huge and vital difference.
