Speculating about a divorce with a family with little children is crass. In fact the whole of your post is unpleasant. She's just a gold digger, is that what you're saying?
She will wait for Harry to receive an inheritance then ditch him? What a dreadful thing to say.

If all else fails, there's always the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Meghan & Harry could appear occasionally.

I definitely don't think she'll be happy grafting while he faffs doing unpaid charity work.

I do think they'll do different things, the celebrity couple thing hasn't really worked out.

Different things, different lives, lots of time apart, will they actually stay together, time will tell.

costacoughee · 09/07/2023 13:59

I don't think harry thought anything through. He won't leave his kids though

The 'charity' work won't be unpaid.

costacoughee · 09/07/2023 14:33

@Viviennemary It will draw a salary but not enough to fund a mansion. Big charity heads draw enormous salaries but they are organisers and innovative

You may find it a dreadful thing to say, Rousette, but that doesn't make it untrue or unlikely.
She will no doubt be happy for him to do his own thing in Africa until he receives this inheritance. What will happen then will depend on how things have changed (if they have changed) in the meantime.

I may be doing her a disservice, but I suspect she would let Harry take the children back to the U.K. in return for a large annual pay-out - claiming that she is making a huge sacrifice for their good. And perhaps she would be....

So you agree with the post. She's a gold digger and may well be ditching him once he receives his inheritance. And will even give her children up. 😮🙄

I have nothing else to say apart from what I said before.
I prefer not to think in those terms when there's little children involved and what you think is total hearsay. And quite unpleasant to my mind.

I imagine there's posters on here desperate for that scenario to take place.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 09/07/2023 16:41

Seems a bit much to suggest Meghan would trade the kids for an annual payout, BadgerB

I've said myself (purely IMO of course) that she never had any intention of staying here and that Harry was little more than an "opportunity", but even I wouldn't have her down for giving up her own children

Anyway there's no need to even think about it as things stand; time enough for that if what many speculate about comes to pass, and even then it wouldn't be something any of us could affect in any way

Howsimplywonderful · 09/07/2023 16:42

Just like the posters who seemed desperate to say they thought William had an affair.

They weren’t pleasant posters either.

I hope both couples stay together but I did find Harry’s comments about him marrying for love while others married for duty, nasty and low.

That’s a bunch of really nasty things to say about a person.

Roussette · 09/07/2023 16:55

As if she'd give up her children for a bucketload of cash ... I just can't get my head round this sort of thinking. It's really really unpleasant. And on a parenting forum. Shocking.

I presume it's people who are desperate, just desperate, to see them split up so they can do the biggest 'I told you so' known.

Wherestheheatwave · 09/07/2023 17:06

I don’t think she’ll give her children up . However if they do split things might get acrimonious. If she meets someone else that will really complicate the picture too. Despite what some might think I don’t at all wish it, but am speculating on what I feel will happen at some point. I can see him living in his own in the US and her moving on into another relationship which is less complicated in terms of dynamics and personality . She will never have to deal with the RF again or set foot in the UK , which will suit her just fine.

Roussette · 09/07/2023 17:11

Why speculate on someone's marriage ending though?
Especially when little children are involved.

It just comes across as unpleasant gossiping to be honest. You feel it will happen, you say.

Would you actually be pleased if they stayed together, is that what you would prefer?

costacoughee · 09/07/2023 17:15

I'm sure they can work out a mutually satisfactory relationship where they fulfil their own agendas and are successful in them. I don't think Meghan needs a man as a stepping stone. You can't reach much higher than a royal prince and now she has celebrity she can call her own shots. The important thing is the kids have two loving parents. If they find they are not compatible in the long term what does it matter they can still parent. Lots of families work better like this.

I really find that hard to believe. I don't think either parent, if they got a divorce, and I don't believe they will, would move away from them. It's quite clear how much they love them and are invested in them.
How, financially, that would work, I don't know. One house that size with all the security is difficult enough to pay for, but to have to provide two....
Of course, no one knows how the future will shape up, however, I just don't see them separating based on what we see of their relationship at the present time. And for their children, I have everything crossed that they never will.

Sugarfree23 · 09/07/2023 17:19

I doubt he'll ever live in the US alone, that would really screw up his MH. Loneliness, no family, no true friends that he can really trust.
He'd end up hitting the booze or pot then end up in rehab - which is when Dad will step in.

Time apart thought work could well mean one of them meets someone else.

Fergie & Andrews official relationship was ended by being papped and a toe sucking incident. If the world wasn't aware of the affair they'd probably have never divorced. (I keep thinking they'll remarry but that's another story)

Gracewithoutend · 09/07/2023 17:38

Andrew and Fergie had legally separated before those photos were published. She's never spoken about the possibility of staying married - and she's spoken about pretty much everything!
I think it was interesting that after her cancer diagnosis and op, she said she was going to take care of herself instead of others for once. She said in an interview after the queen's death that she'd promised her that she'd take over the care of Andrew so she probably spends most of her time fanning his ego. So between him and her daughters being new mothers, she's probably had her hands full.

Ohpleeeease · 09/07/2023 17:42

Not sure I agree that speculation about H and M’s marriage particularly hurts their children, who are far too young to know anything about it. By the time they’re old enough to know or care, people will have long forgotten it was ever discussed.

BadgerB · 09/07/2023 17:47

Well, I hope I'm wrong. Time will telll

KnickerlessParsons · 09/07/2023 18:01

Any inheritance H receives is likely to be tied up in all sorts of trusts and things to prevent exactly that from happening.

Ohpleeeease · 09/07/2023 18:30

I’ve never speculated about their marriage, nor do I intend to. But I’m pretty sure people speculated about mine, 40+ years ago, yet here we still are.

Dinopawus · 09/07/2023 20:04

Go back before they married and look at things through Meghan's eyes. The A lister celebs that she aspires to be, present their lives to look glamorous and make a lot of money from endorsements. Meghan is willing to work hard and thinks she has done enough homework. It must seem nuts to her not to be making money in the same way.

Throw in a less than fawning press and the dawning reality that royal life is touring factories in conservative dress, drafty houses, and doing your Husbands grans bidding. Then throw in the reality that you are the fourth family in the pecking order and the only way is down. Of course you are going to run. And of course you are going to monetise what you think you know.

Unfortunately, Harry didn't realise just how much of his life the palace machine smoothed over. And Meghan failed to understand that her tales would be scrutinised.
