Are Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lili coming back home?

It would be nice to have them back and getting along with the rest of the family, what do people think? They'd have to apologise and try to move forward in a positive way. With Charles being unwell and elderly, and the Wales kids too young to serve as working royals, the Sussex's may be needed. Trump may win the election, which could have a negative impact on them and Archie will start school soon, a great time to relocate home?? Apparently Meghan is looking for PR agencies to help her improve her image. Would the Uk welcome them?

I think this post is related to an article in a certain tabloid about a judge reviewing H’s immigration application. Are you a journalist, OP?

You can say the words Daily Mail !

I assumed it was relating to the media reports that Meghan is looking for a British PR expert ?

Meghan would never curtsey to Catherine.

Curtseying is the least of their worries. She can’t be trusted at all.

Home for them now is the US.

I don't see them returning as working royals - the idea is that the monarchy will be slimmed down. H&M relinquishing the role has hurried it along a bit, but it's the direction of travel. They don't like and don't want the role, and I think their current reputation for publishing private information rules them out completely from the entire governmental, representational and diplomatic aspect of the role

How is the U.K. their home? Only one of the four of them was born here.

Two actually - Harry and Archie, though Archie spent hardly any time in the UK.

They would be shit as working Royals! They don't want to put up with all the mundane bits, especially her! I don't think anyone in the RF wants her back either. They're in their home and let them stay there.

Too much water under the bridge.

I really don't think Meghan understood what being royal meant . I would say 'royal work' in the majority is dull and down right boring with the odd glamour event thrown in . Meghan couldn't give a shit about Britain and her people and Harry really didn't give a shit either , he always said he could do what he wanted , fine but don't expect taxpayers money to do so .

simonthedog · 07/03/2024 20:43

They would be mad to come back.

Charlingspont · 07/03/2024 20:43

No. They don't want to appear at someone else's court. They are creating their own alternative court in the US. If it were the middle ages people would be literally battling for the throne. The Duchess of Sussex aka Lady Macbeth.

@Mylovelygreendress It might be about both-I’m in the US and it popped up on my news feed. Anyway, personally I really doubt that they’ll return to the UK, far too many bridges burnt.

I know the thread sounds a bit journalisty but I'm curious. The royal family is now very slimmed down and two senior royals are unwell and a third, camilla very elderly and in need of rest. I like the royal family for lots of reasons and I am appalled at the public attacks against the Walses from H&M. But, they are family, their children are royal and they are somewhere in line to the throne. IF they could have worked though their issues it would have been nice to have a new generation of royals including the Walses and Sussexes. I do agree though the M&H can't be trusted not to spill the beans as they already have. There is no trust. It's a big shame.

I doubt it. They had serious death threats against their kids and denied security. Although I'm sure the press would love it.

Mylovelygreendress · 07/03/2024 20:49

They weren’t denied security . They CHOSE to leave .

Also media reports that the judge in the DHS case relating to Harry's visa applixation is playing hardball.

Curtseying is the least of their worries. She can’t be trusted at all.

Parodying her curtsey to the late Queen, that exaggerated theatrical sweep whilst rudely mocking and sneering, amply demonstrated she is unfit for any position representing the institution into which she was so determined to marry. I doubt she can define respect, she’s clearly not going to earn it.

itsnotabouthepasta · 07/03/2024 21:05

Honestly I think far too much shit has gone on. There’s been too many lies/half truths/manipulations for anyone to trust either of them

as a PP said Meghan didn’t seem to understand that royal work isn’t about her. It’s about shining the spotlight on the charities. It’s about opening a car park in the rain in Grimsby, not hanging with Beyoncé at a movie premiere. And as I’ve always said on here that is solely down to Harry.

but by publicly claiming that they claimed the royals were racist despite KNOWING that Archie wasn’t given a title because he wasn’t the grandson of a monarch and then Proceeding to give their kids titles after three years of whining, they’ve gone to far.

they may have a way back in as long as Charles is king but as soon as William accedes the throne, the shit will really hit the fan.

when the queen was alive they were very careful never to criticise her because she had the power. As soon as Charles became king they retracted all previous criticism of him and aimed it at William because they know their funding depends on Charles. But William won’t forget that and nor
should he

That was just disgusting. So disrespectful!

The whole having to curtsey thing is ridiculous and the ridiculous should always be pointed out.

LindorDoubleChoc · 07/03/2024 21:09

Why do you ask @NotMyPage? This doesn't read like a genuine thread at all, it reads like a plant from a PR person or some AI tomfoolery.

Agreed. I can't see what the fuss is with her mock curtsey, she was just making a point.

If she thinks the royal family and it’s traditions are so ridiculous why did she marry into it?

pilates · 07/03/2024 21:14

I didn’t think Meghan wanted to set foot in the UK again.

It would be good if they could find some peace between them, if Harry with or without Meaghan could bring the kids over for a few weeks to spend time with Charles, meet their cousins / extended family, if the brothers could put the past behind them and that when Charles does die that the whe family could be together to grieve without all this mess. I'd wish that of any family fractured in this way.

Why on earth would William forgive and forget, Harry and Meagain went for his wife, That can never be forgotten or forgiven.

daisychain01 · 07/03/2024 21:17

It's like getting back together with an ex. The reasons why there was a break up are still there, the issues haven't been resolved and there's a gapping wound that hasn't healed but will do, given time and space away from the problem.

the Sussexes need to just get on with their lives, stop courting attention every 5 mins and recognise they have a growing family who will soon be in school and need stability, not knowing their father is burning up airmiles back and forth in and out of courtrooms.

Because she loved Harry I presume.

I love my partner. I don’t like, love or respect most of his parents views or way of life. Much of the way the RF live is ridiculous and outdated.

LipstickLil · 07/03/2024 21:19

a) I really hope not.

b) Fortunately, I can't see it happening.

c) Where do all these silly stories keep coming from?

Perhaps there’s a time and a place to do so. Perhaps from within an institution like the Royal Family, generations hence will agree to dismiss certain traditions in the spirit of modernising rituals that are agreed to be considered outdated.

There have long been rituals in eg the military services, in the Church of England / Catholic Church, in parliament, to name a few often seen on TV, and across the world in all nationalities. Those that may once have had a sensible and reasonable explanation may seem ridiculous now, to some, to onlookers, perhaps to (some of) those taking part. But you don’t choose a CofE wedding and then publicly ridicule the vicar, the choir, the bride’s attendants, the best man, the speeches… you don’t choose to be part of it and then sell a story saying how ridiculous your spouse’s family are.

Perhaps the younger generations of royals will indeed overhaul and modernise the traditions of old. I hope they progress intelligently and sensitively. Intelligence and sensitivity are lacking in the Sussexes, as they remind us time and again.
