I mean who would actually SAY such a thing? Even if their husband was a fox, which he definitely isn’t.

The gingerness is confusing her. Seen one, seen 'email all.

'My husband is a fox. He's very, very handsome.'

Almost Trumpian in her delusion and self-regard 😬

I'd take him back with the provision that all the Sussexes live with Andrew in Royal Lodge. The house is big enough for 2 families. Harry can help with the upkeep.

The Household from Hell. It would need its own reality show.

Would M be trading up if she ditched H and married Trump?

BreadInCaptivity · 13/07/2025 17:54

@Wundy I think the public perception of any reconciliation is something BP will take into serious consideration and I would think this alone would be prevent a return to royal duties.

I don’t see that going down well with H however, given the many number of times he’s assumed something is in his fathers gift to give and resenting not getting it, when it simply is not within the purview of the Monarch (even if the “father” wished to provide it). Security is a good example of this, as is “being cut off” from the DoC funding and more recently his allegations about his children’s passports.

The only possible forward path I can see is very controlled private visits to the UK to see KC (no pictures, press and a watertight non-disclosure agreement) and if they keep their noses clean and stop leaking potentially then being able to attend some family (not official) functions - limited to family who are agreeable - at this point probably only The York’s.

Any return I imagine being carefully phased and with very clear boundaries. In time, it’s possible that their family contacts may grow if they demonstrate they can be trusted again, but my bet is that will only extend to more junior members of the family (maybe the Tindall’s or the Phillips). I can’t see William, Anne or Sophie softening their position if I’m honest.

I think so - at least he has power, unlike the current husband, and more money too I think? Probably similar intellect but Trump with more charisma. whatever you think of Trump, there’s no way Harry could achieve anything like that kind of success in any field.

Trump would never be dumb enough to hook up with Meghan though. Isn’t he on the record describing her as “terrible”..

NormaMajors1992coat · 13/07/2025 17:57

I think Harry might find it hard to accept that public opinion is against his return - in the security case didn’t he argue that he should have it because of how devastated the public would be if anything happened to him?

My question is merely hypothetical - but Trump changes his mind so you never know.

But I don’t think M would have any interest in a quiet, humble, private involvement with the RF. She doesn’t like them on a personal level - she only wants the fame and publicity - oh, and status, but by definition that would only be of value if she could be seen participating in royal events and duties, which couldn’t happen.

(I hope!)

Yes I think Harry knows this is the last chance for his kids to experience Barmoral etc, even if it’s under super strict conditions and not the full on Royal family experience.

Once William is King, I doubt he will be allowed on any Royal property ever again.

NormaMajors1992coat · 13/07/2025 17:06

I just wish they could string a sentence together. Half the time it’s so incoherent I have to read a post twice to figure out whether this random poster I’ve never seen before actually admires Meghan or not.

I’d be mortified by them if I were Harry or Meghan.

To answer your question, I don’t think there would be uproar but I think there would be a noticeable difference between the reception the Sussexes got compared with other working royals.

Of course they would have their supporters to shriek and whistle and whoop whoop over the boos but they will never command the affection that other senior family members get and it could look and feel quite uncomfortable.

In my opinion there would not be protests as such more a silent revolution amongst the people who have stood up and defended the Royal Family since this saga started. Speaking for myself, if Harry and Meghan were brought back as working royals I would think ok Charles you are on your own, I’ve been a loyal supporter, standing up for you for years one here and in real life, that loyalty would end and I would sit back with my popcorn as the fox is given a key to the chicken house and watch the bloodbath whilst saying to myself, told you so.

Vespanest · 13/07/2025 18:13

Trump is a perfect example of why they would be a liability as working royals, especially Meghan. Whilst there would be plenty of support for blanking a Trump, or leaking disproval that is not the royals role when acting on behalf of the state. Nevermind the seating plan if Harry attends alone, the last time that happened caused vile affair rumours that are still being spouted today.

It must be nearly time for the will they/ won’t they go to Balmoral headline ?

Maybe she doesn’t, but it seems like H wants to reconcile with his family and perhaps she’ll support him in that and also consider the long term implications of estrangement on her own children.

Either way, whatever H and/M want it’s well beyond that now from my perspective (given public sentiment).

Any negotiations are going to be around what may be possible and with what caveats, bearing in mind any such decisions are likely to involve William as given he will be dealing with any long term ramifications.

Frankly H&M aren’t in a position to dictate terms here and to a significant degree they (by their actions) have also tied the hands of KC.

I’ve posted before about H&M’s inability to think strategically and it’s all come home to roost. All very well trying to keep HMQ on board but in the end their involvement with the RF was always going to come down to W in the end. I don’t think either of them could see beyond him being H’s brother and an “equal” when that’s obviously not the case.

Nick Candy the billionaire Reform Treasurer is back on the market I think he would be more attractive to Meghan than Trump.

They both think emotionally. They aren’t rational thinkers at all and that’s the problem .

The Sussex camp are denying they leaked the story...trouble is they have told so many porkies who knows whether anyone can believe that or not.

CoffeeCantata · 13/07/2025 18:38

@BreadInCaptivity

Idon’t think it’s In Meghan’s nature to make personal sacrifices for others - not even her husband. That’s what other people are there for.

CoffeeCantata · 13/07/2025 18:45

I was just thinking - the very existence of the Sussex Squad ought to be a serious obstacle to any reconciliation. The existence of this baying, semi-criminal online mob, which H and M have never condemned or even criticised, and sometimes openly supported, is not compatible with them re establishing official contact with the RF.
