A.N. WILSON: William and Kate would probably be glad to never see Harry and Meghan again. But this is why they must make peace with the Sussexes... and the disastrous consequences I foresee if they do not

I’ve just seen this headline in the mail, can’t read it as I don’t subscribe but seriously?? Why on earth should they? It’s like being forced to stay with an abusive partner “to keep the peace” bullying of William and Catherine by the media again. There is definitely a campaign running to get them back.

Apols if someone else has already posted this but I can’t keep up!

Anyhow, copy the URL of the paywalled article and paste into the box shown on the website archive.ph.

Voila. Works for most newspapers and magazines.

Jeff, I will be camped out on the Mall protesting if they let that horrible little ferret back in the RF.

I will definitely have to write to KC about it.

That's an insult to ferrets who at least are cute and useful! 😂

But I will chain myself to the gates of Buckingham Palace with you!

Baboom-tish!

I will admit to giving it serious thought.

If (unlikely if) this has been a set up by the royal family to make it look like a Harry leak and Harry unable to not clap back with his sources, making him look guilty with every press relief, then it's been a stroke of genius.

Ohpleeeease · 14/07/2025 18:25

Charles will understandably want to be reconciled with his son. The King as Head of State has a duty to keep threats to the monarchy at bay. Someone is going to have to negotiate very delicately to manage those two conflicting interests.

@JSMill hi, yes, I was thinking about that when I was writing.

But on a different note - did you notice Charlotte was wearing really pretty pink nail polish yesterday? It was so cute and typical of most wee girls starting to be curious about such things.

I had a very girlie girl like Charlotte then seemingly overnight when she was about 12 she decided she would never touch the colour pink again or a dress, unless it was low cut and short!! I wonder what Kate will do if that happens to Charlotte!!

Tell me about it!

I wonder though, when your mum has the figure of a model, you see her fitted by a couturier and know her outfits make headlines…..that she may spare Kate some of the trauma of teen fashion and may want to follow in her footsteps.

Sorry Humpback- I should have added a disclaimer! Ferrets are indeed fine creatures and should not be insulted by comparison to Harry.

IlovethedramaMick · 14/07/2025 18:36

This may have been mentioned- I haven’t RTFT- but could it be BP who have set up the pap, knowing that everyone will presume it was team Sussex? So they can say to Charles “look we tried to start talks with Harry like you asked but you just can’t trust him”?

If it was team Sussex organising it and the Royal guy was surprised then I’d really question if he was up to the job. I think for both parties to sit outside they knew there’d be photos and wanted there to be.

AN Wilson is a notorious contrarian. I admire his novels and some non-fiction but his journalism is usually just a silly attempt to stir things and go against the tide.

Ahh I didn’t realise this, I am able to read the comments on the article and to say they are against his article is an understatement!

TheAutumnCrow · 14/07/2025 18:44

God, there are so many flags flying everywhere at the moment it’s like sandcastles and bunting at the beach on a sunny summer’s day in Torquay.

Thanks to @TheAutumnCrow here is the AN Wilson article, he must be trolling us.

Not2identifying · 14/07/2025 19:13

Thanks. That A.N Wilson article was sort of saying the same as Givemespanakopita. I think they were most dangerous just after they had left and that they have become a bit of a joke since. I think the media treats the estrangement like a soap opera source of drama which they'll enjoy reporting on for years to come (Harry has done his kids no favours by using the Prince/ss titles because it makes legitimate 'public interest' arguments in the future). But I don't think any of this will hurt the monarchy.

That article makes no sense.

Saying let them be part time royals. Well they tried that and the press commenting on her writing affirmations on bananas being sent out to sex workers and other such issues, left Meg feeling suicidal and they had to flee.

Just how the fuck would they cope with the public and the press if they came back, after all they’ve done. It wasn’t just attacking the RF. They attacked the British public, repeatedly.

They wouldn’t release pics of Archie until they were in SA- because why would they reveal pics to racists in the UK. They wouldn’t send their kids to British schools because it’s so dangerous with the public and paps. Harry claiming he can never return to the UK with his family- because the place is so god damn dangerous. Complaining about the British tabloids….which they know is read by the British public etc

This writer has been sniffing the flower sprinkles.

BasiliskStare · 14/07/2025 19:17

Thank you @BigWillyLittleTodger and @TheAutumnCrow . I read the AN Wilson article. He gets much wrong but especially I think that the feud between the brothers is festering and furious. I don't get that impression from W's side, more so from H's. By all accounts W has stopped thinking about his brother, not worth the effort.
There is no need at all to bring H&M back into the RF fold in the sense of working Royals. Too unpopular to step back into it & any half , quarter whatever in is surely off any table. Let Charles privately reconcile with Harry and his grandchildren. Anything which is not private I honestly think would be a mistake.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 14/07/2025 19:22

From the article! This is exactly what they had before they left, all of which apparently drove Meghan to the brink of suicide.

Consider one possibility. William offers his brother an olive branch and he accepts it. Harry and Meghan can then perhaps <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/22uUP/www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-10574263/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-want-time-royals.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">achieve something close to what they originally asked for – being 'part-time royals'.* They might resume occupation, for part of the year at least, of some grace-and-favour mansion in Windsor Great Park, with additional houses, perhaps, in London and Scotland.
They can support British charities, perform royal duties and, in return, enjoy taxpayer-funded bodyguards and, who knows, even some recompense for being 'working royals'.*

Profhilodisaster · 14/07/2025 19:24

The palace PR machine managed to turn people's opinion of Camilla around but I think it would take a whole lot more to ingratiate H&M back into the affection of the British public and I don't think either of them are capable of taking advice on how to behave in order for this to happen.
