I think he's going cap in hand to ask for money. I really hope he's not got the nerve to ask to come back!

What a weird clapback from Harry.

which reports is he claiming are false - presumably just the most recent one of the “formal” meeting with the King, not the previous one (from his camp) of the hugs and tears reunion?

Why the need to “correct” the claim about the picture and saying it didn’t have he and Meghan in it - does that matter in any way?!

Also in what way would this sabotage the reconciliation between him and his father? It doesn’t make sense to me

It is very strange. I feel he’s trying to spin a narrative that the meeting went really well but now someone is trying to plant stories downplaying how well it went. I personally think the meeting wasn’t that significant. He arrived at Clarence House and left after 50 minutes. Given the size of the place, he likely only spent 40 minutes with dad at most. That’s nothing after not seeing each other for about 18 months, especially considering W and KCIII spent a couple of nights having alone time at Balmoral this week.

I agree. I don't think this meeting was of any great significance.

Father and son probably met for not much more than half an hour, which is nothing considering they hadn't met in nearly two years. It's also quite likely they were not alone at least some of that time. My guess is that it was a rather awkward encounter involving a lot of bland small talk, as Charles knows his son is a loose canon. As indeed has been shown once again these past few weeks.

Given all that's gone down these past 5 years, a genuine reconciliation is going to take a lot more than a few brief meetings.

I don’t find it weird, I find it to be expected.

I said uo thread I thought Harry and Megan had been leaking since the meeting, basically aiming for a half in half out, and trying to position themselves publicly for that, (again, sigh), and this was the palace shutting it down.

So Harry getting pissed off that his narrative of his kids going to school here, seeing his dad regularly, going to do a public engagement with him, has now been quietly shut down and Harry’ reaction confirms it to me that’s exactly what’s happened.

as is the fact they were right on thr photo being handed over, the fact him and Megan weren’t in it is irrelevant, someone could have said family photo or made an assumption they were in it, but the fact a photo was handed over confirms this as a true story to me, and the palace is putting a stop to Harry and Megan trying to leverage Charles to get half in half out.

so this is just the palace reconfirming that Harry and Megan are not getting half in half out as they’ve been trying to position themselves since the meeting, as they’ve no way of earning now in the USA. As Harry and Megan have been drip feeding that to the media since the meeting to try to position themselves.

it also tells us Harry is as paranoid as ever, this isn’t anyone trying to sabotage his reconciliation with Charles, this is them saying no half in half out, and stop using it as a way to get back in, half in half out is not happening.

MrsLeonFarrell · 27/09/2025 17:44

Harry would have a much calmer life if he stopped making statements about everything. In the grand scheme of things does it matter who the photo was of? He may not have leaked the contents of the meeting but he can't seem to stop himself releasing statements about it.

Talltreesbythelake · 27/09/2025 17:50

He didn't manage a statement when his Pa and his SIL were being called the Royal racists. His lips are still sealed on that.

Indeed . Nor when the “ where’s Kate” hysteria was happening plus the horrendous bullying of her by the Squad .

SaratogaFilly · 27/09/2025 18:40

Agreed @Mylovelygreendress& @Talltreesbythelake

Letmeoutodhere · 27/09/2025 18:45

Has anyone considered that he and Meghan may be planning to live separate lives? He may want his kids to come to school here and he wants to live in a Royal property with free security. Just floating the idea.

Presumably because it suited him for them to be damaged?

I thought this would be another "sources" job but I was wrong, and it seems Harry only objects when he's the one who perceives there's an attack.
No point in asking what happened to him keeping quiet about the meeting though ... I doubt many really expected he would

Yes I have wondered if he is planning an exit strategy. I have to say, as someone who settled in her dh’s country, I was happy with my choice, before I actually had children, until I realised how different my
dc’s upbringing was going to be to my own and then I really wanted to return home to the UK. Maybe H is thinking the same way.

Given how things have turned out it seems a natural thing to wonder about, though of course that's very different to wishing it on them

I'm surprised at the speculation about the DCs being educated in he UK though ... what makes anyone think Meghan would allow Harry to take them out of the country on his own?

Mylovelygreendress · 27/09/2025 20:08

Would American law forbid it ? Sorry , i honestly don’t know.

If he's so desperate to reconcile with Charles, then why not meet with him on the down low? We all know royals can manage to do things quietly when they want. He could easily fly in 1st class and be whisked off the plane directly to any number of secured royal estates. Then there would be nothing to 'sabotage'.

But instead he chooses to rock up at the public entrance to Clarence House, in the heart of London, with photographers camped outside. You'd almost think he wanted the eevil 'British media' to know all about the meeting.

Exactly - he could fly directly to Balmoral or visit Highgrove quietly without anyone being the wiser. But publicising his contacts with Charles seems more important than actually having the the contact.

He would not be able to do it without Meghan's agreement

jamnpancakes · 27/09/2025 20:58

Harry just can't stop can he? Two steps forward and 12 back. Him and his big ego.

I don’t wish them to separate but if they do I can foresee Meghan blaming the RF , racism and everything to do with the U.K. ( whilst hanging on to her title )

Brightlittlecanary · 27/09/2025 22:31

At this time I don’t think this is about Harry and Megan seperating, I think this is a last Hail Mary, they are trying again for the half in half out, as they need that to make money, clearly the palace has put a stop to the leaks they are putting out and said it’s not happening. And rightly so. I imagine Harry thinks palace officials or his brother has put a stop to it, but Charles will be the one not allowing Harry to use him like that. Harry did the same with the queen, made out she was some hapless individual that was at the mercy of others. It’s obviously not true.

however as this is going to fail, and Harry and Megan have no way of making money mow, they’ve failed at everything, Netflix and Spotify are out, then i could see them splitting, sadly, Megan will have no use for him,

but I think the British public overall will be relieved that they still can’t monetise being royal. Not officially.

harry said someone’s trying to stop him reconciling with his father, whay he means is someone’s trying to stop him using his father so he can get half in half out and make money. The person stopping that is his father, who must be very saddened indeed by Harry;s behaviour, and these appalling leaks over the last few weeks they’ve been placing about coming back and then doing public engagements with Charles.

They have stated they do not want to come back to the UK to live here so why do you even need to speculate or wonder? There was a recent media article about the kids going to school jerry and that was proven false too.

If he wants to reconcile with his father for a father son relationship thats between them. That doesn't mean he wants to split up with his wife and move back.

QueenOfHertz · 28/09/2025 00:12

How do you know that @Spectre8 ?

Thedom · 28/09/2025 07:15

Harry’s at it again, giving more statements and information to the media. He legitimizes everything said about him, because very few believe his public protests and exaggerations, Just more fodder to keep himself in the media. He is a grown up ‘tattle tale’

Good point, hadn’t considered that.

Have seen a few more snippets of her interview wearing the yellow dress, my god, she is absolutely insufferable and so unlikeable, not a scrap of personality.

prelovedusername · 28/09/2025 07:29

I don’t believe fully separate lives are on the cards but I do think Harry is belatedly trying to assert his independence. He may naively hope to get his own way in some areas but they will only be areas where Meghan Markle has no interest. That’s unlikely to include the children’s education.
