But they do have an effect on my life. They are bring me huge laughs day in day out. They are a self perpetuating pantomime. Everyday they deliver some nonsense. It’s so entertaining to watch this pompous, grandiose and delusional pair of grifters inadvertently piss on their own chips.

I agree. I cannot work out if their behaviour is performance art or genuinely daft. Why did M go to the Bond party in an old sweater and a long skirt when everyone else was in thousands of dollars of couture? We know she has ballgowns as she wears them for wafting around her garden and going to the flicks.

ThePoshUns · 13/01/2026 16:30

I agree they are endlessly entertaining, even if they don’t intend to be!

I think the earliest Meghan would be back in the UK is Invictus next year, assuming nothing happens to Charles.

You think Meghan would come to Charles's funeral? I doubt it.

Will Duchess Meghan return to the UK this year?

Are you good? Bit harsh for a simple question.

I'm good and I feel exactly the same way
If she came, I don't think that she would get a warm reception
But she's got a lot of front, and would come if it worked to her advantage; American plan doesn't seem to be working well

I think she do the added brand value calculation though of whether KC3 opening IG would take the limelight from her - or would the royal adjacency make up for it?

I don’t think that the RF would be wise the play this right up to the wire - make no comment or commitment that M&H can exploit. Keep them on their toes. Maybe insist it’s a family affair and that W&C have the give out the prizes (not in flip flops and floppy creased shorts tho).

In all reality tho any sensible institution or brand would not sully themselves with any association.

I agree. I’m often really grateful to the pair of them for giving me a good laugh with their antics.
I love how their nasty, whiney narcissism has backfired.
We don’t like it in the UK and even the US home of self indulgent therapy speak is fed up with them now too.
So rare in life that anyone gets just what they deserve so it’s quite satisfying to watch.

mummygranny · 13/01/2026 17:38

Surly not …. she will not be welcome … not good publicity for her to be in UK

In a nutshell.

But what about the drama? They have to have drama!

Justdancevance · 13/01/2026 17:44

I find their antics funny. William wants a professional RF but the pair of them seem to want a soap opera full of drama.

They seem to have the memories of goldfishes and the attention span of toddlers.

Meghan will come if she can charge an expensive new wardrobe to IG and travel A+++ .

threesocksmorgan · 13/01/2026 16:07

bit like Princess Catherine. she doesn't exist either.

I know, hence I've never called the Princess of Wales that.
Maybe you should attempt to educate someone who needs your advice.

LaMarschallin · 13/01/2026 18:57

PS
Should have added that Queen Catherine will exist, of course.

Dabralor · 13/01/2026 19:00

Don’t know
Don’t care

Dabralor might also visit places during 2026- I imagine that Meghan and Harry also:
Don’t know
Don’t care

If they do come, all the haterz will wet themselves with excitement and type furiously and gleefully into their silly chatrooms aaaaall summer long.

Tontostitis · 13/01/2026 19:01

She's been loudly booed by the public, scarfed by William, body blocked by Sophie, candled by the BBC and keep in a posh holding pen last time she made it to Heathrow I'm doubtful she's even allowed in the country tbh and she's not really likely to even want to come is she?

Tontostitis · 13/01/2026 19:05

Thedom · 13/01/2026 12:53

Must be a huge dilemma for her, Invictus looming and knowing how much she loves being the face and spokesperson for Invictus games versus visiting a country and in-laws whom she loathes.

Their pride must be hugely dented, so much effort to try to present a semblance of a thaw in their family relations, all one sided PR.

Didn't she get sent home early from her last Invictus jaunt?

LaMarschallin · 13/01/2026 19:06

You can’t be that naive as to how the MSM works??
Every ‘story’ about them has the cold, dead, hand of Meghan and the PR team behind it.
They pay (especially People magazine) to keep their names adjacent to the Royal Family.
She pays paparazzi to ‘catch her’ living a fabulous life in California.
I’ve never come across anyone so thirsty for attention.

I spend a lot of time over there, and they seem fairly quiet.

The appetite for will they/won't they etc seems to be UK side. The sheer volume written about them is bonkers.

Whereas over there, they are not really a feature of the daily round up, at least not that I have seen.

But, I suppose, the main bones of the story is here - monarchy and all that.

I was going to say feathered by Princess Anne but that was Harry.

ThePoshUns · 13/01/2026 20:24

Loved that hat!

MrsLeonFarrell · 13/01/2026 20:31

I don't know whether Meghan will come to the UK in 2026. I do know that the tabloids will make a fortune speculating about it.

She certainly left early.
There were stories that she roundly berated a customs official on her return to LA as he did not address her properly ( in her opinion).

Tiddlywinky · 13/01/2026 21:16

Nope

Oh yes - I remember reading about that. IIRC she flew an odd route home from Canada entering the US through a different airport - Perhaps Sacramento or Seattle I think. She berated a passport control officer for calling her Meghan Markle - coz she's the Duchess of Sussex dontcha know .... until the passport guy pointed out she was using a passport in the name of Meghan Markle and asked her if she was in possession of other passports and/or documents with different identities and names.....

NormasArse · 14/01/2026 00:36

Seriously- the whole royal family can fade into non existence as far as most people are concerned. They may be frightfully nice, but they are irrelevant now, and could retire very well on what they already have (unlike some of us).

Meghan and Harry also. They both have skills- let them use them… preferably quietly.

notimagain · 14/01/2026 09:09

@Lunde

Seattle.

The route was logical enough - Like many airports in the US Santa Barbara doesn't have customs/immigration facilities so the flight from Canada had to route through a suitably equipped airport for border processing before heading to SBA...

Laiste · 14/01/2026 09:22

Who, from the family, is going to want to sit in a room with either of them and have a chat?

Id be sitting there the whole time afraid to open my mouth in case all my words (and some i didn't even say) are being gathered for the next book!

Reconciliation my arse.
