Will they stay at Royal Lodge? I really hope it all works out for KC and to see his grandchildren would be lovely.

Harry is wearing a baby blue linen shirt and a black 'Invictus Australia' baseball cap. Meghan is wearing a darker blue and white striped shirt.

I read Meghaan and kids might not come. Unhappy with the security funding.

I’m not sure they are taking their calls, either.

True.

now we are talking lies

It's just the fabric of their communication now.

Whosthetabbynow · 28/06/2026 14:58

I don’t believe her and the kids were ever coming. More play-acting. She wouldn’t come to the UK. She doesn’t even see her own father. Just loved the drama. All eyes on me. Again.

the80sweregreat · 28/06/2026 15:23

Meghan’s dad lives a drive away and she doesn’t reach out to him at all.
I don’t really hate either of them as never met them , but all this hoo ha is just nonsense. The King is worth millions, he can afford a few security guards and cars I’m sure. If he wanted to see them he’d sort it out and not have all this.

Yes, those points about KC and security have already been answered.

LIES! ALL LIES I TELL YOU!

Do you have any proof of the lies, if not that means you’re lying about the lies.

My guess is they want the enhanced security to ensure the children are not seen by tabloids, for fear of losing the big "reveal" paycheck

I don’t think he can hire RAVEC either, plus it’s wrong to cowtow to Harry and Meghan who are just angry they’re not important or at risk on the eyes of anyone else except themselves. They just want it for glamour and PR as well as elevation when in fact they’re not at risk, they don’t work as royals and they’re not entitled to it

They can’t avoid their faces being seen unless they wear a mask!

Nobody is paying big money for those children's photos. It's not 2005 and they're not Brangelina. Besides, the kids are 5 and 7. Way too old for 'first look' photos.

And if they were so keen to avoid having the children's photographs taken, why all the leaks about their 'itinerary'? They could have just come over quietly and noone would have been any the wiser. They would have been whisked off the plane straight to some royal residence without any 'paps' getting near them. In any case, 'paps' don't really exist like they used to and certainly aren't going to publish photos of royal children without consent.

Last i heard meghans dad had surgery and she was trying to find him to write him a letter? His hospital was literally splashed all over the Internet i dont believe he ever got a letter from her

Theunamedcat · 28/06/2026 18:19

They will get security we know they will they know they will its just excuses at this point

Oh yes he did. It was delivered by a senior consulate official and he was video-recorded receiving it while in his hospital bed. Very shocking way to treat an elderly man.

Did a US official not deliver a letter which he had to sign for ?

W&C and the children must be out and about all the time. I can’t imagine they just sit at home and eat dinner every night, you clearly can move around without being seen if you don’t want to be.

I've just read that substack.

Sykes is hissing mad. He has been championing "Megxsin" - very recently arguing that the king was damn-well going to have the Sussexes back in, regardless of what W , the media or the population of the UK thought, and the up-coming visit was proof of that.

Never mind blowing up chances of reconciliation with his dad, H has blown up a relationship with an important ally.

On another aspect of all this, I think in retrospect, we'll see that BP have played a blinder again. They have said very little officially - only confirming that the King has a standing offer to H to stay in a royal residence, and denying that the King had offered to pay for beefed-up security on this visit. Other than that, they've let the Sussex PR knock themselves out with ever-more detailed claims and statements, which they're now rowing back on.

Read it also. Scathing. Completely. And none to blame but themselves, I doubt they care and they will blame everyone else.

They won’t be happy till the RF are overthrown and what they don’t realise if that happens, then their titles go also.

Harry must be seething tonight. His petulance around ‘security’ brought into sharp relief by news that Catherine did the 3 peak-24hr challenge without any publicity until it was done - and related to Marsden fundraising opportunity

No publicity, no fuss, no high profile security. No "poor me, what a terrible life!"
Just pushing through.
