I don't think she will ever return to acting. She is very third rate anyway and is much older now. I think she knows she isn't a good actress and wouldn't want o lower herself to audition etc now she's a Duchess. Her hope will be a large divorce settlement, but if H has no money that won't happen unless Pa sorts something out.

Also, lets be honest about the kind of "acting" she was doing. It was eye candy stuff. She was prepared to hoik up her boobs and her down to her pants. Shakespeare it wasn't! There's an expiry date on all of that.

Imagine an mn post:
"My fiance has no friends, doesn't speak to any of their family and tells really obvious silly lies. They hate my family, especially my sister in law who has always been very kind to me...should I get married to them?"
Poster would have been told to run for the hills 🤷‍♀️

She will want to keep her title so might not hold the cards she thinks she does .

Just checking in

Am on holiday just now, so trying to keep up with all the nonsense when I get WiFi.

I don't think we can guess the outcome of the ANL case just because Harry is in the UK. The IG event has been set for months and months - we always knew HamDram would be here for that on these dates.

The judgement was going to be released anytime before September really, it's just a fluke it coincides.

Having followed the case I'd be surprised if HamDram wins, but who knows.

Keep me posted guys!!!

@Passingthrough123 I don't know about a divorce but I see your point. Re " I also think she'll thrive outside of the marriage, because she'll be free to return to acting, revive The Tig or do anything else she wants." couldn't she do this anyway? She seems to me to be pretty much doing what she wants at the moment.

BUT didn’t H say that W and C were star struck when they met Meghan ?? And the family couldn’t believe he had landed such a hot girlfriend.
Hilarious when you think back .

Mylovelygreendress · 06/07/2026 23:25

It wouldn’t surprise me if there is some sort of catastrophic car chase incident is arranged this week so that H can say “ I told you so.”

I really think consciously or unconsciously (surely the latter) that harry has some sort of death wish. I think he is definitely is trying to recreate his Mother's life to some extent, and her eventual demise. I think he is deeply disturbed actually, paranoid and delusional. The more time he has no his hands to ruminate , seethe and feed his victim mentality, the worse he becomes. He has very little which is positive or meaningful now to focus on .

I actually liked her in Suits, and Suits was a great drama!

She could do so much more commercially though, like adverts (many brands would still sign her) and paid interviews. She doesn't, because she knows she's got to walk a fine line while they're still married.

Whatever Suits was like, her role relied on her looks. Unfortunately, she won't get a role like that now, the industry is very ageist.

Rebecca English outlines the BP fiasco. (Apologies if this has alredy been posted.)

It seems the Sussexes, or more likely Markle, are still trying to make as much mileage as possible out of H's visit by stating she and the children might join him later in the week.

Paid advertising using the children.

Exactly! , if they divorce all Harry has to do is relinquish his Sussex title and hers would go too! He would remain prince Harry , Andrew and Sarah were amicable in their divorce, that made all the difference.

He doesn’t like being told No does he.

put simply if he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t need to come.

I do it purely to be able to represent the Red Army at the breakfast buffet (& the rosé and cocktails). 😋

Her career as a B list cable TV actress was already over when she washed up on our shores. I think when she came over it was probably with the idea of netting a footballer/golfer or reality TV gig.

They are not "naice" HAM!

FallenNight · 07/07/2026 09:44

The whole will they wont they must be very disruptive for the kids.

Mine (who are neurotypical so have not specific needs aside from every other neurotypical child) need to know in advance everything that we are doing. We look at the calendar when we turn it over at the beginning of the month and will talk about the plans/events for the month, then the week, then again on the day what we are doing, where we are gong, any changes to routine, who will be at school events etc. Any changes or surprises and they are knocked for six. A short notice trip to England to meet Grandad, or a short notice trip to England to meet Grandad cancelled would really, really unsettle them.

Also, are they not in school?

ABitFab · 07/07/2026 09:46

We should have put her on love island and seen how that went!!😝

Tbf the way she calls herself “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” is already the way a divorced duchess would be styled, so an actual divorce wouldn’t make any difference!

Maybe that’s why she does it - perhaps it’s not ignorance of British title etiquette, it was future-proofing all along…

Very true! She was on the hunt for a rich man and an upgrade.
The late Queen suggested that she continued acting, which horrified her and Harry! So it was just a vehicle for self promotion.

What happens if they run out of money to finance their lifestyle? It must be such a lot to just live the way they do. Will KC step in? Or will he step in but with conditions? It seems like they are on an increasingly desperate search for income sources. While pretending to be all about charity.
