Are the bets on or off for an invite to Balmoral?
Will Meghan bake a humble pie for Catherine?
Let’s discuss……!

The DM story is by Rebecca English, so she probably had it confirmed by Buckingham Palace press office.

And how are they making a living ? I think we all know it's a step towards a royal role because they have absolutely nothing else to offer

No chance . Absolutely no way William will allow that and not should he after the way HAM have behaved .

AutumnCrowsMusings · 19/08/2026 22:28

What’s being said in Sugarland?! Can’t wait for the convoluted explanation for this one.

ABitFab · 19/08/2026 22:28

Australia 🇦🇺 news is reporting the same.
Run out of options in American have we HAM?

Tallullahmakata · 19/08/2026 22:29

I have lurked for 20 odd threads and this has blown my mind. Why oh why? Money? Is she playing the, "I tried everything to help him including moving countries." I honestly thought the BBC news anchor was going to say divorce.
Well...

DaisyDooley · 19/08/2026 22:29

Jesus wept.
Didnt see that coming - and didn’t want to.
They must be much more brassic that we thought.
They only informed the King on Sunday??
What a pair of grifting bastards. I couldn’t dislike them more. I hope they get booed wherever they go.
This is not a good look for the RF as they will cause havoc and mayhem.

AutumnCrowsMusings · 19/08/2026 22:30

So, with tails between legs, here they come.

Did Harry’s visa go tits up?

Mylovelygreendress · 19/08/2026 22:30

I just read one comment on X saying that they are coming back because KC begged them to as he has no faith in W and C .

Will they have learnt anything at all from the way this has all played out and keep their heads down? I seriously doubt it. How long before they move on again to Portugal or back to Canada?

bluegreygreen · 19/08/2026 22:31

They don't believe in giving their family much notice, do they?

King Charles was only informed by his son on Sunday that he plans to move back to the UK later this month.
And it is understood that while he ‘welcomes’ the chance to see Harry and his family in a private and personal capacity, the King is clear that there will be ‘no alteration’ to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s role and status as private individuals and non working members of the Royal Family in keeping with their ‘clearly expressed wishes and agreement over past years’.

Either running away from something
Bankrupt
or “conscious uncoupling “

Kirschcherries · 19/08/2026 22:31

Poor W & C.

This is a real volte face from H&M and has a reek of a knee jerk reaction rather than a well planned change. They must be desperate.

From Sky News KC only found out at the weekend and H&M are funding it.

I hope KC doesn’t allow HIHO but based on past behaviour I think they are going to push and push.

MyDogClive · 19/08/2026 22:31

So have they
a) run out of money
b) got a problem with Harry’s visa
c) suddenly fallen back in love with the UK (as if)

Well that’s a bag of lies. I do not believe that for a nanosecond.

Remmin · 19/08/2026 22:32

Well, I guess this is one way for them to try to bury the ANL costs announcement which us due out this week.

Irememberwhenitwasallfieldsroundhere · 19/08/2026 22:32

Remmin · 19/08/2026 22:27

Oh fuck no.

I don't mind laughing at their antics when they're several thousand miles away, but I really don't want them poncing about over here.

I feel the same

HAM, JUST FUCK OFF ALREADY!

They are literally bulldozing to be half in half out, hopefully William will put a stop to it.

Meg is Californian to the bone. She won't settle in UK. Divorce is imminent IMO

ComePlayMyTrombolise · 19/08/2026 22:33

Meghan has a very small window of opportunity to monetise the full face pictures of the Hamlets before they come over as it will be hard to keep them out of the press.

ABitFab · 19/08/2026 22:33

If they ever return to the Royal family that's the end of it for me.

I'm dual citizen and will happily give up the uk part.

MyDogClive · 19/08/2026 22:31

a) run out of money

Combination of a) and b).

A&B. The sheer arrogance after everything they said about Britain

Agreed

I really feel for W&C

What can William do? I feel for him and C

bluegreygreen · 19/08/2026 22:35

Harry and Meghan are set to retain their £11million home in Monecito, California, which they have lived in since moving across the pond in 2020. They also still own a residence in Portugal.

Also the first confirmation that they do actually own a property in Portugal.
