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

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

If that was the case surely she would insist on staying in California where she has more rights?

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.

Why retain it ? If they are now going to live in UK. Makes no sense

Did Martha Stewart banish her 🤣

DancingFerret · 19/08/2026 22:37

Once again, it's those "sources" who say they're moving back. I'm inclined to wait and see what September brings.

To rent it out maybe? Got to make some money somewhere!

The visa problem sounds about right.

Did not see that coming AT ALL.

They will be doing every charity gig they can get an invite to, this is how they are forcing their way back into Royal public life.

Guess all the speculation about how their American dream had collapsed was right on the button.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 19/08/2026 22:39

For fuck's sake.

So... their kids are starting school here in September?

A fortnight or so after moving continents with no notice, away from the only place they remember living in? To the country that was so dangerous that - only last month - their parents were on-and-off about taking them there for a few days, because of "security"?

Well, that's certainly going to give them a stable happy childhood with no anxiety issues.

Starryfifty · 19/08/2026 22:41

My theory, for what it's worth 😂 they are going to try and raise their popularity in UK. Work on their image. Will spin it that they want to see more of darling Pa and him seeing the hamlets. But their ultimate goal is a role in the RF. They don't have anything else to offer. Everything has failed. Cookie queens was the final straw

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

Neither do I but it’s an example of what we are going to hear from the supporters .

KittyHigham · 19/08/2026 22:46

So, having just released the news that H has a successful blueprint for coming to the UK every few months (🤔), it turns out the kids are already enrolled in schools and the whole family will be arriving imminently. You couldn't make it up.

Just the fact that inevitably people are making a link with KC's health makes this decision unforgivable!

bluegreygreen · 19/08/2026 22:46

The DM breaking news page has now been updated with the old bullying story and with a new spin on Meghan having fallen out with everyone in the US.

Thedom · 19/08/2026 22:47

The fans are claiming it’s a humanitarian relocation because Charles doesn’t have much time left, and the RF are close to announcing a european style monarchy where the kids can only remain in the LOS if they are raised and educated in the UK.

Middlemarch123 · 19/08/2026 22:48

I think the marriage is on the rocks.

From Harry’s perspective he’s building bridges with his ailing father, who I think genuinely loves his boys. When Harry is the Harry of old, he has a lot of humour, and his late mother’s empathy. Don’t flame me, but I think the Diana legacy lives on in him. We saw glimpses of this on his visit last month. The public, a lot of them, certainly enough of them, remember a little boy, head bowed following his mother’s coffin. They will forgive Harry. He knows this.

From Meghan’s perspective, she is clinging on because being ‘royal’ without the duties was her aim from the start. I think he decided to return a long time ago. With or without her. He’s the son of the existing monarch. His royalty is what attracted her in the first place. Now she has to return or be alone. She’s caught between a rock and a hard place.

They will separate and divorce in the UK. She will be cast aside.

And Harry? Who knows. But even if he doesn’t return to his place in the country’s affections, he’ll be in a better place than he is now.

Ah of course that makes sense.

Which shows how mercenary their motives are

JSMill · 19/08/2026 22:51

A lot of people on this thread speculated that they would enroll their dcs in a British school. Their California dream is over. M is clinging on to H like a limpet. I wonder where they will be living and what school they have enrolled them in. Oh wait! I thought it was too dangerous for them to go to school in the UK because they would be swarmed with paparazzi 🤨.

KatherineParr · 19/08/2026 22:51

I have no words. What about the freedom flight?

How long has this been in train for if the kids are already registered at school?

I disagree with you regarding H. He has proven himself to be a vicious liar. A nasty, spiteful man. I guess Meg has no choice. She'll cling on by her fingernails but she won't leave her kids in the UK

JSMill · 19/08/2026 22:52

These threads I meant.

thenightsky · 19/08/2026 22:53

It says they are moving back for an 'extended period' not forever. I reckon visa issues that need sorting and KC's illness and life span.
