GBNews are reporting that Harry and Megan are moving back to the UK at the end of August.

I won't believe it until I hear it on the BBC.

I think it's wait and see what is turns out to be.

It could be a kite flying exercise - they put out she here for work and see if any offers come in for all any of us know.

But if she can get work that helps support them - not a bad thing IMO.

Two TV shows I saw her in while she wasn't doing deep acting - she was fine and memorable and not in her underware opening cases.

I think her acting career was moderately successful and coming to a natural end when she headed to UK to husband hunt -- doesn't mean she can't resurrect some kind of career - especially if there some financial pressure on her to do so.

I think it would be better for everyone if they were occupied with work rather than obessesing on how to one up in the press.

It would be fun if she was brilliant in some amazing West End play. Or if she got a really over the top part in Eastenders and everybody loved it coz she was so funny in a tongue in cheek role. Imagine her strutting into the Queen Vic with a fag in her mouth, meeting up with some hard cases and planning a ribbery like something out of Widows. It would be pure gold and would resurrect her image immediately. Everybody would embrace her and love her..

Was it not reported that she had acting offers flooding in after her cameo appearance in a film?

Seems a bit drastic to move lock stock and barrel back to the UK to fit in with relatives, though. Why don’t they just holiday over here with them? They have been on permanent invite to Balmoral since they got married. I would have thought that would be enough for them to get to know the mores of the RF. Not sure why they need to go to school here 🤷‍♀️

I bet they want the kids to sound posh for starters. They'll also want to get their grubby feet under the table ready for poor KC's demise so they are in the right place to be seen as royals. They'll be getting egged on by Charles Spencer who will be like some kind of Simon Cowell promoter trying desperately to make them popular and increase his book sales in the process.

It's all so tacky and grim. You know they'll be pushing for appearances, patronages and money. Rictus grinning for all they're worth. Poor William, wonder how on earth he'll play this.

The people managing Will and Kate’s diaries are going to have a load of extra work now doing everything to make sure they do not have to cross paths with H&M.

Bombarded with offers and flooded with proposals, apparently 🤷‍♀️.
One agent said he’d not seen such demand in his 30 years in the business 🤷‍♀️

Page Six article from April 2026:

archive.ph/wTg8F

Meghan Markle has been “bombarded” with work offers following a former co-star’s revelation she is planning a return to acting.

”Meghan has been the hottest talking point in Hollywood circles in the last couple of weeks,” the agent claimed. The very suggestion that she is planning to come back to acting has prompted interest the likes I have never seen in my three decades in the business.”
“Offers for leading roles and development proposals have flooded in,” our insider continued.

Surely she'd have been better placed to do that when living down the road from Hollywood?

That's what I don't get. 6 years in California and nothing, hoping to get acting jobs in the UK? Strange..

Just read Jan Moir’s article on “the return” in the Mail online. I found it quite funny.

Well said, couldn't agree more.

I understand she has had numerous high end Hollywood agencies pitching for her for years WME etc - no bites.

Why does she think it'll be easier in the UK?

They own the house.

Do they?

Noodledog · 21/08/2026 16:34

It's obvious the only reason MM is returning to the UK is because she has zero other options available. She hated living in the UK, and she hates the UK generally. And now she's returning to a draughty old house in the countryside with the winter coming? A good six months of rain, grey skies and muddy walks, she's really going to be in her element 😁

@IcedPurple And why was Britain so very dangerous just a few months ago, but is apparently perfectly fine now?

I'd like an answer to that as well !

In the book Endgame, released last year, author Omid Scobie revealed that the Duchess of Sussex "never felt at home" in the U.K. and "never wants to set foot again in England."

Seems that's changed. Maybe it's something to do with the jam ?!

And only a weeks ago she did an overnight change of schedule from announcing accompanying her DH on public and private engagements in UK to totally flouncing. Then on her return to Cali reflected that she felt ‘humiliated and sidelined’ by KC3.

So overnight security now isnt an issue for her and her precious DCs and the hated Salty Island that was impossible to do a public appearance in and left her humiliated and sidelined - is now their new family home …… as all the papers are saying “more to come…..”

Benjithedog · 21/08/2026 16:31

Do they?

We can’t know for certain but I think odds are good they do. They allegedly bought off plan in Nov 24 for $4.7 mil - affordable for them.

The talk is of them ‘retaining’ property here too.

The key line from their announcement tho was that MM would be managing her businesses from their international residences. She will not be in the UK anymore than a few weeks to settle the kids in school - she will be in Cali where they come to her for the long school holidays and then she will park herself in Portugal to have them for half terms. I will eat flower sprinkles if she immerses herself in Cotswold life. Shes dropping the defective PH back with his family to care for and shes skipping back off to Montechito and changing the locks. Not sure if the penny has dropped for PH yet tho.

If she cured Cancer and brought about World Peace she would still be hated on MN/in the Press.

Are there any rumours about which school they'll attend? If they want them to sound posh I'm guessing it won't be the local primary.

Have you been to Portugal in the middle of winter? 😁And presumably H, L and A will be in the UK, so it would be a bit odd.

How confident are you on above? It’s what I’d do if I hoped for an amicable separation on my own terms. Kids can board full time aged 8/9.

I dont think Harry realises that potentially this is what a separation would look like..although if Meghan swans off to live alone abroad and leaves Harry and the kids in the UK then effectively their marriage would be over.

Surely if that happens then the penny will drop for him. Sadly with the amount of time that Harry and Meghan have spent globetrotting and leaving the children in the US with the nanny, the kids are probably largely used to being away from their parents for very extended periods. I actually wonder how present either of them have been in their childrens lives.

Tom Sykes mentioned Beaudesert when interviewed yesterday...quite how accurate this is remains to be seen

Clearly Hollywood didn’t want her so it’s Pinewood Studios next?
I would love to know what really has forced them to move back to s country they both hated, felt they were very unsafe in and where their despised family live.
All very weird.
