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.

They are out of options in the US. In the UK they can set the the kids up as 'rivals' to the Wales children and capitalise on that. Im sure we will see their faces revealed shortly, probably at the same time as some other royal occasion so that it can be upstaged 🙄

IMHO, George's first day at Eton will be the day HaM execute the face reveal...

If they're not popular, why do the media keep mentioning them.with hashtags in royal stories on social media even if it's nothing to do with them?!
Can't remember what article it was in but I saw they were tagged in a Kate and William story the other week even though they were completely unrelated.
Edited to add they (as in the media in case it needs spelling out) must just want the clicks and engagement.

Edited

They mention trump too... And Putin eyc
H&M are of national interest... Doesn't mean they're popular.

come on then. How else can you explain the vitriol that woman faced in this country? It was so embarrassing. And don’t say, she went on Oprah etc. That was after she was treated horribly by British media. Have you conveniently forgotten all the unfair comparisons to Kate? The Daily Mail’s unbridled obsession with her?

Because she's a woman.

They're running out of money, allegedly reportedly.

Pullie · Today 04:05

I think it’s crazy people think the move has anything to do with Charles’ illness. It’s clear Americans don’t really care about them, their ventures or royalty in general. This is purely a financial decision. They have no relevance outside the UK. I think H and M probably worry about Archie and Lilibet’s future. Don’t really see Americans being interested in them the way Brits will be.

This’ll send the obsessive maniacs over on the constant H&M threads into conniptions!

Im not a fan of H&M but their fixation is batshit crazy.

The BBC article online I think says they are keeping Montecito.

Wouldn't have thought that would make much financial sense. If they want to keep a base in California they could do it much more cheaply.

The house at Montecito is estimated to be worth $29 million. Upkeep must be a fortune.

I thought they left because they wanted privacy. Odd decision to make because they know they’ll never get privacy here but maybe that’s the plan because the money and interest in them is drying up in America.

None of us know them.

Good for them. I hope they take it by storm and show will and Kate what it means to be a popular figure.

Eh?? Surely sarcasm, no?

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to deny there aren't racisists out there at all because there are

But equally I dont want be accused of it because I (from what I've seen and heard over years) do not like her, just because her heritage is different mine

Think that's fair enough

Agree - two things can be true here. Meghan was subject to some racist coverage and also is a bit of a dick.

JustMyView13 · Today 05:07

Why any parent would actively chose to send their children to school in the US, where school shootings are a widely tolerated risk, is beyond me. Their presence here won’t impact any of our lives. They deserve a peaceful and happy life just as anyone does.

sweetgingercat · Today 05:21

They need to get back through that royal door while Charles is still alive, or else it will be closed against them forever.

Nice for Charles and the kids

FortnamsTea · Today 05:22

@JustMyView13 Indeed. Good for the children. Nice for KC3 & Harry to have time while they can.

Did H. ever get that USA Visa?

😂 😂 😂

Didn't he just spend years saying it was too dangerous for his family to live in UK??

Last year he couldn't see a world in which he could bring his family here. Early this year he wasn't sure he could even manage his wife visiting for a few days. August this year, so much has changed he will settle here. At least for an extended time.
Could be changes in security due to Burnham. Could be the heatwave. Could be the Diana 30th anniversary (for love or money or both). But things have suddenly changed. Dramatically!
Goodluck to them. They are braver than I thought

The obsession is wild. Which is why this move is batshit crazy. 6 years is just about the start of the settling. They will be hounded here. Am genuinely worried for their mental health. What in the name of Beelzebub are they thinking?!?! Also I hope everyone incl the Royal household and the media will do some self reflection and do better. Sadly I think social media is wilder. Racists are more emboldened. And a few of their friends might be more cautious with them. Crazy, ill advised move.

I hope so but doubt. Then there is social media. I hope family is kinder to them. Its a crazy move. Its not good for any of those four

Pullie · Today 05:43

As a poc I do think it’s a bit of a cheek to come back after slagging Brits off as racist (Britain is by far one of the least racist countries ime). Meghan is just incredibly unlikeable and comes across as fake. The fact they conflated this with racism is frankly embarrassing!

Harry and Megan weren’t very kind to the Queen and the rest of the Royal family with that ridiculous Oprah interview.

ilovepuppies2019 · Today 05:48

I can't believe it. I don't understand why Meghan would to do this. They have to be nearly broke or they believe that William will imminently become King as they will be left with nothing (or both). I just can't picture any other motivation being strong enough. Meghan clearly hated her time in the UK. The move will radically reduce her options in Hollywood and as an influencer / lifestyle seller in the US market. The entire point of her jam was that it was made in the American Riviera. That's a much harder product to sell from the UK. What's she going to do here?

I know people are saying that they want a UK education for their children but I really doubt that that motivation is strong enough to lead to this move. The US will have good schools and a wide range of options for University. Uni matters much more than the primary school that you attend.

I'm absolutely shocked.

They court publicity and due to suing so many papers (and found to be lying) there isn't much love there.

In addition they behave badly, the USA press turned on them for being disaster tourists. They will do anything for attention but scream when the attention isn't to their liking.

They could have a private life but they don't want it.

Pipsquiggle · Today 05:55

I don't know them. As a young family I wish them well.
Nearly every decision they've made has ostracized the UK so it's an 'interesting' that they are moving back. I suspect finances will be behind it.

I do feel that they have been badly advised all the way through, from wanting to become part time royals (was never going to happen), the TV interviews, the book, the lifestyle brand - all have been poor, short-term decisions.

Pullie · Today 05:59

I thought they made an absolute mint off Spare and the Netflix doc. How can they actually have got through it all??

JulietteHasAGun · Today 06:00

I don’t see how they think they will get more money by moving here, if that’s the reason for the move. What are they going to actually do for work?
