Yes, I agree with you. I do however wonder if this is the start of a split? Both H&M have been adamant M won’t live here again, yet another flip (or flop?!).
they’re failing in the USA, they’ll try to gain some points off of W&K, use the royal funds to pay for the kids schooling, and I suspect Megs will try to schmooze back into some sort of royal image off the back of Kate and try to grift off of everyone’s can. Harry has A LOT of apologising to do with family and his friend. I do believe their marriage is circling the drain

Edited

Meghan might go down the road of Madonna when she married Guy Ritchie & moved to the Codswolds😂
Tweed, Barbour, Hunter wellies the quintessential British country lifestyle reinventing!

I reckon they will live in the Cotswolds - they lived in a farmhouse at Great Tew before - and send their kids to the posho school that Zara went to.

Oh no ! Far too close to me for comfort.

I hear the Hebrides are very nice …. (apologies to any MNers in the vicinity , should the Hams take up my suggestion ).

No - do not send them north of the border Shock You're welcome to them!

So Meg won’t be permanently living with her children who will be at school in the UK then?

People:

‘While the family’s longer-term residential plans remain unclear, PEOPLE understands Meghan will continue leading As Ever from the couple’s international bases, while Harry will be able to spend significantly more time supporting U.K.-based charities and patronages.’

Yank here. Thank goodness. What a pair of attention seeking losers. You're welcome to them.

Thanks but no thanks - what if we refuse to accept delivery / pretend we’re out?

Westfacing · 20/08/2026 09:32

For those speculating on the state of their marriage - I'd say Meghan must be feeling confident in the relationship; there's no way she'd move here if the marriage was rocky as she'd never be able to take them out of the country in the event of a split.

Whilst I expect People knows Jack shit about Whats going on, one would hope
“Harry will be able to spend significantly more time supporting U.K.-based charities and patronages.’” isn’t the whole story.
Thats not a job is?
Harry needs actual work.

The house is worth nothing. It’s a tear down. But I do think the land will be worth a lot of money. Probably more than what they paid.

The idea that they are keeping the house in California while also having a house in UK and Portugal is laughable. They are clearly in financial trouble and I do belive it will be up for sale soon

Which is crazy…when you think Megs whole business is based around that house. The kids while lives are based around that house- they never leave. So to rip their kids away from that. None of this is adding up.

If her business isn't financially viable including the cost of the house then business and the house need to go.

Kate’s mum may have wanted her children to marry well, but she almost never puts a foot wrong. They kept a dignified silence while they were slagged off & called social climbers. They turn up at events, they dress appropriately, are charming but don’t hog the limelight. I dont know how anyone can have an issue with them at this stage.

Absolutely & the Middletons worked very very hard to give their children everything. The family have never once put a step out of line. They are a great asset to the Royal Family.

More to this than meets the eye imho. Not quite sure what. But you never know with that pair.

I have read sporadic reports on the validity of his visa and whether he disclosed everything on his application so who knows?

Never be able to take the children out of the country, I meant to to say

I’m wondering what school had spaces for two dcs at the last minute. Or have H and M been planning this for months?

I doubt it. They'd have told Charles before Sunday if it was planned.

Money talks, 💰 🤑 pay extra to get an extra teacher into the classes and space will be created.

He will probably go back to shooting large quantities of birds and playing billiards naked.

It’s such a rash decision. To say they enjoyed visiting uncles etc….so on the basis of a weeks holiday….they are pulling their kids out of school and moving all the way across the world???????….again.

This is seriously alarming behaviour.

Their mental health issues are clearly going to start affecting the kids when they are doing really rash things like this. It’s completely unstable behaviour. They aren’t putting their children first. It’s so unsettling to move them now. Yes, visit family more! US kids get 3 months of summer holidays for Christs sake. They could spend every summer in the UK. To rip them out of school and their family home….theres more behind this.

They’ve obviously done it before with the freedom flight- but they are not right in the head to be doing this to their kids.

I honestly think Meg n Harry are splitting. This is phase one. The house will be sold. The kids will settle here and Meg will return to the US.

That wouldn't surprise me if its part of a split

The RF would possibly consider having H back but never M.
But I wouldn't trust them not to do an Andrew & Fergie, split, divorce but live in the same house.

I see no evidence that they love Africa - a claim that makes no sense anyway given how huge Africa is, how many different countries, cultures, climates etc.

Harry's ex Chelsea was African from Zimbabwe. I often feel if he had married Chelsea he would have had a fabulous life in her home country working for the crown. Not to be she was too clever & is now living her best life with her gorgeous hubby & kids in Mauritius

I've wondered about his visa too.

Trump isn't exactly going to protect H or want to get involved.

Thecows · 20/08/2026 09:48

Newname26 · 20/08/2026 09:51

It could be a whole combination of factors.

His visa
They aren't making the money they thought
Want a toe in the door with the RF.
Want the kids to make friends within the aristocracy.

Could also be a split, H doesn't appear to have been happy in the US.

Well, exactly. She isn't living in her 'home country' - she lived a wealthy white expat lifestyle in Zimbabwe, and went to school in South Africa, and is now living in Mauritius.

Africa, specifically Zimbabwe and South Africa, was a lovely backdrop with cheap domestic labour.

That isn't 'loving Africa', or even 'loving Zimbabwe'. It's loving the privileged lifestyle that comes cheaper in the global South.

I'm just generalising with 'Africa' as I have no idea which part of it they love.

Jimsaidpeoplearestrange · 20/08/2026 07:57

sound like goo news to me. hope they do come back here and are happy . no one knows what PW thinks. he might be fine with it.

Have you read anything about PW since Harry left? He's said countless times he doesn't want him in the family. Would you really be fine with your brother coming back when he'd upset your grandparents. Then thrown a tantrum while his grandmother was dying. Then offered no support to your father or SIL when they were both diagnosed with cancer? And that's without the stupid book Harry released. If you'd be fine with it you're a better person than me.
Don't forget PW turned down the opportunity to see Harry recently (and apparently told KC not to) so I seriously doubt that he's suddenly delighted his brother is coming back.
Still they might move to Portugal when they realise how hated they are altogether I'll feel sorry for the people of Portugal.

She was born in Zimbabwe so that is her home country! She still spends a lot of time there, she went to primary school in Zimbabwe, some time in a British boarding school as a teen & college in Leeds if I am correct.
Why are you trying to discard Chelsea's African heritage? She was born & lived there , she has now returned to Africa.

Many of us have read, listened to and watched what Meghan has told us at length and directly from her own mouth in her engagement interview, her Vanity Fair interview, Oprah, a six part Netflix documentary, the many hours of Archetypes podcasts, speeches at the awards she has picked up, the magazine interviews she has done in The Cut and Variety, the interview with Tom Bradby, the Ellen DeGeneres show, Bloomberg, her panel appearances at various events and on podcasts (eg with Jamie Kerm Lima and Emma Grede) to promote herself, Archewell and most recently, As Ever. Plus what’s been disclosed in her court case and said in evidence in that proceeding. There there has been everything she has said in the two series and Christmas special of “With Love, Meghan” and several more hours of “Confessions of a Female Founder” plus guest podcasts to add to the list. Plus her instagram content since January 2025.

And then there’s all the things Harry has told us from his own mouth in Spare, The Me You Can’t See, his Dax Shephard podcast, and his tv interviews to promote Spare, and all his court cases - including two appearances as a witness under cross-examination and all his other content - most recently his BBC interview.

That’s quite a lot to be going on even before we get to any edited media articles…

All edited FGS . Have you really watched all this? Don’t you have a real life? When you can say you have met her face to face then I might be interested
