or will H&M move straight into Royal Lodge. 🤔 We shall wait and see

BBC says it will be a private, non-royal residence outside London. BBC article also says there are no current plans for either Prince Harry or Meghan to resume their roles as working Royals... there will be no expected change to the official status of Prince Harry and Meghan and they will remain as private individuals and the King welcomes the opportunity to see more of the Sussex family in a private and personal capacity which seems to make their status clear.

I think they’re running out of money, the court costs are closing in and Charles Spencer has offered them a house on the Althrop Estate after that ridiculous photo op visit last month and in a metaphorical two finger salute to the Windsors. You might not look after Diana’s boy but I will, etc etc.

This is pretty old. She said recently she doesn’t really drink anymore since her cancer diagnosis.

Definitely can’t imagine her smoking!

And that's so understandable, her health is her wealth

Well, if you were a couple of centre left leaning people with 2 kids, where would you choose?

I'd pick the UK.

Well if my money was running out I'd come back home too if my daddy was king..

Celebitchy is currently having a heart attack, stroke and an out of body experience right now. And it is glorious

Royal lodge is vacant. I wonder if they've set about the repairs yet.

I can't see William being happy for H to be in Royal Lodge.

Royal Lodge is massive is it not? Williams own place isn't that big.

I can almost see them back in the Frog Cottage they left but William probably won't want them anywhere near the Windsor Est.

TheCatSitterDM · 20/08/2026 00:58

There is only 1 academic year between Louis and Archie

Icecreamisthebest · 20/08/2026 00:58

I think it's a visa issue for Harry and they had no choice. I hope for the kids sake they are able to make a happy life but that it is a private life.

It certainly makes sense if Uncle Charles has offered up a place. And the strike while the iron is hot.

Problem with that is Altrop opens up tp the public. It closed when they were there.

JaneGood · 20/08/2026 01:11

Perhaps someone has offered to loan them a housing unit somewhere.

Do these big estates get many visitors in Autumn, winter?
Its also not unusual to have private areas within them.

It might be a temporary option until they get something more permanent back in the Royal estates

ODFO Harry ! 🙄

I find them both sickening. After everything they've said and done - the veiled accusations of racism in the Oprah interview, the statement that the Queen did not have jurisdiction over the word 'royal' overseas, the sneaking around with the move to Canada, Meghan's poor me interview with Tom Bradby, Harry's later denial of their veiled accusations of racism by saying the press had interpreted it as such and anyway it was just subconscious racism (watch Tom Bradby's face in that interview - even he can't quite believe what he's hearing), Harry constantly saying the UK was not safe for him etc etc.

There is more to this than meets the eye. Why do the children need a British education? An American one is also excellent - in fact lots of rich public school kids get sent to uni in the US these days. It doesn't make sense entirely.

I'm thinking they want money when the King dies and want to be close by. I find it hard to believe that Prince William will want to spend time with Harry.

Rather ironic if Uncle Charles offers them a place at Althorp when he refused to provide sanctuary to Diana.

Anyway I assume this means a Netflix 30th anniversary of her death documentary is off the table now?

Don’t say things like that! You will give them ideas.

I can just imagine the MM decorating range of organic child and planet friendly paints with names that will outflank F and B names for ridiculousness. For photo ops they will be dressed in pristine dungarees ( with bare feet) wielding a MM paintbrush ( bristles sourced from a responsible , sustainable third world country supporting a women’s colllective who make the brushes by hand and get 10p per brush. See also paint rollers made from the fleece of heritage lamb breeds, artisanal paint stirrers, handwoven dust sheets, masking tape that comes in 10 different shades of taupe etc)

Move over Kelly Hoppen, MM’s in town and eyeing up your slots on QVC.

Ratherhaveacupofteaandabiscuit · 20/08/2026 04:14

Unbelievable that they want to move back to our racist, unsafe, pap controlled country especially with our corrupt judiciary.

BBC say KC was only informed on Sunday.

Appreciate he is a public figure but I wish people (including bloody Harry) would stop speculating on the King's health so negatively.
Lots of people, myself included, live with incurable cancer.

I think H&M are feeling the pinch financially, know that the US venture has failed and H is miserable.

Presumably he still has a few friends left here and is deluded enough to think he can defrost others.

I can't imagine M is happy to move to a place where she is so disliked though.

Princessfluffy · 20/08/2026 04:52

Wow, the UK really does not want these two back. I anticipate it will be uncomfortable for them after they have made so many attacks on the UK and its citizens. I can’t see this lasting long tbh.

maxslice · 20/08/2026 05:07

Igy · 19/08/2026 22:18

There was talk of Harry wanting his kids educated in UK - guess that's why. Don't think M will be made to feel welcome

Do you think the kids have boarding school in their future?

twilightermummy · 19/08/2026 22:34

I think that this is really positive news, for once😊 I was gutted when they left.

Please, tell us why you were gutted.

Royal Lodge is vacant ATM! Windsor Castle is also empty. .

But seriously, things must be pretty bad in many ways for them to move back, especially having burned so many bridges here.

I hope the press ignore them completely and leave them to live as private citizens. I have no interest in reading about them, although I do take an interest in the royal family generally.

They say that they want to be private citizens, but they are endlessly attention seeking.

And we’ll be treated to even more photos of the backs of the children’s heads.
