Can we allow Harry and Meghan a clean sheet

Just that really.

When they come back should we just judge them by their future behaviour, not the past and try to be positive.

After the events of the last few days with Jason Arday it might help the RF if the media and social media allowed them to get on with things in a positive way. Frankly the only person who should be aggrieved is the Princess of Wales and maybe the King but he clearly want peace now what with his illness.

Let’s see if they can be positive and an asset to the UK and the RF.

??? When King Charles dies, William will be King and I'm sure he'll be able to give George any advice he requires. What makes you think Harry would or wants to be involved?

As for the line of succession, why would he be removed? The Royal line is littered with rapists and murderers, many of whom become king, and I've never heard of Harry being accused of a crime. Dear old Andrew is still sitting pretty.

Perhaps not accused of crimes but he was one of only two people shooting birds the day that 2 rare Hen Harriers were killed, put a white pill in the mouth of a young woman at a dinner party and punched his own security guard.

I doubt Meghan will want to stay here. She has no friends, and she’ll hate chatting to Maureen and Fred outside of Sandringham on Boxing Day.

I think Harry is naive if he thinks we are just going to welcome him back with open arms. He can live where he wants of course but many Brits aren’t prepared to pay for him, and don’t want him meddling in things here again.

You really think she wasn’t hounded? Were you living under a rock at the time?

Do you have any links to show M being chased up the street and her car surrounded as happened to C and D ? Or upskirted as C was ? Or pap photos of her sunbathing in a private garden ?
Anything ?

I remember celebrating M&H’s wedding with family and friends in 2018 and enjoying Suits.

Since sometimes shortly after that, all I can remember is sniping, drama, poisonous interviews, lies, half truths, manipulations and u-turns. Wanting privacy but seeking publicity/profile. They told the world that our RF and us are racists and drove her to feeling suicidal. Harry has lost so many friends. Meghan has left a long trail of people who she has fallen out with. It’s never ending drama and hard to know what’s true/not true. I don’t want to hear any more bollocks from them and I’d have preferred them to stay in America.

So no, I won’t let them have a clean slate. Because it’s not one minor fuckup/fallout, it’s years and years of non stop drama and lies. I just don’t want to have my senses polluted by all this shit.

If it’s found that large amounts of tax payers money are funding them they can skip back to the USA.

If Charles dies in the next 5 years then the heir to the throne will be a minor, Prince George, and maybe Harry sees himself as the senior advisor to George as he will be the next adult in the line of succession. These two never do anything for no reason and once they're here William would find it more difficult to remove him from the l of s .

The next in the line of succession is William, not George. As for Harry being a "senior advisor" to George, that's laughable. He was only a "working royal" for 10 minutes. I doubt very much if William and Catherine would allow Harry (and Meghan) to be anywhere near any of their children.

PropertyD · 20/08/2026 18:15

Zelda - are you Megan? You are very supportive of them and you seem to not hear the terrible things they said. I have read bits of Spare. I heard the disgraceful Oprah interview .

They are not welcome here.

Are you living under a rock? A huge.number of people are racist in this country. Especially the right wing media. If you think otherwise then im sorry you are a fool.

A huge number of people aren’t racist, more than are in fact, but that doesn’t fit your narrative I presume so everyone can be slagged off, no problem?

it’s not achieving anything to call people racist “ just. because”. Why do people do it?

Plus there are far more racist countries in the world buy never mind that.

Yes, the USA has more racists than the UK (size of population) and they can get hold of guns. Far more worrying.

Yes. He's said a lot of stuff. A lot of it utter bollocks.

😅😅.
Didn't he say too that she sang a song on a boat once and masses of seals flocked to her because they were so moved by Megs voice.

Oh yes. So many tall tales.
I liked her claim that there was dancing in the streets of South Africa when she got married, it was similar to when Mandela was released.
Actually I quite admire them for saying all this stuff and expecting people to believe it 🤣!
Although, clearly...some people do 🙄

IIRC he said something in Spare about wanting to be a kind of guidance counsellor to Charlotte and Louis because he knows what its like to be in their position (the spares) and he was the person who could avoid them turning into messed up adults. Can't imagine W&K were impressed at that offer.

So many of the extracts I read sounded like a parody that was written by someone who was off their tits on drink/drugs at the time. Which to be fair to H, he possibly was!

That's the only explanation! 😂 So many lies, exaggerations and utter nonsense.
Weirdly entertaining, although definitely a bit trippy! I hope that ghost writer was well paid.

sunflowersintheday · 20/08/2026 18:42

To add, @AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta , I read a funny parody of Spare in Private Eye, although in all honesty, it could have been a real excerpt!

I think it's highly likely that this has all been planned for a long time and agreements and contracts are already in place. I think it has probably been agreed with the press to leave them alone. I think H&M have probably agreed to certain things, also, and probably had to sign contracts as part of this return.

I don't personally believe that KC was 'blindsided' by this (but applaud him for welcoming them back). I think deals were struck and conditions set. I think H&M's image is undergoing rehabilitation.

I think they'll stay low for a long while but eventually H will do some Royal duties again, in time. All carefully orchestrated.

I really do hope they will all be happy in the UK. I think a lot of people love the drama and a go on social media (Facebook especially). I lot of the vitriol is ridiculous; people should want a family to be happy and not to be estranged from their own extended family members.

I hope the UK will welcome them back and forgive whatever 'wrong' they feel H&M did to them personally (which is nothing as far as I am concerned).

Why should the country 'welcome them back'?

Less than 2 months ago Harry was blathering on about how unsafe Britain was for his family. This from a man who thinks nothing of jetting off to actual war zones. Nobody in this country owes these two a damn thing.

No too late. Horrible arrogant troublemakers out for what they can get,

SpottyAlpaca · 20/08/2026 19:10

IDGAF where Harry & Meghan live, or what they do. I’m not interested and I don’t care. As long, that is, as I’m not paying for them.

If they want to continue to opt out of royal duties & responsibilities and live as private citizens, that’s fine by me. Good luck to them. But they should earn their own living & should not be directly or indirectly supported or subsidised by the U.K. taxpayer in any way.

Lampzade · 20/08/2026 19:14

Meghan must love really Harry because there is no way on God’s Green Earth that I would even consider returning to live in England if I was in her position

Leaving the relaxed Californian lifestyle to come and live in stuffy England with the likes of the heinous Piers ‘ She ghosted me’ Morgan et al

If Harry wants to spend time with his father , no problem . Then he can visit regularly , but for the whole family to move … not a good idea
The Sussexes will be divorced within five years if they return to England .

Why would she live with Piers Morgan? I assume she'd live with Harry and the children.

Blueskies77 · 20/08/2026 19:24

I’d never forgive Megan for the way she has behaved and acted. I’d like to think in years to come Harry softens again but I’m not sure the royal family could ever trust either of them again.
