Could someone please explain to me how Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK will work out.
They’re very unpopular with the British public.
Unless Doria moves over to the UK, Meghan has no family support.
Harry has burned so many bridges with his family.
His friends, those that are remaining, will have to choose between supporting Harry or supporting William and apparently they have had quite a aristocratic friends in common.
William will be the King so I presume he will be supported by many of those mutual friends.
Will the first cousins, George, Charlotte, Louis, Archie and Lilibet ever meet up ?
Apart from probably funerals.
Not my monkey not my circus I know, but it is a mess.

The energy people use up on here indulging in the press coverage given to a family moving house is mindblowing.
The vitriol and insulting posts about two strangers is behaviour a psychiatrist/psychologist must revell in.
It's fascinating to watch people's reactions to complete strangers. I prefer to defer to the Mel Robbins theory of 'let them'
For all the HAM haters try it. It'll set you free from this circle of doom that you are trapped in.

The energy you're using up here, getting worked up strangers posting about strangers!

Why not apply Mel Robbins theory and just let us get on with it?

What on earth are you talking about? I quoted your comment on this thread and within this thread. Care to explain?

You will see no hate or love from me re HAM. I don't know them from Adam so how could I possibly form any sort of relationship.
The relationship you and @CoffeeCantataand many others have with them is literally in your head.
Let it go so you can concentrate on your own life, family and friends.
Your obsession with what they've allegedly said, done and going to do is seriously unhealthy.

Take your own advice and go find something else to do? Instead of scolding folks following an aspect of current affairs that we find interesting

How is it going to work? I've no idea. Do I care? Not a lot.

I don't normally comment on H&M posts, but scrolling down I'm baffled at how many people seem over invested in the lives of a bunch of privileged people they don't know. Their financial affairs, jobs, family squabbles and living arrangements are of no interest to most people, surely?

Cause its a big soap opera without the script writers.

@Cannesdo what if the whole thing has been one large strategy or plan ? whos to say what realy is truth and whats misdirection etc

Remind me of the question and I’ll try my best to respond. But I have explained my view clearly upthread, I think.

I’m not clear what precisely you are asking.

That's very funny that you claim others are obsessed when you enter a thread and start to lecture and disparage others. Now that is the circle of doom.

CoffeeCantata · 24/08/2026 11:31

The buzz words: obsessed, vitriol, hate,get a life etc have been used on these threads for years.

They're usually a mindless way of trying to shut down a discussion. But really - just get over it and accept that some people have things to say about a subject that they see more depth and meaning in than you do. The sort of pps who accuse people of these things often have absolutely little knowledge or understanding of the issues.

One pp had only ever heard of the spat between Catherine and Meghan over the bridesmaids' dresses - they claimed to be unaware of any other controversies - and couldn't understand why HAM are so unpopular n the UK! Well, go and educate yourself, I would say.

It can be like playing chess with pigeons.

It doesn’t bother me at all. Please read my original post.
I’m not even a British taxpayer.

But you started a whole thread about it… Sure. Why don’t you put the Daily Mail down for a change and try reading a book?

Serenster · 24/08/2026 20:34

You do not know these people. You only know what is being fed to you by magazines newspaper and the news.

Gosh, this line keeps coming up. Whereas in reality Meghan and Harry have told us more about themselves and what they think, than pretty much any public figure I can think of, except reality tv stars. From their own mouths, hours and hours and hours of them talking about themselves, and giving interviews.

Quite.

So are those who claim we know nothing about them saying they’re lying?

SisterTeatime · 24/08/2026 21:06

Honestly, it really gets on my nerves to keep being told that ‘we don’t know these people’. If we only ever thought, read and talked about people we know, the world would be a very strange place. It’s an incredibly stupid argument to make.

As for how their move to the UK will work out, I’m tempted to say ‘it won’t’. But one thing’s for sure: they won’t behave well.

I feel genuinely sorry for the rest of the RF (no, I don’t know them either) having to deal with this. As well as the personal pain and anxiety they now have H&M leaking like sieves all over the place and the press printing any old crap they’ve just dreamed up. What a nightmare.

A lot of families are moving somewhere where they don’t have family support or don’t keep contact with all of their relatives so nothing new in that. H & M have money - it will help them getting domestic support/ childcare.
As to friends … you don’t need crowds to be happy so if they have several it should be enough.
They will probably travel a lot to Europe so it will keep them busy.

Thats the point though
For people like H especially he will have people who want to be around him because of his money and titles.
There will be people who will sell stories, I actually think that's why he told the tale of having sex round the back of the pub, to avoid anyone else making money out of his story.

HAM aren't people who are going to make friends easily at the school gates.

I didn’t know HAM HAD any relatives they still speak to!

we only know what they want us to know.
Harry and William may have had all issues sorted out and been regularly speaking for months how would the public be any the wiser

Yes, because Harry would have sold those details in an interview.

After all those years, he must have had a pretty good idea no-one else was going to sell the story.
He must realise that not everyone is like him.

Goodness me, haven't they just. All manner of detail. Hours of TV interviews on Netflix et al, magazines, "Spare", Meghan's frequent updates on Instagram...can there be much left unsaid?

RobinStrike · 24/08/2026 23:15

I can’t even imagine how H&M could go to Sandringham for Christmas -they don’t allow the kids to be properly photographed with visible faces, so they can’t walk to church with the others. Once they have done that the press would be able to take pics elsewhere. I don’t mean on the school run etc as that is accepted as private, but on family trips etc.

Newname26 · 24/08/2026 23:21

No chance they'll be anywhere near Sandringham his Christmas. I don't think W&K will want the anywhere near their kids that soon.
The hour max with Charles and Camilla when they are watching their words is probably long enough, Christmas with the booze flowing, no way is anyone taking that risk.

Trust will take a grovelling apology and lots of time.
