Predictions for Harry and Meghan if they return to the UK?

[SaraHoliday]

Would anyone like to make a prediction of what happens next for Harry and Meghan if they return to the UK?

M = QVC
H = The Priory

Seriously though I just hope they find us as repugnant the second time round as they apparently did the first and sod off asap.

Unless KC3 has dangled a carrot - so they have to be ‘silenced’ and behave. He managed to paint them into a corner in July. I expect there are loads of conditions on their return but MM nose is out of joint (humiliated and sidelined) and shes not playing ball - so not coming - but PH and the DCs can acquire the royal glitter for her by proxy.

I think it's a shame for Harry. He's been born into huge wealth and privilege and has been on the front pages since birth. But he hasn't got the pay off of eventually being king. So his whole life has been played out as a royal but he hasn't had much out of it

In history the 'spare' has always had a tough time and been damaged in some way. Henry the Eighth was the spare! Look at Princess Margaret, she had no purpose in life and so drank and smoked herself to death.

Off with their heads I say. All the money goes to the government but they get to keep the houses that 'belong' (moot point) to them.

Harry had arguably the better deal when he was the spare. Rich, privileged, good network, access to beautiful properties and no responsibilities other than trying to not be a dick in public, which he sadly failed stupendously. Now he is no longer the spare, if he had behaved, he'd have access to a unique and close knit family, privileged lifestyle but no serious responsibilities, which he wouldn't have coped with. The Walse kids are being brought up much more wholesomely (thanks to Catherine and grandma Middleton) and we can hope that the new generation of royal youngsters are less messed up.

Yes - very much like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. She soon became bored rigid with his dullness and doting ways but they had sold the Greatest Love that Ever Was narrative to the world, and their social lives and prestige depended on that.

Agree with pps that the Spare has by far the better deal - unless, as in some cases, they have to take on the top job for various reasons.

Harry is so dim and so monumentally unself-aware that he has no idea how lucky and privileged he is.

It's quite clear now even that he thinks the world owes him a living for being a 'Royal Prince'! His demeanour and his actions just scream entitlement.

Doesn't he get it, even yet? He had that enormous privilege within the context of the British RF, with all its restrictions, men in grey suits, protocol and hierarchy. You accept all that, you get the privilege.

But if you flounce off, bad-mouthing everyone involved for money, then sorry - you'll have to get a proper job.

As KC is said to have muttered, shaking his head, to Camilla as HAM left the Highgrove meeting: 'Harry never listens...'

I mean, they can send their children to school here without risk of being shot. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable or weird thing for them to want. She’s American, their schooling is often not great and at times dangerous. He’s British and it’s much safer here - so makes sense to come back to the other country where one of you is from

But it is worth remembering that their father had his own "Harry moment" in his tell-all book in conjunction with David Dimbleby when he talked about his miserable childhood and how he was treated by his emotionally distant parents. He aired his resentments much as Harry has only in the media vehicle relevant to his time. He also admitted adultery.
This was at the time seen as "irreparable damage" but he was rehabilitated in the public's eyes and now is flavour of the month apparently.

I agree to some extent that, with hindsight, it wasn't a great idea for Charles to do the interview or book. We don't need to know those things. I don't want to know about any royal's sexual peccadilloes really, unless they're criminal, in the case of AMW!

But on here I read a lot of anger against Charles and Camilla for their affair during Charles's marriage. Yet not only has he confessed but also publicly shown remorse (it was inserted into their wedding ceremony at St G's Chapel). So - I don't think people can have it both ways.

If anyone is critical of him for his past relationship conduct, they should also ackknowledge his public self-flagellation over it.

Not "always". The spares used to go off and subdue the North and stuff like that.

She'll be cast on Loose Women.

I'd like to see that! But - would the other women get a word in? She would just preach and virture signal her way through the allotted time.

I think feathers would soon fly. And the treatment she'd demand in the dressing rooms etc....

Perhaps Harry could get a job at No.10 North?

(Not a serious suggestion!)

😂😂
Can you imagine! He wouldn't have the first clue.

I think it's a shame for Harry. He's been born into huge wealth and privilege and has been on the front pages since birth. But he hasn't got the pay off of eventually being king. So his whole life has been played out as a royal but he hasn't had much out of it

Other than:

• a role which allowed him to travel the world and hang out with celebrities and Heads of State
• luxury accommodation either free or subsidised
• prestige and deference awarded him simply by being born
• staff catering to his every whim
• the opportunity to support causes that deeply interest him
• lucrative media contracts handed to him simply because he's a Prince
• being with women well out of his league
• a lavish lifestyle with few duties or responsibilities

Then yeah, I guess poor Harry didn't get much out of being royal.

Superb answer! 👌🏼

To add, @IcedPurple- I find it absolutely inexplicable why people on these threads feel sorry for Harry. His constant victimhood persona must convince some people!

@IcedPurple

Exactly. And he was so monumentally stupid as not to have even thought about any of this when he flounced off, rubbishing it all.

Everything I read or hear about H just demonstrates how stupid he is. He has obviously never sat down, looked around him at other people’s lives and asked himself “why am I so privileged? What should I be doing to give good value for my privilege? How would it change things if I left, throwing my privilege in people’s faces? Might they see me differently?”

I know we can’t help the hand dealt to us when IQs were handed out but H has had every educational advantage and many wise people to learn from yet seems to have the understanding of a spoilt 5 year old.

Yes. The past 7 years have shown us very clearly that Harry really has nothing to offer other than his royal status. He had lucrative contracts thrown at him and failed to come up with the goods. He had the fame, wealth and status to make a great life anywhere, yet now he's crawling back to 'Salty Isle'.

I also agree with other posters that the 'spare' has a much better deal than the heir. Nearly all the privilege for a fraction of the responsibility. Where do I sign up?

Look at Princess Margaret, she had no purpose in life and so drank and smoked herself to death.

Look at Princess Anne. Successful equestrian career (requiring hard work and dedication). Patron of many charities, over many decades, for which she has put in real effort. Owns and manages a country estate, which is a job in itself.

Most people's lives would be improved if they spent less time whinging and more time working.

Also, what 'purpose in life' would an aristocratic woman of her generation be expected to have? She certainly would not be expected to work for a living or even pursue anything more than a fairly basic education. The expectation would be for her to marry another toff, have children who would be raised by nannies, and live a life of socialising and occasional 'good works'. Margaret could do all of the above. Her troubles in life were due to several things, but not because she was a 'spare'.

Princess Anne was the Spare for 8 years. Then she got overtaken in the Line of Succession by younger brothers, then all her brothers' children and grandchildren.
Has she moaned about it? Is she a perpetual victim? Do people feel sorry for her? No.
She became a world class equestrian, an Olympian no less, and has carved out her own sphere of charities and interests. She's 76 and still visiting bin depots and RNLI stations and community initiatives.
She only gets taxpayer funded security when on official royal duties, and yet was once the victim of an attempted kidnapping at gunpoint.
It's a shame that Harry can't look at her and take inspiration.

Very unnecessary personal attack there!

Princess Margaret children would be a possible example to follow.

Margaret actively taught her children they were not technically royal, once stating, "My children aren't royal, they just happen to have the Queen as an aunt". Princess Margaret famously considered them happy and well-adjusted, and both built successful, private creative careers outside the royal spotlight.

I think Edward and Anne seemed to be following that model - I think Sophie said as much in an interview and Anne went as far as to not have any titles for her children.

Maybe this is the Sussex plan but they insistance on Prince Princess titles suggests not.

It would seem that the Sussex plan is to remain as royal as possible, both the couple and their children.
