Not to mention his looks now give more mange than “fox”.

This really made me laugh!

What happened to all that crip-crap about "moving together like salt and pepper"?
Vinegar seems to have entered the cruet.

And that poor old wonky palm tree: "It's us, my love".
Yep, sure it is.
Something went wrong with it right from the beginning and it's diverging farther and farther now...

A huge payoff I would imagine

I honestly think there is so far and no further KC will go to welcome H back. I think back in the WRF is too far. Also W's superpower is he really doesn't need to do anything at all. Time and the fact he is actually going to be the next King is on his side. It is now up to H&M to behave properly, keep quiet and behave as they were expected to after the Sandringham agreement.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned previously but change.org has a petition “private stay, private pay” No taxpayer funded security for Prince Harry.
16k signatures just today.

@AutumnCrowFlewOverTheCotswoldsNest just need to congratulate you on your new name! It’s inspired!

Is anyone else struggling to work out what is actually happening? since they announced they were coming back to the UK there have been so many conflicting reports, it’s a permanent move, it’s for 6 months, may move to Australia, Harry’s staying here for 15 years and Meghan will be in the US for extended periods, now in the latest mail article it’s the duchess will continue to run her lifestyle brand, As Ever, from their new base

According to the latest then Meghan will be here permanently?

The pair of them must have had their phones glued to their ears calling various journalists with conflicting stories all to keep them in the headlines, it’s just a game to them and they are probably enjoying making all these Mail journalists in particular look like lying fools.

Here's hoping DM log all leaks, phone numbers, record phone tip offs and then print a story about how all sources appear to be or 1 degree removed from the diabolical duo. Released after the next story of them moaning about press intrusion.

Yes, I can see that happening! I also think that the Duchess title would have to be prised from her dead, cold hands.

She could keep using the title anyway. She already uses 'incorrect' forms of the title according to tradition. No-one can stop her using whatever title she wants. If she can get people to use it.

I could demand people call me Princess Baital. There's nothing to stop me (except sheer embarrassment, and I can't afford servants to impose the title on!).

FenellaFeldman · 26/08/2026 18:58

Meghan will not ever stop using the title. It's everything to her.

Check it tomorrow and most of the signatures will have disappeared like the remove h from invinctus. Something odd going on there. It would be better to do petition on .gov parliament website which is not a 3rd party like like change.org

Agreed, the headline stating “she doesn’t want to loose him” only means she doesn’t want to loose the title, Harry not so much.

Well even if they have to work overtime removing the names at least they will have an idea of how unpopular the idea of taxpayer funded security is. I’m ever the optimist. But I understand your point. I’ve also gone back and taken a screenshot.

Harry and Meghan ‘have returned to the UK’

Me too!

It’s not nice to mock when a fox gets mange but he did say very cruel things about William losing his hair.

That picture of them on that article - he looks so pissed off and he's leaning right away from her. Like he hates her 😕

I have a theory that the journalists pick photos that illustrate things the paper’s legal department prevent them from writing.

Cismyfatarse · 26/08/2026 19:46

@Choux My understanding is, in the days of paper newspapers they would drop massive hints in the photos and the articles round about. So, a puff piece about a celebrity next to a “Five ways to spot infidelity” piece.

I believe there are some well known examples. Will research.

Cismyfatarse · 26/08/2026 19:52

Apparently, it is innuendo journalism. Or, “reading the paper sideways”.

Starryfifty · 26/08/2026 17:34

H won't be back stateside. Ever.

I don't think we can say that - no on believed M would be back.

I had forgotten/didn't know about the wedding and M inviting herself - that changes things, for me, if true.

I think you're reading a bit too much into that picture. He's not leaning away from her nor does he look pissed off and the image is a montage.
