The most important bits . Harry must be shitting himself.

Interesting indeed. So she's taking the kids? Long distance my arse. As if 🙄

BillyBites · 11/09/2026 10:14

Oops, and yet here we have the Palace only the other day telling them exactly what they can't do - merch off their Royal titles and adjacency and try to cadge expenses off the tax payer.

Well it's true that the palace won't tell her what she can and can't do, they don't tend to try to control private citizens.

I am not sure she would return with the children. I expect if this falls apart then there will be a lot of Meghan flying back and forth with the children here.

Exactly this. And I strongly suspect that Harry’s desire for security is a more a desire to have someone somehow to protect him against negative media coverage than to protect him from actual bodily harm, as perverse as this sounds. I would
base this on the fact that the main issues around security he has raised are alleged paps following him to the airport and the infamous near catastrophic car chase, together with his fixation on legal action against news outlets and his desire
to control social media

Isn't that what the Judge said? Security is to protect against harm, not to shield people from the public.

He is not attending official engagements, that will, he hope, start up another poor me pedantic argument, he's a sad character, he seems lost and has no real work purpose, what do they do all day.

Yes, they have nannies, drivers, domestic staff, assistants...how do they fill their days?

Starryfifty · 11/09/2026 10:21

I now actually believe her and kids are not in the UK

The disastrous return actually works in RF favour. No invite to Catherine's carol service, Xmas walks and KC "standing by H's side" at Ingruftus all off the table now

Edited

It really does. They have made such a pigs ear of their return that it’s taken away any pressure or expectation from the RF as regards public invitations extended and support offered.

H&M never learn and the PR disasters just keep coming, even thicker and faster since they’ve been in the UK.

That's awful.

I guess that at least it demonstrates what his priorities are and ‘public service’ isn’t one of them more like self-service of help yourself

Rentfreeinyourhead · 11/09/2026 10:25

There is a reason why Catherine’s engagements are no longer in the Court Circular and that is due to security. Harry is publishing his itinerary which is encouraging a security risk. Is he hoping that something will happen so that RAVEC has to take notice?

I think boredom/ lack of purpose is part of the problem. Everyone needs a purpose/reason to get out of bed. Be it a job, taking care of children, elderly parents, etc. This pair just don't have anything

Possibly. But I think it’s mainly so the paps know where he is. Didn’t they issue some grandiose statement that the media would be allowed access to their engagements on a “fair” basis?
I suspect they’ll be alerted whenever one of them nips out to Tesco to grab a pint of milk.

The fact that we're now on thread 37 is VERY good proof of that!

I've never worked out whether they're

(a) being given bad advice and following it

(b) being given good advice and ignoring it or

(c) are not being given any advice and fumbling around causing chaos

My instinct is (b) but there's been so much happening for so long now that I wonder why anyone would continue to work for them if their advice is being ignored. It feels far more like (c) !!!!

I am genuinely waiting on a staged kidnapping

I was waiting for a car chase around the Cotswolds which, when investigated by Gloucestershire constabulary, doesn't appear on CCTV, door bell cameras etc

Desperate to be seen as Royal.

Less Royal more ‘Faux’yal

I agree. He could have had a great life as the Spare. Just doing the interesting things. Not having to cut a ribbon at a community centre in Luton, but garden parties (even though they thought they were boring), Trooping the Colour etc.

But even when he was doing that he still managed to put his and wife’s grifting first.

In 2019 there was the 30th-anniversary commemorative event for the 11 Royal Marines musicians killed in the 1989 Deal barracks bombing, however Harry, as Captain General of the Royal Marines, decided that he and Meghan attend the Lion King premiere in London instead. Where if I remember right he tried to get her a job.

Fucking grifter. Military don’t forget those kind of insults.

Yep that was particularly grubby.

I think they just don't heed advice. PR Advisors would not advise them to behave as they are. It's totally disastrous. Blaming the King for latest Ingriftus shit show is so damaging

The most important bits . Harry must be shitting himself.

I have said this from day one of the return announcement. MM is not staying. Evidenced by her proactive announcement that she will be leading her businesses from her international bases.

She is ensconcing her defunct, delusional, chaotic, addict STBXH in ther safe care of his friends, family, culture and community as she doesn’t want her STBXH bugging her out in LA. It’s a slow burn tho and PH doesnt realise what she’s doing. She will ensure she dips her DCs in enough royal glitter to sustain (in her eyes) a reflective glory on her to merch off. They need the royal adjacency as they are her meal ticket for life. Same as Sarah Ferguson.

This latest article is just a disingenuous drip feed - where she blames RF / media / salty island for her but being here - even tho it’s her plan all along.
