I’ve almost given up on trying to keep up with these threads. Especially as the website version on my iPad is almost defunct. Have now resorted to trying to figure out my way around the app.
I am pleased that it hasn’t come about which school they go to, where they’re living, etc. And I really hope the press stick to it remaining that way. The public don’t need to know. And they don’t need any more excuses to be crying out for security. I’m hoping that, the longer they’re here, then the more obvious it becomes that no one is outing their locations. Apart from the “pap” shots of their various pub visits. The ones of them at the pub together are so obviously staged.
Am still pretty flummoxed as to why they’ve come back, not least because “I can’t see a time when … “. But I don’t think it’s anything visa-related. I think it’s all to do with the kids, they need them to be back here to secure how “royal” the kids are. It will be killing M to do so, and will be interesting to see how long she can keep it up for. She’s definitely not daft, she’ll have been getting her ducks in a row the whole time, she knows she’s got a lucrative out when she’s ready. And Harry has facilitated all of it, he’s definitely a floundering fish.
Meanwhile, W & C continue to do “royal” very well. Lovely relationships on both sides of the family. And the kids seem to be doing well. What a contrast.
My biggest takeaway in all of this is imagining how I’d feel if my sibling had done the very long list of what Harry has done. I’d be devastated. Someone who I absolutely loved, doing all of that. I’d feel bereft. Let alone it playing out in the public domain.
Ideal scenario for me would be that they realise the UK isn’t going to work for them. Go back to Cali, get the kids resettled, appreciate what they have as a couple, settle into a quieter life. It’s obviously never going to happen, but it could be so much better if they could do it.
