The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to return to live in the United Kingdom, six years after leaving for the United States. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are expected to relocate later in August to a non-royal residence. The property is believed to be outside London, and the children are expected to start school in September.
When the Duke and Duchess stepped down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020, the late Queen Elizabeth II ruled that they could retain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles but would no longer use their “Royal Highness” (HRH) styling. The couple have continued to use their Duke and Duchess titles while living in California, but they will not be able to resume using their HRH styling when they return to the UK at the end of the month.
may God protect Harry, wife and children from that awful island.
ReplyDeleteGive me a break!
DeleteExactly! God bless them. The press is rabid, dishonest, and unchecked. Corruption in plain sight.
DeleteThat ‘awful country’ is allowing his return.
DeleteHuh? Apparently he loves it
DeleteI'm praying for them. I think it very likely they're doing great financially. I pray those vipers have some decency and the kids are out of bounds. I would stay away from most of the royals and stick with friends. They'd throw those children under the bus to drop any unsavory stories past and present of theirs which they're more than a few. Good luck to them. They're going to need it. Well the Lord. Most importantly.
Delete20:21 can’t work out if your comment is tongue in cheek?! Probably?! If it’s not, I feel a little sad at the United Kingdom being called “that awful island”.
DeleteGod save the King! and protect this beautiful island from awful liars.
DeleteIf it is so aweful, why are they coming back?

76 comments the derangers must be out. We don't care but we're going to comment on this woman we don't care about.
Delete11:50 who are the “de rangers”? Who are you to call others a derogatory term?
Delete11.50 and you take the time to count comments!
DeleteIs De Rangers a noble family you belong to?
Well going home again. At the end of the day only family is important. Friends come and go; one has them as long as one is able and willing to give, if one needs them, they are invisible sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe Sussexes have hurt lots of people was its greed self-importance or just stupidity. Being members of the RF opens lots of doors for best Education for the children and being seen. Being Royalty is not being a Celebrity. Harry should have known that from the get-go. He is born into the RF with that said, come Responsibilities. This post may seem hard to some people it is not that way at all it is Reality. I wish them the best it will take a long time for them to mend fences and regain the trust of family members and the public.

This is the best response I have read. Thank you for your clarity. Unfortunately, I don't see any movement in addressing the clash that comes from being Royal and 'content creators'. So, the Sussex sagas will probably continue.
DeleteYour post is ridiculous and filled with lies.
DeleteHere comes the bigoted lunatics! Get over it
DeleteNot family that lies on you and makes your family unsafe while being in bed with the tabloids to hide their secrets.
DeleteThe Sussexes worked for their money and Prince Harry wrote a book that corrected a lot of the lies that royal reporters wrote that the family wouldn't allow him to defend himself against.
DeleteWell said a celebrity is so very different from being a royal. I think Meghan never understood this as an American and Harry missed it
DeleteCSS, a very fair comment. I hope they find their way too, out of celebrity, into peace.
Delete@CSS It took Camilla 20 odd years to lose the tite of "that woman".
DeleteThey did visit King Charles in the Summer at his private residence in Highgrove, perhaps that will be their residence, a home that Harry will inherit since William does not need it.
DeleteAs if their family hasn't hurt them back. Weird what narrative we choose to follow.
DeleteI totally disagree with everything css says and the stay behind royals need to think long and hard about how they supported Meghan. The transition was hard for her, but Kate let lies in the Press lie there - to make her look good and Meghan bad. None of us know what is behind this, it seems unlikely it is a permanent move, so let’s wait and see. Harry has no need to apologise to anyone, neither does Meghan. IMO. LRB
Delete@Anonymous21/8/26 05:00, As a part of the Duchy of Cornwall, Highgrove belongs to Prince William. The king currently has a long-term lease of the property and pays rent to the duchy. When William becomes king the property will automatically belong to Prince George (who will be the Duke of Cornwall as the Prince of Wales).
DeleteT
@00 47, Harry’s book should have been subtitled ‘recollections may vary’ as his grandmother famously said about some of the couple’s other fabrications.
Delete. @ 5 26. When did the family hurt them back. They have maintained a dignified silence in the face of sometimes outrageous allegations
LRB. Not sure where you get your info from but it’s certainly not a reliable source. Meghan turned down support offered on many occasions. This is well documented. There’s no evidence that the Princess of Wales told lies about Meghan. This is a new one for me. Harry behaved so appallingly that an apology is the least of what he needs to do to make amends.
14:40 beautifully written.
DeleteAnon 14.40 Excellent articulation, agree with all your points.
DeleteHere we go with another episode of this soap opera; this didn't just come out of nowhere, as dear Meghan already has her little strategies lined up. I don't have much faith in it and am bracing myself for what's to come.
ReplyDeleteIt’ll be interesting to see what they will do to keep the attention on themselves…so much for their ‘privacy’. Hope he doesn’t expect a warm welcome after he trashed his family and country. And will their children’s faces actually be seen now?
DeleteHere go the deranged Meghan haters losing their minds. Get a life!
DeleteAgree !!
DeleteThey work, leave the house to live, and people pay attention that's what you haters can't stand. So you act like she's out looking for press. Some people have it and others don't. Get over it. Why are you worried about other people's children.
DeleteThe Meghan haters are out. She sent an email, told Kate she forgot something, corrected a long standing lie with known proof, and actually left the house to support patronages. But she was a woman that no one trusted from the beginning and no one would take the time to get to know. Not racism no!
Delete👍
DeleteAmused by this term ‘haters’ for anyone who criticises an opinion. Meghan WAS trusted in the beginning, was liked, was supported, was applauded, and then, Gwendolyn she grew tired of the unexciting round of regular total engagements and started whining, took the huff when people criticised her
Delete11:48 what nonsense. Implicit trust was granted to Meghan because the country loved Harry. We wished them well, loved her early start. Then they broke the trust by selling their version of the inside story to create wealth. From that point it has been mucky and it will be hard for us to trust her and by association him again.
DeleteWill certainly be interesting to see how this goes. I hope they can find a life where the controversies and controversial behaviour settle, that they establish a quiet and private life, finally. I am a bit confused why the press statements they engineered state she’ll continue “as ever” as it does seem to do well, so I hope she finds work that better suits her and that the kids will be happy. I don’t believe the logic of the King only just finding out; not sure the purpose of that statement, it’s no doubt been quite some time in planning. C
ReplyDeleteThey're leaving a quiet private life. The only controversies are manufactured by the rota hence the concern they're going back.
DeleteAs Ever is doing very well and making money. The lies that it is not are just that - lies. She was blasted for selling out of produce on her first drops, sorted the supply lines and then is blasted for holding stock. She bought out the Netflix ownership, why would she do that if it was not making money? Why do people hate success? LRB
DeleteI don’t hate success LRB. But I don’t think the as ever business is a particular success. Not lies, different perspective.
DeleteAccording the newspapers (not U.K.) I read that royalty watchers are talking about reactions they heared from staff members of the Royal Palace in the U.K.. It starts again the staff members of the Royal Palace who cannot keep their mouth shut. Do we hear the same from other royal houses in other countries ? : "No". In other European royal houses the staff members are much more discrete and yes everywhere there is probably an "employee" of the royal families who is willing to tell something he/she knows or heard from another "maid" whose work is close to this or that prince or princess. But the press is not so quickly in other countries to publish hear saying and gossip like in the U.K.
ReplyDeleteI hope Harry and Meghan and their children will find peace and serenity in the U.K. and found a house away from the royal cottages and houses.
The staff is just as bigoted as some of that family.
DeleteThey have no royal roles, so must make their own way as they stated when they left.
DeleteI'm surprised they are coming back to our "racist" kingdom as they stated.
The Brits court are known for their infighting. They try to make their royal come out on top. We only see this in England. As Harry said he and William agreed never to do this until Harry and Meghan became to popular then all hell broke loose. The royal family has a job to do when it comes to cleaning up their own house, leeks, infighting between different courts and taking away the nasty British media's power.
DeleteI would say that the overall winner of the hilarity here today is … drumroll… @5:32, who quite rightly suggests the British royal family should clean up their “leeks” (sic). I do love a good spelling error but this one is really splendid, giving visions of them all in tiaras down on their knees in the veggie gardens cleaning the leeks. And possibly carrots too. Brilliant outrage.
DeleteI am really surprised they are doing this given how much they have publicly bashed the UK and the Royal Family. I would like to think they have lovely motives, but I suspect the reality is they are running out of money, they are having marital discord, Charles is sicker than is publicly known, and/or Harry was about to have immigration problems with remaining in the US. I feel sorry for the Royal Family having to deal with them and hope firm boundaries will be enforced.
ReplyDelete-Royal Watcher
Agree! But isn’t this move just temporary and they will.be going back and forth?
DeleteI am concerned that King Charles health may be more precarious than we are being told.but I think money may be part of it. Perhaps Harry thinks he can force the issue of security when he’s in the UK
DeleteYet funny most of the biographers seem to agree with much of Harry's account and just explained. Attacking a person for not allowing themselves to be lied on says more about you than them. Harry's book sold more than enough to get him a hefty sum. The Netflix contract delivered eight figures, speaking engagements added seven figures, and As Ever is making Meghan millions. They still seem happily married much to the disappointment of bigots. I do believe Charles is sick and Harry is going to try and spend some time with him and let him get to know the kids. No decent person could feel sorry for that family and their weaponization of the press, but I pray Harry keeps his children away from the Wales.
DeleteThe reality was I think that they ran out of profitable projects. People were not interested anymore. Harry was a nobody in the USA and missed probably all the attention and benefits of being a royal in Britain. It'll take some time untill the wrinkles within the family will be smoothend out.
DeleteAgree !!
DeleteAt the end of the day England is home and will be their final resting place. All that has been said and done to be forgiven. This is good for the Sussex and Wales children.
DeleteI hope Meghan finds it in her heart to reconcile with the Markles too.
I agree with you.
DeleteAll their ventures have flopped, so it makes sense they return to the UK to lick their wounds. Money is running out and they do have a lavish lifestyle as we have seen.
DeleteThey will likely find, everyone has moved on and won't pay them any attention.
Everyone who thinks they are running out of money need to take a long hard look at themselves. They own a very expensive house in Montectio and are moving to Britain , for a time, and not selling the house. Now who do you know who is short of cash and holds onto a multimillion pound home that they are not using? LRB
DeleteLRB you are certainly a staunch supporter of Meghan! I notice that! But I’m always somewhat confused by the progression of your arguments.
DeleteEg if I think they are suffering financially (which I may or may not do), why would it help to have a good long hard look at myself? I don’t understand the logic or association? The two are completely unrelated.
Equally to live in a house in Montecito for a while does not mean you own the property; they likely have a mortgage which is ongoing. Most very wealthy people (or wannabe wealthy people) do not own outright but use debt. Hence they most likely share the ownership with a bank. While they are not there it’s quite likely they will rent it out and earn money on it.
I agree with LRB there is again too much wishful thinking. How do all these commenters know Harry and Meghan are running out of money ? I don't think Harry nor Meghan have ever explained their financial situation to anybody (or maybe just to a counceller). If they would be running out of money and decided to return to the U.K. for good they would have sold their very expensive home in Montecito, California. It has been said also that Harry and Meghan looked for a vacation house in Portugal not far from Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. This summer they have been in Portugal on vacation, among other places. Maybe they bought something there or they just hired a villa for their stay. If I was them, I would not buy a house anymore in Portugal, with the climate change and the heat the southern part of Europe encountered this summer, many villa's owned by people from European countries (more up north) are for sale and don't cost much money anymore because nobody is interested any more. The same scenario is playing in Spain, Italy, Greece, the south of France, etc... I know a Belgian villa owner in Spain, who came on holiday to Belgium, because it was less warmer in Belgium than in Spain. Of course if you come to Belgium (BeNeLux) you find it less warmer than in Spain f.ex., but nevertheless he said that he was not interested anymore to stay inside during summer because it was really too hot on the beaches.
Delete13:43 a fair logical comment at last.
DeleteLRB needs to unwind, take a deep breath and put some reasoning in her chaotic thoughts.
Contente qu ils rentrent au pays
ReplyDeleteJ aime ce couple
Yawn 🥱
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm sure that's why you commented.
DeleteSorry if you are bored find something better to do. Your comment is deeply unpleasant. LRB
DeleteHa! “Yawn” is as valid as any other comment.
Delete@LRB, not at all “deeply unpleasant”. Not remotely unpleasant! It’s just that commenter’s viewpoint. Heck.
DeleteO no they're not ! O yes they are ! It's like a puppet show
ReplyDeleteOr a pantomime with those two
ReplyDeleteWon’t be long before Harry starts whining and feeling sorry for himself again.
DeleteNo deranged bigots see everything but the right thing.
DeleteNo deranged bigots see everything but the right thing means something, does it? Some really confusing gobbledygook here today.
DeleteSo, lets hope with a little bit of luck we will see children faces,
ReplyDeleteExactly what we said when watching the news last night! 😂
DeleteWhy? Just why do you need to see their faces? Please let me know.
DeleteNice news. Wish them well. If England could go on to establish a good relationship with Germany after the death and bombing destruction meted out by Germany during aWorld War II, then William, as a future King and world leader, should find a path to make peace with his brother. Prolonging the rift will only prolong more drama. He needs to set an example of reconciliation, not grudge holding, and move forward with maturity. They need not be close, but please end this bitter soap opera which benefits no one and no country.
ReplyDeleteI agree. They don't need to be best friends, but should be able to attend an event together in a friendly way. A true king should be bigger than this. Maybe their father can lead the way.
DeleteBut certain English press is already going crazy with opinions and assumptions. I hope the press will let them have the privacy they wanted, and just report when they have events, just like they do with William and Catherine.
Get the popcorn ready.
ReplyDeleteKim
I'm very happy to hear this news. Apart from whatever acrimony there may be between the various adults, this is the time for the children to get to know their British grandfather, and he to spend more time with them. Also, this is the time and opportunity for the children to get to know their cousins and second cousins, namely William's children, as well as Beatrice's, Eugenie's who are close to their age, and some of the older ones such as Peter Phillips and Zara's children. All the children are the innocent bystanders in the adults squabbles and don't deserve to be deprived of a healthy relationship with their extended family and each other.
ReplyDeleteI'm not expecting to see much, if any at all, of Meghan and Harry at any of the public BRF annual events since they are not working royals, though they could well get together in private such as at Christmas which of course we will never know or see. Harry is well liked by many of his cousins, and in addition to having a large family on his mothers side to keep him busy, he has a huge circle of influential socialite friends who'd be only too happy to invite him and Meghan to events like Wimbledon and Ascot though not in connection nor in the presence of the Royal Family members who may be there at the time, except if Charles invites him with diplomacy.
I also don't at all think that money is the motivation for their move back to the UK. Both of them have millions in their individual and combined rights, with still more to come from further inheritances.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out, but again, I am happy for their move for the reasons I've stated above.
- Anon 9:13
Thanks Anon 9:13. I agree.
DeleteWait and see. It is known that Harry has always been close with Eugenie. She went to visit them in the US and Harry and his family came to visit them in Portugal. Harry has always been close with the Spencers and he is more than welcome at his uncle's estate Althorp.
DeleteAnon 9:13 so very well said.
DeleteI think Harry and Meghan would be well-advised to keep a very low public profile in the UK for a good long while, maybe a year, to let the children get settled and to let their public image, actions, and statements become less a source of continuing conflict. I am not sure they, especially Meghan, are capable of that, but that is what I think they should do. Time will tell. I agree their children have been missing out on what would have been meaningful extended family relationships, but I am not sure how much cousin time they will get. Recall Harry and Meghan weren’t invited to Peter’s recent wedding, and I don’t foresee William letting his children anywhere near Harry and Meghan for a while, maybe forever. I can’t say I blame the Royal Family if they are wary and keep them at arm’s length. Trust once lost is not easily regained. Forgiveness, when it comes, doesn’t mean you have to have a close relationship - indeed, sometimes it is healthier not to.
Delete-Royal Watcher
They won't be anywhere near sandringham for Christmas
DeleteThey won't be anywhere near sandringham for Christmas
DeleteLovely stated and I agree except the part about William, he is stubborn, insecure and holds grudges, but maybe he will grow up and do the right thing. I do feel that the king’s health is behind the move, Harry really loves his dad and he probably wants to spend time with him and for his children to get to know him before he goes. Rem
Delete@Anon 16:32 "Sandringham" isn't the only family Christmas event of the season. There are almost certainly several smaller private ones hosted by other family members that they'll be welcomed at. King Charles wouldn't invite them to anything that would make them or his guests uncomfortable. He has other options as well.
Delete@Royal Watcher: How do you know they weren't invited to Peter's wedding? Are you implying that because they didn't attend that they weren't invited? Goodwill invitations, acknowledging intent but avoiding awkwardness between close friends and family do exist. Secondly, expecting them to lie low and out of the public eye for any period of time is a foolhardy hope and and selfish expectation to their many patronages and interests outside the UK. And it's not just Meghan either. Short of locking themselves in whatever house they choose to live in, you can be sure that the (gutter and other) press will be recording their every move, even if it's opening the front door to pick up the morning milk and newspaper. Thirdly, William would be the bigger fool if he were never to let his children near their cousins as you suggest he might. Adults may squabble, but children are children, and should not be influenced or separated by their parents grievances.

They can live where ever they want. They have friends and relatives in the U.K
ReplyDeleteCan nasty people please try to behave as adults. It's to tiering reading the hate every time we see a story about Harry and Meghan. Do us a favour and scroll to the next story.
ReplyDeleteIs it not nasty of you to call other people nasty just because the disagree with your opinion? Many of us see a selfish couple who always put themselves first and are sad that the circus is coming back to England
DeleteYes 14:51. It is horrible but fairly consistent; if you comment a less than fully pro Meghan commenters, her die hard fans are likely to call you nasty. I think they would get much further by being nice and agreeing to disagree.
DeleteRefrain from comments that have nothing to do with fashion please!
ReplyDeleteRealise your “ opinion” is formed only by which paper you are reading!
So where is the fashion ? Not all news is fashion, real life here!
DeleteThis news posted has nothing to do with fashion. What should we comment on?

DeleteTerrible news…
ReplyDeleteNiemand weet wat zich achter de schermen afspeelt, allemaal speculaties.
ReplyDeleteZij leven hun eigen zeer luxe leven, en wij worden gemanupileerd.
All would have been well the first time if the vicious British press had leave them alone. But there had been endless lies fabricated from „sources“. Lies that most people believed. I cannot understand that they are going back to this hate filled country with this more hate creating press. I hope all will be going well especially the children are involved now. I have counted the articles about them today on the first page of the Daily Mail - sixteen!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the vicious British press cannot believe their luck. They will generate millions in the upcoming months. Of course it was Harrys idea and Meghan loves him so much that she accepted. I only hope she wont regret it.
And to the readers of the vicious British tabloids - don’t believe the things you read. They are only generating klicks and therefore more money that you can imagine with their lies.
I agree with Anonymous 06:17 and pray they may be protected by their gardian angels against the bad members of the RF and their staff and the vicious British tabloids.
DeleteI agree with Anon. 06:17. You explained it like many other European royalty fans are thinking about the British press.
DeleteMaybe because they want the kids to learn about his country.
DeleteDo you think the British press will leave them alone now that they are coming back? You are very naive if you think so.
DeleteNo. I do not think so at all. As I have written above. 16 articles on the front page of Daily Mail alone one day after the announcenent they will settle back in the UK. Sixteen!!
DeleteThey will never leave them alone. Never have. Harry and Meghan generate Klicks, more than any other couple on the world. That is the only thing the press is interested in. More Klicks more Money!
Sorry to bother you, but could I just but in with a fashion comment.
ReplyDeleteFASHION COMMENT:
I hope Duchess Meghan will keep us in touch with Californian fashion mode and trends.
Explained recently in a fashion mag as ….
“California style fashion is a laid-back, comfort-first aesthetic built on effortless cool, high-low clothing mixes, and outdoor-ready pieces. It blends beach culture, skate roots, and bohemian influences with casual luxury”.
Oh I agree - I love the fact Meghan is adventurous in her choices, whilst trying to find new and upcoming designers. I don’t always like her choices, but I love the fact she experiments. I also like Maxima and Letizia for the same reasons - they push the boundaries, not always with an outfit I love, but it is so much more fun than another of Camilla’s (perfectly respectably) zip up dressing gowns, or Kate’s coat dresses. LRB
DeleteTo me Californian fashion is only interesting during summer and when on vacation. During winter we are more attired by French, Spanish, German fashion of coats, pants, (winter) dresses, boots, sweaters, ski fashion for those who are going to the Winter Sport areas to do skiing, snow bording, cross-country, etc...
DeleteI hope so too. And I hope Kate will look at her and can see Royal and modern is also possible. Hope this comment will come through because earlier feedback about Kate wasnt
Delete@17:19. It’s Catherine. And she is royal and modern, as well as modest, consistent and loyal. You are right, we definitely see a beautiful role model in Catherine and can only hope that Meghan, given time and space, will emulate her graciousness and service.
DeleteMeghan’s clothes often appear ill-fitting and wrinkled on her. I do not think she is a good representative of California fashion.
DeleteSomeone above noted how difficult the situation is when the employees are speaking out about the Family. Think how devastating was when your own son and brother makes heartful comments. Yes, there is the tale of the prodigal son' s return in the Gospel, but in his absence he made harm only to himself, not to his family. I think it will be very difficult to "slaughter the fattened calf" for this "return".
ReplyDeleteSo many seem to know so much almost on a personal level. They deserve all the scrutiny levelled at them, imo. They could have lived 'private 'lives as first declared but chose to monetise by betraying familial trust- which I think is absolutely disgraceful and can only be resolved by those involved. Leave it there and stop speculating . I just hope it does not impact on His Majesty's health.
ReplyDeleteOh I think it will impact massively on HM health - the rift with a child is heartbreaking and I think having Harry, Meghan and the children near him and talking will greatly improve his mental health. LRB
DeleteGiven the nonsense and poorly chosen words the couple have used over the last 6 years, Charles had likely been somewhat relieved to not have them as neighbours. We will now see if they can act kindly and honestly and rebuild family ties. One hopes, although this would be new learning for Meghan.
DeleteI just got my crystal ball out and rubbed my hands over it and I got this message. …. King Charles’s health is not as good as we are led to believe”.
ReplyDeleteIf this is the case, I think Harry and Meghan have done the right thing and reorganised their lives so that Charles can have as much time as possible with his greater family.
This could explain why the king was not aware of his son and daughter in law’s plan .
I hope my crystal ball is wrong.
So now I’m back to my telly for another episode of Days Of Our Lives.
I’m having a busy morning with all of this.
They complained so much about the BRF and about the country. And now they go back...? Why?
ReplyDeleteThat is a god question.
DeleteI agreed with anonymous 01:08
They didn't complain about the country. They told the truth about the court, the family and the press just like Diana did. She said exactly the same as Harry. What did this tell us? Nothing changed in 30 years. They probably came back so their kids can get closer to the family and learn about dad's country. It's easier to say we believed Daily Mails lies...
DeleteBecause Harry is British and he wants his children to know what that means. Because Harry is royal and he wants his children to see what that means. Because despite everything Harry loves his Pa and he wants his children to know their grandfather. It is really not that difficult if you look at things with a kind heart. LRB
DeleteIt’s probably more complicated than LRB suggests. We cannot know their rationale fully although time may reveal it. Normally when we live overseas we keep important relationships going the whole time by visits and calls, not break them and leave them broken for years then suddenly restore: this seems like a good side effect reason but unlikely the central rationale.
DeleteI agree with 08:39
DeleteI am sick and tired by those who always think they know the best. What Harry and his father discussed when they saw each other at High Grove will hopefully stay between them.
The courts appear to have believed the Daily Mail as well since they have now awarded substantial damages against Prince Harry and his co defendants.
DeleteI’m pleased that the King will have a chance to get to know his Californian grandchildren, and just wish the press will leave them in peace once it learns they are not going to be working as royals. (Fat chance with the British tabloids, but one can always hope.) The move is important for the children’s future, so they will get to know their father’s family and make influential friends for their future in the high echelons of the British society.
ReplyDeleteAs this is a fashion blog, I’m also excited about seeing more of Meghan’s effortless modern style in the (hopefully fairly few) public occasions she will be seen, such as the Christmas and Easter church, Wimbledon and Ascot. Or perhaps not Ascot, as she did seem pretty horrified about the treatment of horses the only time she was there…
@06.17- Your opinion of the UK is deplorable. You either live in Utopia of cloud cuckoo land.
ReplyDeleteAnd I kept thinking this is a fashion blog. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a Royal blog where you can also comment on fashion. But yes, a lot of ugliness, particularly from Markle supporters, whenever she is mentioned.
Delete12.24 agree!
DeleteAgree too with 12:24
DeleteOh dear. I am shocked what some people write; both pro and con. Let’s be a little less judgmental - the world is hard enough - and truly hope something beautiful comes out of this. If the people involved can get over this, who are we to judge? There is no need to damage anyone, country, family or individuals with harsh words. Nothing we will say will change the outcome; it only makes whatever process these people are going through, harder and less successful. I really hope for the best, for all parties involved, whatever the future brings for them. Let us leave the blame culture behind, please? I promise, if feels so much better (and I am really not without an opinion).
ReplyDelete11:00 very wise
DeleteWhy cant we keep our noses out of their lives? It's ridiculous how much time is wasted by reading (or watching) anything about them. I honestly don't care about where this family lives, etc., but people just can't let them be. Just for a day, put your feet in their shoes and feel the pressure that's put on them.
ReplyDelete11:56 they arranged the press release. They could have come in quietly. Unfortunately this approach causes a lot of eyes on them.
Delete@ 12:25 If they came in quietly as you suggest, they would be accused of trying to 'sneak' in; if they came with a press announcement as they did they're accused of creating 'eyes on them' as you say. So no matter what they do, they're wrong...isn't it?
Delete- Anon 9:13
No I don’t think they would be accused of sneaking in. I think people would be pleasantly relieved to find out they were living quietly, without seeking celebrity, and getting on with establishing a happy home for their kids. It would be in keeping with what they said as they left the UK and would feel much better, like finally doing what they said. I think this would be a very much appreciated path for them here.
DeleteLife is too short the world needs to see forgiveness,hope and love.koodos to Harry and Meghan
ReplyDeleteI am also happy they are returning. In time hoping that him and his brother makes amends. It will never be the same, but just be polite to each other for the sakes of their children.
ReplyDeleteIt is delightful that Harry and his Family are finally returning home. I wish them peace and happiness, love and respect.
ReplyDeleteDelighted. More than happy for the family to reconcile in their own way. Media and Press in all forms should get on with the many other aspects of life in the UK.
ReplyDeleteN’en déplaise à certaines, cette nouvelle ne me dérange pas du tout !
ReplyDeleteKing Charles will not live forever. It has to be extremely hard being a human and King, to put your house in order? We as humans have to remember he to is just a human with emotions for his children. Let him make his peace with all.
ReplyDeleteI think everybody should leave them be!
ReplyDeleteThey make this move in their lives because it is the best decision for THEM. The rest of the world should stop projecting their ideas as truth.
This is none of our business. It's private. Even though they belong to the royal family, they are people with thoughts and feelings.
And don't forget: we all make mistakes in life. Why would that be any different for them?
Let them live their lives and don't pretend to know the ins and outs in this case.
It’s not quite private. Word is they sent out an announcement for two of the larger UK newspapers to release their news and details!
DeleteAnon 12:04 A very sensible and well balanced post. Well done.
DeleteAm Happy For Them. In the first place they should have never left. It's his Birthright. Happy 😊
ReplyDeleteAn excellent idea. The children should bond with their royal relatives and feel as though they are outcasts. Sooner or later, they would have asked about their relatives in the UK. Thus, Harry and Meghan are doing the right thing. It is time to banish these acrimonious problems/relationships as life is too short and we must make the most of it while we are alive and are able to do so.
ReplyDeleteIf I were William, I would protect the Wales children from the Sussexes. If they had no problem with the Prince and Princess of Wales publicly invading their privacy, I wouldn't trust them not to do the same to their children.
DeleteNothing brings out the ugliness like a Meghan post.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Every single time.
DeleteJudge not, lest ye be judged.
ReplyDeleteWhy won't Mr. Sussex first acknowledge how much pain he caused his brother and father and betrayed their trust?
ReplyDeleteDoesnt he? Are you vlies to the family?
DeleteI hope Harry will find his happiness and peace back in the UK. It’s hard at this juncture to imagine Meghan satisfied here (given her history) in the UK but I hope she finds a role within her talents that she can be successful in, finally.
ReplyDelete@Coralie: "why are they coming back?" This is why: https://x.com/RoyalReporter/status/2090789342398595279 . Closer to Daddy, closer to the money, and this is just a first payment. But you all out there (not Coralie) preaching love and peace and forgiveness and all that: don't let yourself be disturbed by nasty facts. .
ReplyDeleteActually we cannot know. No reporter or gossip columnists knows. Only they know.
DeleteSo much has been said already but I feel desperately sorry for King Charles. We don’t know what his health situation is but the stress of H&M return and the inevitable furore it has caused cannot be something he relishes. (It’s on the front page of virtually every UK newspaper today).
ReplyDeleteKing Charles works incredibly hard for someone of his age, who is also dealing with serious health issues. He’s just made it to Balmoral for his much needed and wanted annual break when he’s landed with all the problems having H&M in the country will cause.
It doesn’t matter whether you are pro or anti Team Sussex there are added issues that will arise. These will inevitably take the focus away from the admirable work done by the working members if the family.
Yes they will be back! So nice!…. Such a modern couple. And I hope that all family matters will be solved
ReplyDeleteIf those who are 100% pro Meghan and would like to influence others to appreciate her would write kindly and respectfully, with some openness to learning new facts, they would end up influencing more successfully. As it is when they call other less pro Meghan commenters liars, derangers (sic), bigoted, etc, I’m afraid they make things worse.
ReplyDeleteHow can anybody be 100% pro Meghan given her treatment of her own family. Not just her Dad but people like the uncle who gave her a job as a youngster and wasn’t even asked to her wedding. And the way she has treated her staff over the years And the lies she has told like being married secretly days before the real event.
DeleteEveryone, make your comments, but don’t try to win by convincing others of your opinion or putting others down for theirs. Be kind and respectful, as if you were speaking face to face. Otherwise Meghan posts are really becoming very toxic.
ReplyDeleteCLEARLY this blog doesn't get enough attention UNTIL THE ADMIN POSTS SOMETHING LIKE THIS. Good job everyone for pushing this up the google ladder for all the ads that are here! I'm sure the admin is thrilled because not ONE SINGLE NASTY COMMENT is removed no matter what it's about or who it's about, it gets the bots excited on line and the search engines pick it up and viola! Just like that, a blog that probably a few dozen people regularly look at is suddendly at the top of blog of the day because EVERYONE has an opinion about Harry and Meghan. God Bless them both. God Bless the King. God Bless the Wales. God Bless America! AND MOSTLY GOD BLESS THE BLOGGERS who love to give everyone their opinion of the Sussexes because ofcourse, their opinion is all that matters to us all.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Over 100 comments! About what - royal fashion? Ridiculous.
DeleteThere’s only one blogger here, who does the work to prepare the posts. Others are commenters who do little work but write a few sentences. Yes the most commented posts are those with Meghan, where the most controversial opinions lie.
DeleteExactly! When I critize Kate it is not published…. But now everything is allowed. LOVE THEY COME BACK. Finally a modern person in the UK again!!
DeleteBenieuwd wanneer ze weer de publiciteit zoeken.
ReplyDeleteWe won’t have to wait long, I should imagine.
DeleteFashion comment.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I’m going a bit too fast but I wonder what Duchess Meghan is going to do about a stylist for her European wardrobe?
I think she has worked a lot with the celebrity Californian stylist Jamie Mizrahi.
Maybe this lady will have to look for a new client as the Californian style for day wear which is seen as relaxed, boho, beach-ready, and youth-driven is not at all in tune with London and the English countryside.
For her European wardrobe a stylist will have to look at what is generally seen as polished, chic, classic and timeless.
Exceptions to this are, of course, red carpet and gala evening gowns.
I wish this young family lots of happiness and peace from the Tabloids and I look forward to Helen getting us back to fashion, royal and otherwise.
Interesting thoughts! I think if they come back and lead a quiet private life (let’s hope!) somewhere in the country, she doesn’t need to adapt anything and can just be herself. No need for a stylist or expensive clothes. They are not working royals and don’t need to dress up glamourously as William and Catherine do so well.
DeleteGood question! I'm also eager to see who she favours and who she experiments with. I see Alexander McQueen and many of the European big names (Dior, Gucci, Givenchy, St.Laurent, etc.) especially those she has used before, filling her wardrobe and also some quality High Street brands for casual everyday wear. She's quite a sleek minimalist, and not into loud flashy wear when it comes to evening wear. I'm looking forward to her wearing the odd hat as well now and then, hopefully.

Interesting thoughts. Why would evening gowns be an exception to “ polished, chic, classic and timeless”? But lets anyway hope they find a quiet village and lead a quiet life and have no need for gala wear.
DeleteOne thing is certain--the British royal family is certainly not getting any younger. They need Harry's help, and I hope eventually they will return to duties. Given how the press has treated them these last six years, I don't think it's a smart move.
ReplyDeleteWow this brought out a firestorm of reactions. In a free society one can and should be allowed to have opinions, Question is are we a civilized society in which opinions are excepted and respected if different from one's own.?
ReplyDeletejosebabe
Josebabe, you nailed it. Well done.
DeleteI wish the Sussex's all the very best in this next endeavor. I do find a big disconnect with what the Sussex's both have previously stated in there You tube interviews with for example Oprah. What Harry said in his book 'Spare'. Podcasts Meghan recorded and her personal comments as opposed to the move back to England. I personally believe the nature of the timing interesting. It is a complete 160 turnaround in attitude in wanting to make Britian home and the previous statements they made contrary to this. Regardless it will be a big adjustment particularly for the children, I hope they settle down well.
ReplyDeleteI like this Ava. I’m particularly your use of “160 degree turnaround” which hints at being slightly off kilter, not fully in control, out of balance. I think you meant to write 180, but 160 is probably far truer to the situation.
