Prince Harry and Meghan reportedly set to return to the UK at end of August

Rob Shuter reported on August 20 that Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan Markle, 45, are preparing to move back to the U.K. with their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, more than six years after they stepped back as senior working royals. The report, published on the Naughty But Nice Substack and carried by National Examiner on Yahoo, says Princess Kate, 44, is pushing Prince William to call a truce with Harry not out of forgiveness but to protect the monarchy and limit public infighting. The source quoted by Shuter described Kate as the "voice of reason," focused on stopping further public battles that feed the narrative of a permanently divided royal family. Shuter’s piece also says the Sussexes are reportedly planning a "rival royal court" that could sit alongside William and Kate’s future reign, a development Kate wants to head off. The return follows repeated public estrangement since their 2020 departure and raises questions about how the senior royals will manage shared public attention and institutional reputation if the move goes ahead.

I think it’s big mistake for H and M to return; not because I think they should be shunned, or outcast, but because they and their kids will face an unbearable deluge of abuse. It’s shameful, disgusting and abhorrent, how they are hounded. The haters will kill them. www.bbc.com/news/article...
