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

cultureAug 21, 202621381

Rob Shuter reported on August 20 that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing to move back to the U.K. with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, after more than six years in California. The National Examiner piece reproduced on Yahoo says Princess Kate, 44, is urging Prince William to call a truce with Harry, 41, calling her intervention strategic and aimed at protecting the monarchy rather than restoring a close brotherly relationship. The report quotes a source saying Kate wants public fighting to stop and describes concern that the Sussexes could set up a “rival royal court” alongside William and Kate’s future reign. Coverage cites Harry and Meghan’s decision as notable because Harry had last year said he could not imagine bringing his family back to Britain. Some reports say the couple plan an extended stay beginning this fall and will keep properties in Montecito, California, and in Portugal. Commentators and articles warn the move could intensify public scrutiny and carry risks for the institution if high-profile disputes continue; Kate’s stated priority in the report is to minimize that damage by securing civility between the brothers.

I would not normally comment on the return of Harry and Meghan to the UK, except to say that this presents me with an excellent reason to prolong my *as few newspapers as possible*-summer-routine for another fortnight, as it is safe to assume that the British media will lose their … Again.

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...

Tbh, I couldn’t care less about them but I don’t really understand why everyone seems to hate them. Just leave them alone and let them get on with raising their family and whatever else they do

Cadging from David Bowie, maybe they're afraid of Americans more now than they are of Brits.

Really not nonsense. We have just seen what the gutter press have done to Jason Arday. Meghan has endured their racism for years. Had to flee the country. Her children will now see it too. They will be treated so differently to William's family.

They should just go live in a nice house on the west coast of Scotland. They'll be fine there.

I like Prince Harry. He's done some daft stuff but he has courage and a big heart. Why the wall to wall coverage of him moving home? It really isn't important.

Harry and Meghan return. All these royal ‘experts’. All their ‘insiders’. All the endless writing about them. Yet, to paraphrase the late Queen on the financial crisis - why did no-one see it coming?

Timely reminder to people losing their minds about the return of Harry & Meghan: Keep whining about it online and more Harry and Meghan content will find its way into your feed. Then more Harry and Meghan content will be produced to feed the beast. Don't like them? Just ignore them. They won't care.

Prince Harry is an Arsenal fan. I think we all know the real reason why he’s coming back to the UK.

According to the BBC, Harry & Meghan’s decision was driven by the couple's desire to spend time nearer to Harry's family and wanting to educate their children in the UK. The King is said to welcome the chance to spend more time with them. | Daniela Relph www.bbc.com/news/article... #BlackskyNews
