Did you hear the story about how Oscar producers invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to present Best Picture at the Oscars? For a second, I thought it might actually work out perfectly – Meghan and Harry were in Miami last Thursday and Friday, and maybe they could have flown out to LA from Miami just to do the Oscar circuit. But they did not.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex turned down an invitation to present an award at this year’s Oscars ceremony, HELLO! can reveal. Harry and Meghan were approached to present the award for Best Picture at this Sunday’s 92nd Academy Awards but according to a source, “they were honoured by the request, but declined the invitation”.
It would have been nice to see them at the Oscars, but you know the British media would have had a collective meltdown and Piers Morgan would probably need to be hospitalized. Besides, they might be trying to cultivate an air of exclusivity, which will help them raise their speaking fees if that’s their end goal. Why show up to the Oscars for free when JP Morgan probably paid them mid to high six-figures?
Meanwhile, we have a date for Harry and Meghan’s brief return to England: they’ll return in March for the Commonwealth Service:
The Queen has called Meghan Markle and Prince Harry back from their glamorous new life to attend a Commonwealth Service, it has been reported today. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to Canada after announcing they were quitting as royals and becoming “financially independent”. But the 93-year-old monarch has reportedly asked them to return to the UK next month for the service at Westminster Abbey.
If the couple attend the March 9 event, it will be the first royal engagement for Meghan, 38, since they quit. And the Sunday Times reported the couple will make a round of final official engagements in March before returning back to North America.
Most recently, Harry made his first public appearance at JPMorgan’s Miami billionaire’s summit, where the sixth-in-line to the throne gave a speech – rumoured to have been paid $1million plus expenses for the gig. But the Sunday Times reported the Queen was “remarkably unfazed” by the couple’s new life. She has told friends: “If that’s what they want, if they want to go, we must let them go.”
There was one headline suggesting that the Queen “called back” Harry, Meghan AND Archie. Which just reminds me of the fact that Meghan was so sick of England, she left her baby in Canada when she and Harry briefly returned to England in January. If Archie goes to England next month, it will be his first time back in 2020. As for Harry and Meghan returning… I kind of wonder if Meghan will pull out at the last minute or something. We’ll see.

I hope she tells them to kick rocks and turns it down.
The Brits are completely unhinged.😟😟
On a Channel 5 Jeremy Vine show, a caller actually referred to Meghan a “f***** b***”.😡
On live TV.😶
I can’t wait for Scottish independence and Irish reunification.
King Billy Balding & his court, will pay for their treatment of these two.👎👎
A much diminished throne, within a multi racial country in an age of less deference is what he deserves.
Goodness, those people are such racists trash.
I’m so happy Harry and Meghan took their kid and got out.
And for their sake I hope they stay out. I beg to differ from the article but I think the smallest reason baby Archie was left behind was because MM was sick of England. As I don’t see with an air blasé Harry having returned to Canada with his wife to come back again to UK to discuss the terms of the exit.
Just like Thomas Markle, these people are proving even more every minute exactly why she wants nothing more to do with them.
You do realise that the Scottish are also Brits, right? So you’re trying to say that the English are unhinged? Again with the xenophobia. Are Americans also unhinged because of the man the call president? Does he represent the American people as a whole?
Nahema, I hear what you’re saying, and you’re right- not all English (or British!) people are unhinged. HOWEVER, the current political climate in the UK is, well….pretty xenophobic. The majority of English people (esp. over age 30) supported Boris in the most recent election, a well-documented racist and liar. As someone living in the UK, regressive ideas about class, race and foreigners are the norm. Progressive thinking is frowned on as annoying and “too politically correct”. Pretty unhinged imho.
Nahema, I might be an American but I’m Scottish af in my ancestry and you’re just being a semantic a-hole. You know exactly what they meant and you’re just looking for a fight. Scottish people have British passports but that does not mean we are British at heart. Hence the heavy push for independence. Maybe pick up a history book to better understand the current political climate.
Signed, a Dunbar.
@ Sass
Thank you.👊👊
Wow, is it necessary to be so horrible @sass? I have to agree that the whole generalising thing gets out of hand on here and the way the comment was posted certainly does imply that Scottish were not British. To label entire nations for the actions of a few is unfair. Britain and the US both have terrible issues with racism and xenophobia. It’s not a competition but pointing out one set of prejudice with another prejudice doesn’t help anyone
@Sass, thank you.
The DM now has a Meghan bashing article with Germaine Greer saying Meghan “never loved” harry. Disgusting. They just won’t let up and all the usual green arrow the trash talk.
Germaine Greer —- don’t get me started. She proclaims herself such a feminist and yet constantly finds ways to publicly bash other women to get her name in the media.
The Sussexes have stated publicly —on their website — and Harry has reiterated in his speech — that they support the Queen. I think the Sussexes will show up together as the Queen has asked them to, especially as they will keep their roles as President and Vice President in the Commonwealth Trust and this is a Commonwealth service. I read that Harry will also meet with several groups including attending a dinner for Royal Marines where Princess Anne will also attend. He will step down and Anne will assume the honorary command at the dinner. I see the Sussexes bringing Archie, staying a week or two and both meeting with various groups they are involved with now that dust is settling.
On another note, looking at the above photos of Meghan — she looks so relaxed and lovely in every shot above. Lovely clothing choices. Looking at this group of photos made me realize how very stiff and formal the Cambridge’s almost always look…..like they want to be any where but where they are at.
I never heard of this nasty piece of work. I skimmed down to their comments section and saw that a reader referred to her mouth as a puckered anus in the middle of her face. It can not be unseen now. Lol.
So many white feminists have showed their a**.
I am not defending Greer at all. But do remember that she was on a TV show and the Fail just picked bits of what she said out of context to make it look like Greer somehow hates Meghan. Greer wasn’t talking directly to the Fail
Germaine Greer is a prime example of why so many Black women don’t embrace feminism. Too many feminists use women of colour when it furthers their cause and then turn on us because they can’t hide their racism. The ugliness of Greer’s outside doesn’t begin to match the ugliness inside.
America IS unhinged!
It’s really frustrating. I’m not kidding. People want to deny health care to the poorest. It’s total BS.
They want to get “theirs” and don’t even see how they are getting screwed over themselves. BAH.
I’ve heard enough from old white dudes. And Germaine Greer. And the Fail!
I bet they don’t bring Archie.
What does “b***” rhyme with? I don’t know this word. Does it rhyme with “itch” and just one asterisk is missing?
I’m not sure, but perhaps a British slang word that rhymes with “hint”, which means “b**ch” or “w**re”. It isn’t a curse word, but it certainly isn’t nice, respectful, or kind. It is demeaning and horribly sexist.
“Look…you can’t proclaim yourself king just because some moistend b*nt lobbed a scimitar at you.” – Monty Python, Holy Grail.
It could be ‘berk’ – an abbreviation of “Berkeley Hunt.” Which is rhyming slang for…
Don’t worry. King Billy, the Kid, is having a daily trainning in arrogance and entitlement. And, like Harry Potter, he’s exceeding expectations.
Yeah…no way they’re bringing baby Archie back to that nightmare with them!
I don’t think Harry and Meghan will keep their baby away from his paternal grandparents.
Harry only have one living parent to provide, Prince Charles. I am sure The Queen wants to see all The Sussexs but she likely won’t live long enough to have a substantial relationship with Archie or Louis it any of the great grandkids that are still babies. At her age, it’s likely the grandchildren themselves that she wants to spend time with while taking a gander at the babies. She wasn’t even hands on with her own children.
You mean the guy who stood quietly by while his grandson was compared to a chimp?
Prince Charles and his court were active participants in the Meghan smear campaign. CH, together with BP and KP were collaborators in doing things that resulted in driving the Sussexes out. He might not have been a ring leader but that doesn’t absolve him either. As they say, actions speak louder than words. As the wise MLK said: In the end, we remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.
Archie has a paternal grandfather, His paternal grandmother is dead. Camilla is his step grandmother. Diana should not be airbrushed out. Harry did make a point of bringing his mother’s sisters to pose with the family at Archie’s Christening He clearly made a statement about how he feels about Diana by inviting his aunts. Harry will certainly tell Archie about DIana. Camilla is not the grandmother and never can be.
@Betsy, if Charles wants to see Archie, he can get on a private jet and visit.
I don’t think Meghan will pull out at the last minute, she seems like someone who behaved in a polite/classy manner even in difficult situations like this. Also I don’t think we would be getting this trailed if Harry and Meghan weren’t both a lock for this event.
I do think we’ll see something similar to the Sussex Summit, where Meghan comes for this one event and then returns to Canada immediately afterwards, while Harry stays behind for a few more events. I can’t say I blame her.
I think they will do some other engagements but l suppose they can’t stay away for long because of the dogs.
“Called back” from their “glamorous new life” hee, the passive aggression!
I’ll be interested to see whether they leave Archie at home again – that’s a really long flight for a little guy- and also as a gesture of “you’re not getting him”.
Yep – I saw that too! 😂
yep. the little digs just never stop.
Yes, very passive aggressive.
“Piers Morgan would probably need to be hospitalized.”
@Kaiser – Piers Morgan needs to be hospitalized immediately and Harry-Meghan presenting an award at the Oscars really has nothing to do with it.
The Academy wanted the SussexRoyal at the ceremony for the same reason The Daily Fail will not leave them alone: Rating$ and click$. According to NPR the ratings for this year’s Oscars telecast was the lowest ever.
I am not sure I believe the offer was ever made as Hello! is just as bad at fan fiction as Tatler.
Meghan and Harry probably will do other events while in the UK which I am looking forward to.
Yes, I agree. 🙂
They won’t pull’out But I doubt they’ll bring Archie back into that toxic environment.
I don’t think they’ll bring Archie back either. I think a lot of their move is about protecting him. And I think Harry has learned to see his family in a v diff light, people who are not protectors but rather people you need to be protected from… I think he sees his Mom’s struggles in a different light too…
That picture of Meghan in the blue dress … gosh, she’s such a stunning woman. I miss photographs of her.
I love that dress too. To be honest, I don’t like a lot of what any of the royals wear but that dress is perfect!
Will probs leaked this early so that itll look bad if they dont go.
Bingo
I low-keyed wanted them to do the Oscars and get a rousing standing ovation. But yea, they decided to go high and I respect that.
I think they will return in March and visit some patronages. They will bring their A game, hold their tongue and smile and show up for pictures. These two are professionals and a solid team.
I appreciate them (I am a monarchist), but an ovation why? Because they are royals.
Because they were hounded out of the UK by the media AND the royal family for committing the crime of falling in love and wanting to create a life of meaningful service instead of cowtowing to Bad Willie.
no @line, because they stood up to racism and bullying in a concrete manner. Because they said, enough. Because Harry stands by his chosen woman and his beloved son. Because they said being royal does not mean we accept the ‘norm’.
Because they saw the incest that is the ‘royal rota’ aka ‘The Cartel’ and said, this is wrong. Because ……oh, honey, because for the moment they are pretty much the only light in a world gone dark with anger, fear, and ugliness.
Because they bravely stood up against a racist monarchy
Admittedly they rejected the institutions but it was only for their own good, because ultimately the institution will fundamentally remain the same. The famous ones like they succeeded in defeating apartheid, for me is totaly counterproductive because honestly the simple reason for which The Sussex are solemnized more than other people who have experienced the same thing it is because they are royal.
This is my problem, their can be ovations but for me is when will they do something that deserves ovations.
“You may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise”. Maya Angelou
It would be an applause of triumph. If only more people had empathy the world would be a better place.
RoyalBlue dit:
My point of view is not hateful or without compassion but I find that it is just exaggerating. Maybe she is American she did not know what she was going to engaged on, but the royal family forever was an institution based on imperialism, racist and the maintenance of the the nobles british establishment. They don’t want change, Diana’s treatment and her tragic end is the best example of this. Also Meghan has come the same time of Brexit. The Brexit just increased xenophobia and racism. I was happy for theirs they decide to leave this situation but I find it hard to understand this adultation,
especially since they left they have done absolutely nothing in relation to the racists that others people face apart from themselves.
Line, are you also lirael/lisel/lili?
They ‘left’ three weeks ago. Did you expect them to tackle all racism in the world solo in that time? BTW Meghan has already met with Justice for Girls. Go look up their work.
I am not sure what the point of your statement is @line? What would you expect them to do to “change” the royal family? And they cannot participate in politics so….? But anyway, I disagree with you that they did not do anything to address the racism. They helped to expose the toxic royal/aristo racist mindset in a way that has not been done. The easiest thing to do was to just ride it out and ignore what was going on in exchange for occasionally wearing a tiara. The curtain has been pulled back and we are paying attention to what is happening and that is why they do not like it. They may not change but they cannot keep the racist mind sets hidden because a lot of people are looking at them in a new way.
Sorry, the public no waiting the arrived of Meghan into the British monarchy to exposed by the racist of the institution of royal family. So, see again your history books.Then in my comment, I made it clear that I would rather wait until they do something really tangible charitywork with theirs new life before worshiping them for anything. To conclude, stoping to thinks that all critical about Meghan and Harry is made by racist trolls. I have already posted comments on this site and so very little for the Sussex and in my comments there was nothing offensive and racist towards them, it’s just my opinion.
‘especially since they left they have done absolutely nothing in relation to the racists that others people face apart from themselves’
Again, line, you’re demanding they do something to fix global racism when they left only three weeks ago. Harry created Sentebale, he created Invictus. Things with global impact, created outside his royal role. Worth admiring and watching. In two years, Meghan accomplished more for her charities than Kate has done in 10 years. That alone makes Meghan worth watching and admiring.
@line since when is applauding two ppl who have been unfairly denigrated, maligned, abused, humiliated, and publicly ridiculed and dehumanized “worshiping” them?
It’s not that much of a stretch to witness someone else’s misery and feel a sense of joy/admiration for them when you see them come out on the other side of all the storms still in tact with their dignity and sense of resilience.
People with any sense of empathy and an understanding of the ordeal HM have just experienced realize a standing ovation by a room full of Hollywood elites and risers is a collective stand in solidarity with a couple who’s chosen a life more sensible to their values. It would be a show of support that indicates “we see what those toxic aholes did/doing to you, and it’s bs. You deserve better, and we’re glad you’ve chosen a new path”. That has nothing to do with worshipping anyone. It’s 100% support they deserve and likely, need, as any of us would appreciate having if we too experienced what they have. Hollywood, unlike most other places, also can relate to the their struggles as it relates to unbalanced press scrutiny.
@line says, “since they left they have done absolutely nothing in relation to the racists that others people face apart from themselves”. Honestly, you gotta be fcking kidding me, @line. According to you, they don’t deserve adulation or ovations, but they are suppose to be JC, Mother T, MLK and Mahamta G, all in a few weeks without taking time to get their own lives in order. Did you not read that they just made a major life change? I guess not. Unbelievable.
Totally agree RoyalBlue. They will attend and bring their A game. Meghan is a pro no matter what Piers and the Rabid Rota want to write and scream.
I had an idea about what a royal rota was, but I really learned about it on Sussex’s site. I was beside myself when I realized against what those two fought.
And I’m very surprised they could get so clean out of this bucket of s**t.
It’s not a matter of tradition at all. I mean, it must have a bit of tradition, you know, “we always did it”. But it’s a matter of money. Loads of it; tons of it. Can you imagine how much “staff” and/or “household” get paid for press leaking ?? Or the people think everything is just for love???
If a nobody Toxic Thomas got 50K or 100 K for staged pictures, imagine how much the household is receiving to hint about a good, juicy and fat gossip? The eternal “sources”! And Harry wanted to put an end to it??!! I’m surprised he still has the skin.
Lucy I bet the crown is as corrupt as Andy. Any organization that secretive about its finances has something to hide. God knows how many Slimy cretins are on its payroll.
I think it’ll be the same as the visit earlier this year. They’ll leave Archie in Canada, Meghan will only go for a few days at most, and Harry will be there a bit longer, perhaps a week or two.
I think Meghan will also stay longer as well because she also still has her patronages and a lot of their foundation staff is still there in UK. If they do stay a while, they’ll bring the baby ( hopefully). She takes her work very seriously and is professional in that regard. Her leaving so soon after the Canada House / resignation statement was because her staying would have made her too much of a target and it was better to be away. I think it will be slightly different now, even if just for their peace of mind. Regardless, all eyes will be on her and miles of columns printed. Will they have to be in UK for the lawsuit trial?
Given that the British media is now blaming Meghan for the break up of Peter and Autumn marriage, by “inspiring” encouraging Autumn to move back to Canada, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Meghan decided to pass.
Add in Germaine Greer is saying that “Meghan is “faking” her love for Harry, and that their wedding was “not real””…WTAF????? (I refused to click on the article, so I can’t fill in other details. Perhaps another CBer has a stronger stomach, or has had more coffee than I have!
The BM are really scraping under rocks to find shit to sling as far as H&M are concerned.
Germaine Greer had her 15 minutes of fame 50 years ago. She’s devolved into a Camille Paglia-ish bitter old hag whose relevance faded away long ago, and she’s now flinging poo in a gin-induced haze at whoever can attract the most attention to herself.
Is Germaine Greer in bed with Piers Morgan???…………..No wait……..forget I made that statement because the literal thought is too ugly and disturbing for any mind to imagine let alone unthink!
The DM is keeping this up. I think Peter and Autumn broke up all on their own.
Click goes the mouse boys! Click! Click! Click!
And all the time Piers is singing Click! Click! Click!
I like the reporting that Archie will be attending the service. Like, sure Jan. Of course the 10 month old is going to attend the service. What are these people thinking?
I’m sure they’ll go and they’ll bring Archie (to the UK, not the church service, lol). They have indicated that they do intend to return to the UK at times, hence keeping Frogmore, but I imagine at first it will prob be for short little visits like this, and then maybe some longer periods of time if those visits go well (family-wise).
Hi-larious. Archie summoned to duty as if he is a working royal. WTH, are they calling up George and the rest of the gang too.
I personally think that genuine cruelty was thrown at Meghan, all they said about no baby, baby was with a surrogate, Pies Morgan that old fart, who slaps at anything that will bring him a buck. The media, The Queen, Camilla, William and Kate none supported this young family, none treated them with the respect they deserved Meghan out fashioned the whole lot with beautiful clothing, While Kate looks like a flipping coat hanger, if she gets any thinner she will be anorexic, I hope she isn’t, William thinks he is always right. How about George calling himself Archie before the baby was even born. and Charles just listens to Mummy. I think Harry made the right choice for his family, Royalty really failed Harry and Meghan,and so did the press.
The Queen is flexing. Haha
Now if only she’d flexed when it actually mattered
WORD.
Truth. Only flexes when it benefits her or the direct line heirs. Screw everyone else.
She won’t back out. She’ll go because she’s a professional. Even at the height of the abuse, she worked for the Firm. And her charities need to know she still wants to be their patron. There’s no reason to leave Archie in Canada if they are going to be in the U.K. for a week or two. Charles probably wants to see him. Seeing as imo William is the main agitator, Harry won’t shun him.
Agree. They’ll play nice and deliver on their end, even if the others won’t.
Lolol at Charles not being a main culprit in the media smear campaign when Robert Jobson, Charles right-hand media man, came out with multiple bs nasty articles about Meghan.
William might have been the agitator but no one stopped prince Charles from refuting even one of the fake stories. They all willingly and happily participated in the smear campaign. They all thought the more pressure they applied would result in a miscarriage and thus Meghan leaving Harry. None of them ever thought Harry would grab his little family and run for the hills,they all underestimated Harry. Yeah, prince Charles can kick rocks too.
They still have a U.K. home& U.K. based patronage’s& are President& Vice President of the Queens Commonwealth Trust so no surprise they will be back in the U.K.
And in context of QCT roles being back for Commonwealth Day service makes sense& was probably always the plan. Weren’t there reports that they still had U.K. engagements& transition to being non working members started in the spring?
Exactly.
I’m glad they declined to present at the Oscars. It would have been as out of place as Eminem’s performance and I believe it would have taken some attention away from Parasite’s historic win.
@Cey, Eminem’s performance was one of the highlights of this year’s dreary show. If Harry and Meghan had presented, the world would have seen just how much support they have. And I’m sure the Parasite crew would have been delighted to welcome comrades in the fight against bigotry and White supremacy.
I think M&H covered all issues before they left for Canada. If Archie goes to England, Doria goes too. No one can be trusted in the BRF toxic community.
As to Piers, he was fired from CNN US, low ratings. Intolerable human being on both continents.
I hope Meghan doesn’t go. Either way the media is chopping at the bits. The Brits are ANNOYING as F
The Archie part is hilarious. They want to push that Meghan and Harry are keeping Archie from the RF even though I’m sure they never saw him when he WAS in London.
I see Meghan attending because she is a professional.
I’m sure this was arranged long ago. These comments always try to make it appear the wayward Sussex clan have to be reigned in. I think they’ll bring Archie I’m sure great grand mama and grandpa at least want to see him.
Please. I don’t think the queen wants a damn thing to do with Archie. She would have said something if she did. She is a horrible horrible woman who doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near that baby. One day Archie is going to read all this concerning his birth and the beginning of his parents marriage. I wonder how much he will want to do with the queen?
I hope if they are forced to drag Archie w/ them to meet Her Maj, the first thing out of Harry’s mouth is to ask his granny why she was okay with his son being called a chimp by the press she’s so damn desperate to keep on side?
But then perhaps that was already canvassed during the Sandringham Summit.
The current Queen will be dead by then. Hopefully, he can address his questions to his grandfather, The King.
Why this urgency for the royal family to see them, they barely had time for them when they lived nearby *eyeroll. Besides, after whaat happened to Kobe and the plane crashes this year, I am terrified of flying. I hope meghan and harry don’t do this back and forth kind of thing, maybe the royals should visit them. And good for them for declining the oscars, the british media would have had a field day about it if they had. Although I love the oscars.
There’s a world of difference between flying in helicopters and getting on a commercial flight. The helicopter pilot was flying low to the ground in fog without IFR (instrument flight rules), only VFR (visual flight rules) and was not supposed to be flying under those conditions. He actually broke FAA regulations meant to prevent just such kinds of accidents. Mr. Jaded was a helicopter pilot for many years and right after the accident his comment was “the pilot should NOT have been flying under those conditions, he was clearly flying visually and simply smacked into a mountainside.” So don’t let this scare you about getting on commercial flights, your chances of being in a car accident are a million times greater than a plane crash.
I know some squadies are upset about them going back for this but I’m not all that bothered. It shows they’re the bigger person and that they they’re still supporting the Queen ( as they said in that statement) and it’s for the Commonwealth: and they’re still a President and Vice President of Queens Commonwealth trust. I’m sure they’ll meet with their patronages and get some work done.It shows they are still committed to the causes they care about, even if a lot of the establishment doesn’t care about them. They have no reason to hide. Cue the body language experts and Piers is sharpening his little claws abd salivating in his bunker. Yeah, the Royal family are using them a bit and the Rota are so bitter, but the Sussexes aren’t beholden to this crew anymore. It makes a big difference in ones viewpoint. They’ll also be back in Europe for Invictus games in May. They have a foundation to build and work to do, so avoiding the BRF completely is just unrealistic.
@L4frimaire I agree completely. They won’t be able to avoid the RF completely. Them still having Frogmore is proof of that.
When they are financially independent, they can ignore them all they want. After The Queen dies, I see that happening. Charlie’s isn’t going to demand anything of Harry that he doesn’t want to do, little less Meghan.
I think a lot of people will turn out to cheer them.
@PrincessK . I really hope that’s the case. and I hope it makes all their haters SEETH.
I dont think she’ll skip this as Meghan is a professional. She did her duties before their decision despite lack of support+bullying from media. I think they’ll bring Archie too as they’ll spend time doing other things.
I’m more curious about why they announced this months before!🤔its almost like they’re begging for H&M😏 or perhaps think they cant refuse now that its public
This is just me being petty, but I would’ve tossed back the QCT positions back if I were them. If I can’t be a part working royal at least keep it and find someone else to fill the roles. I can do work in commonwealth countries regardless.
So much this. I wonder if this was part of the segue plan, or an ostrich, heads-in-sand punt move, and if H&M are supposed to hold those posts until Chaz ascends the throne? Of course that puts Chaz in the position of begging the son he alienated via RR leaks to continue in the role, or look like a shitty father for taking the role away and giving it elsewhere. If they didn’t want the Crown to look even worse than it does now, they’d have let them make a clean break from all of it.
They might have been willing to give the QCT positions back, but the BRF would have looked even worse if that had happened. The people of The Commonwealth are watching.
Exactly! The Queen , Charles and William know they must tread carefully….people around the world are appalled at the way Meghan has been treated.
Why bring Archie back for a brief visit?
Maybe to see his great grandparents, grandparents, aunts uncles and cousins?
Really? He’s a baby and I doubt seeing those people will have any impact on his well-being or sense of familial belonging. Besides, it’s obvious they don’t give a sh*t about him or one of the two most important people in his life.
“It would have been nice to see them at the Oscars, but you know the British media would have had a collective meltdown and Piers Morgan would probably need to be hospitalized.”
Damn. That was a missed opportunity then.
Looking at the photos above, she brought such a modern approach to dressing for her appearances. She just looks great. I know people go on sometimes about her clothes and the fit, just most of that seems to be during pregnancy and postpartum I’m looking forward to their visit next month.
I think the being called back by the queen works if their favour this time.
The crazy idiots are now happy that the queen demands them back and they will have to come.
They were probably going to come anyway.
If they just came without announcing, you can imagine the media headlines
How dare they come back, they wanted out they should stay out
Meghan ruins the day again – demands to be at the commonwealth event.
Meghan the uppity diva steals spotlight from queen
Meghan pulls Kate’s hair @ commonwealth event
Ugh. Remember how every weekend, there would be some horrible story about them in the tabloids? Right when they’re supposed to come back, some infuriating hateful story will show up and we get to see all the Cambridge stans gloating and concern-trolling. Or Thomas Markle will be dragged out again.
I know the best thing is to rise above the pettiness and let karma do its work but I do kind of hope the Sussexes have their own bombshell and won’t just bare their necks for that horrible family.
My prediction is that Meghan will come back, but only for a few days – three – at most. If the story that she has panic attacks while being in England is true, she won’t stay there longer than she has to. She do the event, check in with her patronages, and then be out.
Archie will stay in Canada, and Meghan and Harry might even ask her mom Doria to come up and watch/be with him until she can get home. Sorry, I don’t think Meghan or Harry gives two sh*ts what the UK press will say about it, they aren’t going to bring her baby to a country that treats Meghan and Archie the way they do, (and where he was called a monkey when he was barely 3 days old), to the point it may be making her ill. The idea that a barely year old baby has been “summoned” to come is patently ridiculous and hilarious. The tabs just want more non copyright pictures of him they can sell, and Harry and Meghan will NOT indulge them in that. Plus, he is too young to attend such an event anyway.
I see Harry staying a bit longer, like a week, before he returns back to Canada too.
IMO KP leaked that they are coming (the nonsense about being “summoned” makes me think so). Don’t know why they leaked it, maybe to try and intimidate/get back at the more the JP Morgan thing, IDK. Whatever. Harry and Meghan will go because they are classy, and will continue to be so when they have to do events with the Royal Family. However, IMO, they will never stay very long when the go over to the UK to do so, Archie will NEVER be a factor in these events (and will usually be left in Canada) unless he *chooses* to be a part of them when he gets older, and that’ll be it.
I personally don’t see them ever returning to live in the UK in any significant way again. That’s one of the many reasons they are living in *western* Canada, not eastern IMO. (You don’t move further away from a place you are supposedly going to spend half your time in. A +12 hour flight? No way). Little visits to the UK for their patronages and to attend events like this, but that’s it.
Harry and Meghan will go because I’m sure it was agreed upon before. Also, they still get monies from Prince Charles until their speaking engagements make money.
I’m the end, I think they will not stay in England a moment longer than they have to.
I don’t buy this story about their being asked to present at the Oscars. Don’t they normally ask previous winners to do that? And Jane Fonda presented Best Picture; she’s *Hollywood* royalty, she’s won two Oscars herself, and she’s been a prominent political activist for four decades. I just don’t think she was the event organisers’ second choice.
Agree, it’s just tabloid nonsense. They have to coordinate those celebrities schedules weeks, if not months in advance so they know who will be coming. I can’t see them offering a presentation to them at the last minute.
I hope that Archie stays in Canada, where he’s safe. The Sussexes don’t owe the British people the lifeblood of their baby.
Once again the Queen is tossing the Sussex family to the mob to cover the ‘rehabilitation’ of her beloved sex offender son.
I can’t hate on the Queen. She’s not even pretending to be a decent human being anymore. But she knows her people. She KNOWS that when it comes down to a choice between an accused sex offender and a Black woman and child, her people will invite the sex offender for Sunday dinner.
@sass I’m a Dunbar too!
I remember reading back in early January that Meghan will not begin any engagements until March. I think Meghan and Harry decided on their bombshell announcement which coincides with Meghan’s return to engagements. They will be required to come back for certain things related to their patronages. Meghan was given 3 of them. Harry I don’t know how many. This is the wrap-up before the beginning of spring the next week. Spring begins on March 19th. If they bring Archie back I hope Meghan’s momma comes to babysit Archie while his parents are finishing engagements.
The queen and Charles could show how helpful they are to Meghan and Harry by sending some sort of signals to the press to behave and be polite during this transition. If they really cared about their well-being they could do this to make things easier for everyone involved.
So which will be the first faux pas Meghan will be accused of during this event:
1. Making Kate cry;
2. Convincing Autumn to move back to Canada;
3. Refusing to let Charles see Archie; or
4. Not curtsying deep enough in front of the Queen?
