No, the Cambridges will not ‘stay’ with the Sussexes during next year’s trip

Prince William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge Visit Magee University

One of the few things I believe from Christopher Andersen’s new royal book is that Prince Harry and Prince William’s relationship has never recovered in any way, shape or form. I think they only communicate through aides and third-parties. I think William burns incandescent with rage at the thought of Harry and Meghan’s lives right now. I think William is still beyond pissed that he can’t control them or dictate their movements or smear them whenever he wants. It’s also pretty funny that William and Kate seem hellbent on making themselves happen in America. The Keens want to be accepted and loved in the American market too, just like Harry and Meghan. Will and Kate still plan to bring Earthshot to America next year, and Us Weekly is still talking about whether the Sussexes and Cambridges will see each other:

Family reunion? Prince William and Duchess Kate are set to travel to the United States for the first time since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the U.K. for her native country. However, it is “somewhat unlikely” that the Fab Four will all stay together at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s California home during the visit, according to royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti.

“It’s like so many of these things — it’s a sort of lose-lose situation,” the British journalist exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this week. “If they get invited and they decline, it seems petty and nasty. And if they don’t get invited, it seems petty and nasty from the other side. And if they do accept such an invitation and something goes terribly wrong, that seems like a bad idea. I can’t quite see how this would work.”

[From Us Weekly]

As Harry said in the Oprah interview, they need space. Let that happen. Stop trying to force Harry and William into a room with one another. And no, I don’t even see the Sussexes extending an invitation to the Cambridges for Earthshot or anything else. If Will and Kate want to visit – lol, they don’t – then they better stay in a hotel. What’s also funny is that if and when the Cambridges do visit America, they’re going to be inundated with these types of questions: will you see your brother, have you met your niece, who is the royal racist, why did your trusted aide leak his emails to the press, etc? Instead of entering the American market with a clean slate, the Keens will be haunted by all of the sh-t they did to the Sussexes because the American media will REMIND them and ask about it openly.

    I really don’t think they will receive a good reception here. If they do any events in public, I would fully expect some pushback. People yelling “rude” things and/or signs about how we abolished the monarchy already… just seems like a bad idea all around.

    • FC says:

      True no one likes them here, but also worth remembering that the Queen is only get older and sicker. God knows what her physical state will look like next year, and that will drive a sympathetic narrative for the Cambridges no matter how awful and racist they are.

      • em says:

        They better stay home then, because how can she be sick and her beloved grandchildren are galavanting the US? If harry and Meg were petty they would return to england at the exact time to see granny,.

      • FC says:

        @em I was really hoping H&M would have returned to visit the sick Queen when Will and Kate took that super secret vacation. Same energy. 🙂

    • Chloe says:

      I beg to differ. I think they’ll get quite a good reception. Especially from the MAGAts and white liberals a lá Emily Griffin.

      • Snuffles says:

        That won’t be a good look if they’re hanging with MAGA types. They want the Hollywood and business elite kissing their ass, and those type are largely pro-Sussex.

      • em says:

        They dont want that kind of attention though

      • Kfg says:

        No one likes them. I really don’t think Earthshit will happen again. It was a failure and no one even knows the winners. Also considering it’s about being environmentally conscious, why fly here? They’re dull and lame and once Harry’s book drops, they’re going to be in hiding.

      • ML says:

        Yeah, some of my family members’ brains (I apologize in advance) were literally warped by Trump, and some of those relatives prefer the RF to H&M! I was shocked, but it’s true. Maybe because the “nonpolitical” RF hangs out with all sorts of conservatives in Britain and prefers to employ people from the Tories? I do agree that attracting MAGAts as opposed to the general public is not the look they’re publicly willing to portray.

      • goofpuff says:

        @ML it pretty much confirms that the MAGATs were not talking about democracy or freedom, but white supremacy. Otherwise why prop up the british monarchy so much? They are the symbol of white supremacy.

      • anne says:

        @chloe They won’t get a good reception from the press and that’s what people pay attention to. American journalists aren’t going to kow-tow to them like the UK tabloids do. And W&K would never deign to associate with the people who do “support” them. @snuffles is right — the people they want to associate with are the same ones who work and support H&M: business leaders, companies like Netflix, and heavy-hitters like Oprah. And those people will NEVER align themselves with W&K because they know they can’t do or say anything of importance because of their position.

      • Pat says:

        Harry and Meghan are doing good things with some of Hollywood’s biggest movers and shakers. They hear good things about them and many have worked with Harry up close and personal over the years. I think people like that have formed their opinions on the Sussex already, they have likely heard things about Will that wasn’t necessarily good. Hollywood didn’t just start Not being interested in working with Will. There was reasons beforehand and looking at the hate campaign against Meghan and Harry the past few years and now the press is actually saying the royals brief against each other, and KP briefed more against Meghan is simply not going to win the Cambridge’s Hollywood’s royalty anytime soon. They still don’t have any interest in working with Will.

    • HeyJude says:

      Honestly, I’m not a big protester person, but if they scheduled an appearance in my city I’d come out to protest.

      These are some of the most twisted, heinous, and destructively racist people on earth, with totally unearned but toxic influence on powerful people.

      And they tried to kill one of ours in Meghan by denying her urgently needed crisis care. These Brits can eff all the way off. They are not welcome here.

      Honestly I’m ready to buy chests of British tea and throw it in the nearest harbor.

      • Nick G says:

        Call me. I will drive down from Canada with my placards to join you.

      • Surly Gale says:

        Nick G and I will drive down from Canada with our placards to join you. I bet there’s many a Canadian who will too.
        Tho’ I do really like a good, solid Yorkshire Gold cuppa after work before starting supper, I’ll give it up for the cause and toss it into the harbour if I must to make our point clear. Abolish the monarchy. Give all the money we send to England to First Nations to get them water (!!), housing, electricity, internet and safe passage through the Highway of Tears for women (cameras, lighting etc. which all need electricity so use the money for them). I’m in.

  2. Merricat says:

    Like shooting fish in a barrel. Come on over, Cambridges!

  3. MsIam says:

    I think the Jason email escapade has ended any steps toward reconciliation, if there were any to begin with. Whether its a permanent end only time will tell.

  4. Amy Bee says:

    Kate got a little taste of what is going to happen, if they decide to tour the US, when she had that engagement with Jill Biden. With that in mind, I don’t believe that William and Kate will make the trip to the US to attend the Earthshot Awards. William will join via video link. William and Kate have to do a lot of things before there can be any reconciliation and I’m not sure Harry and Meghan trust them enough to want to reconcile. William and Kate are in the same boat as Thomas Markle. One thing was for sure that the press and KP were hoping for a reconciliation at the statue unveiling but Harry wasn’t having it. I don’t think there’s anyway that the relationship can be salvaged. I think what happened to Meghan was the last straw for Harry and his relationship with his brother and they stopped being close a long time ago.

    • Pentellit says:

      William and Kate are in the same boat as Thomas Markle. LMAO. William and Kate, Chuck, the Palace will soon realize they will need the goodwill of Harry and Meghan to repair their reputations. Remember when Charles allegedly said the balcony at Buckingham Palance is getting too small. Hmmm…perhaps for the “black” babies, but pretty soon they will all want a photo op holding these mixed race babies. Wait for it!

      • Emmitt says:

        No, they won’t. William, Kate nor Charles wants Archie & Lili on that balcony. For what? So the press can oogle over Archie and Lili and ignore the 3 Cambridge children?

    • BeanieBean says:

      I agree with an earlier commenter: there won’t be a second Earthsh*t award show. William can’t sustain anything, can’t provide follow-up, loses interest, etc.
      I also think it’s hilarious that anyone would suggest the RF stay with family when they travel, like us regular folk do. They’re not going to put Will & Kate in the spare bedroom and have the kids in sleeping bags in the living room. No way. (OK, OK, I know Harry & Meghan have a bigger house but still.)

  5. FC says:

    It’s funny that Brits talk about America like its small and the east and west coasts are close. Will and Kate will probably have their event on the east coast and shuffle between DC and NYC, so everyone can keep a nice 3,000 mile distance.

    • molly says:

      This. NYC to LA is at least a five hour flight and across four time zones. Not something you can easily pop over for brunch. Will and Kate won’t go anywhere near California for this, and as an American, it’s (logistically, at least) not weird at all.

      If they didn’t currently hate each other, I could see them doing a joint event in DC or NYC, but Harry and Meghan would likely go to them. It would be inefficient for Will and Kate to waste 10 hours of a Royal Tour just on air travel.

      • notasugarhere says:

        W&K are known for wasting time and money on their tours. They demand luxury holidays in the middle of tours, fly to remote locations with taxpayer money, requiring local forces and military to secure the locations. All during tours. They even had BAFTA make up a completely useless event during their first CANADIAN tour, because Keen wanted to visit Hollywood.

  6. Becks1 says:

    Yeah, they’re not going to be able to handle the American press. Andrea Mitchell asking Kate if she had met Lilibet yet sent Kate into a tizzy.

    And what celebs are going to want to meet with them? Oh I know some always will, but do we really think that Beyonce is going to be lining up to go a basketball game with them this time around?

    ETA and the thing is those are the kinds of celebs the Cambridges want to meet. Will and Kate WANT to hang out with Beyonce or other people at her level. They don’t want to hang out with minor celebrities. they want the big guns and I’m not sure the big guns want them at this point.

    • Merricat says:

      Chachi?

    • FC says:

      I agree most A list celebs won’t be lining up to meet them (aside from maybe the climate champions like Leo), but I can see them securing a photo op meeting with Biden and trying to copy the Sussex’s “NYC tour” by meeting with some climate-centric UN ambassadors.

      • Becks1 says:

        I think they would likely meet with Biden or Dr. Jill because the Bidens would kind of have to, if the Cambridges are coming on behalf of the British government, right?

        And I think they could get some climate-focused celebs too. They won’t be shunned. It’s just not going to be like in past years and its not going to be like the reception the Sussexes get.

      • notasugarhere says:

        If it is on the heels of Dr. Biden showing up and hanging out with Harry and Meghan at InvictusGames Netherlands 2022? So easy to highlight Dr. Biden being thrilled with Harry/Meghan and suffering through W&K

      • Emmitt says:

        Neither Biden will visit with the royals again. Why? So the royals can run to the press and talk about how Biden farted again? Both Joe and Jill have been burnt by the Royals, I don’t see them meeting with them again unless they absolutely have to (as in State visit).

      • BeanieBean says:

        I wouldn’t want either of the Bidens to have to waste their time with W & K; he’s only the heir to the heir to the throne. I think they should be fobbed off (as they would see it) onto Nancy Pelosi (isn’t Speaker of the House next after the VP? ’cause I don’t want VP Harris to have to waste her time with these numpties either), who could whip them into shape.

    • Amy Bee says:

      @Becks: I think a lot of celebrities will line up to meet them especially the Anglophile/Royalist types. Wasn’t Reese Witherspoon gushing about meeting them via video some months ago? I think they will get a good reception from the politicians and celebrities if they do visit, the press is another story and I think that will make them cautious about visiting the US. Plus it’s more than likely that when they have the Earthshot Awards, Harry would be promoting his book. I don’t think the Cambridges want to be in the US when that’s happening.

      • Becks1 says:

        Yes, some celebrities will be willing to meet them. I said that in my post. But I don’t think its the celebs they want to meet and I don’t think there will be the same excitement around meeting them that there was 10 years ago. Like Reese Witherspoon isn’t going out of her way to chat with Kate at a polo club just for a photo op.

        Politicians are a different beast in my mind bc they can’t be seen to shun the future future king and head of state.

      • em says:

        I dont think biden wants to hang around the royals anymore before fartgate happens again. Also I dont see them getting an official government invite in this administration because things are pretty tense

      • WithTheAmerican says:

        Reese is also playing to her southern brand. And she is so careful with her image. Offend no one (except cops?).

      • BeanieBean says:

        And if they say yes to any press, it’ll be hand-picked ones; although it would be nice to have Andrea Mitchell ask more questions….

  7. Woke says:

    The american media is pretty sycophantic to them I don’t see why there’s this assumption that they would be asked these type of questions. They have their own fans as well and no they’re not all the MAGA type. The visit will be a success. It’s just that they fail to see that them being succcessful in America don’t mean the public/media will turn on the Sussexes. The media there doesn’t need to paint the two against each other.

    • Chloe says:

      I agree with this. However i think it will be a relative succes. I don’t think it will garner the amount of interest harry & meghan get everything time they do a public event. But they’ll get a good reception. Some of the biggest meghan haters are actually from the US. And william and especially kate have tbeir own little US fanbase

    • Becks1 says:

      I mean people aren’t going to throw eggs at them or anything, lol. But they absolutely are going to get some questions that they don’t want to answer. They’re so used to the British press doing their bidding that they wouldn’t be able to handle it even if someone yells “how’s Andrew” at them. Before the royals could contain and control the US press somewhat by promising them access. Access to W&K doesn’t really mean a whole lot anymore so they no longer have that card to play.

      • Jais says:

        Hmm, I wonder though if they will just highly control the interviews, like not agreeing to an interview unless the questions are pre-approved. In that case, hopefully, the pre-interview negotiations are publicized. Rogue questions by journalists at public outings are probably the place where uncomfortable questions might be asked.

      • Becks1 says:

        @Jais – yes, exactly, that’s what we’ll see. We aren’t going to see a sit down interview where Savannah Guthrie grills them about the royal racist. It’s going to be the one-off questions asked as they’re leaving an event or something that will be the problem.

        Again, we can’t forget Kate’s reaction to being asked if she had seen Lilibet yet. That was a pretty benign and obvious question and yet….she was thrown off. They don’t have to ask hard-hitting deep questions to throw the royals off.

      • Surly Gale says:

        We won’t throw eggs. We’ll toss a lot of their spilled tea back at them tho LOL

    • mariahlee says:

      I’m in general agreement with you. It’s hard to define what “success” even means for a royal tour, but I really can’t see them being ostracized in any significant way. They’re high status dignitaries at the end of the day, and if people show deference to H&M because they’re royal (and they do), they’ll show it for W&K. The press will def celebrate them (barring major gaffes), but I don’t expect them to be lauded by the general public.

    • MsIam says:

      I don’t see the US press being sycophantic to the Cambridges at all. The US press that does is either Murdoch owned or have Brits in editorial roles. The NY Times accused them of buying followers on Instagram. So I don’t think there is any guarantee of the tour being a success, unless success means people not throwing things.

      • Woke says:

        Lol they are maybe not to the Cambriges but to the royal family in general. If they were not the anti Meghan stuff the RF put would never penetrate the american media market expect for the MAGA/Fox news/Murdoch types.

    • Snuffles says:

      Anything less than topping Harry and Meghan will be viewed as a flop in their minds. They could get through the trip with no drama, but a lukewarm reception would upset them greatly.

    • em says:

      Actually their visit will be a shitshow, From their hoarde of rota sycophants fighting with the american press to get prime spots to their obvious hypocrisy especially explaining why william said he wont be flying anyone in for the earthshot awards yet intends to fly out for the next one, Also ofcourse they wont be ostracized by the elite but they want adulation from the masses which they wont be getting sans the stepford moms, Also which elite? will they want to be publicly associated with the right wingers who they court privately? Imagine trump inviting them for coffee which is not what they want. Also american media are failing in ratings and need clicks so no amount of sycophancy is going to stop at least one reporter from asking ‘Have you visited your brother and his kids?’

      • Snuffles says:

        Good point about US press versus Royal Rota jockeying for position. I’m of the belief that US media is enjoying beating out the UK media on all the Sussex news. I’m sure there will be plenty of shenanigans behind the scenes.

      • Beach Dreams says:

        Yeah, I just don’t think that anything less that complete deference and control is going to go down well with these two. In 2014 when they came to America for a second trip, William met with Obama at the White House and I remember him looking taken aback by the WH press corps. They’ll have to hone in on very royal friendly outlets like People (lol) if they want a meek American press.

    • LaraW” says:

      They have their fans in the US, but not in places William and Kate want to go, namely NYC and LA.

      As for celebs appearing with them— William is now one of the most famous racists in the world. Who the hell wants to be associated with that?

    • Nikki says:

      While I agree with you, I think Black female reporters are going to ask those questions. And any reporter who wants to make a name for themselves. This is why they will probably not have access.

      There will not be any opportunities to have a scrum like when the First Lady was present.

    • Athena says:

      I agree. I think America will be a gracious host, but if they’re coming for Earthshot it’s not an official visit so the Bidens’ do not need to invite them to the White House. They should schedule their visit around the same time as the Kentucky Derby and attend that. They would get a great welcome.
      There is still no mention as to which U.S. State is hosting this event and if any media is willing to broadcast. It sound like an idea thrown out there with no real plan so now former Senator John Kerry’s staff will have to help them figure something out.

  8. Rapunzel says:

    The Sussexes wouldn’t trust the Cambridges to stay in Archie’s Chick Inn, or one of their 17 bathrooms. No way they’re getting a bedroom to sleep in.

    Better try the local Motel 6, Cambridges. They’ll keep the light on for you.

  9. Chloe says:

    Where are these random “royal experts” coming from??? Seriously who is this guy?

  10. Feeshalori says:

    Yep, the American press are certainly no royal rotas and won’t tippy toe around those juicy questions, not when we have our own popular royals living here. William and Kate may as well be wearing a bull’s-eye on their backs if they come here. They’d be well advised to stay home.

  11. equality says:

    I still see no point in W&K visiting the US. Who is paying and how do they justify the expense. If it’s for Earth Award it seems highly hypocritical to fly over (likely private for security) and travel about to make arrangements and do events that could be done by video chat. I figured after low ratings with the award Will would use his opt out on it.

  12. Lizzie Bathory says:

    They *might* be actually planning a “tour” for Earthshot in the US, but I kind of don’t see it happening? William & Kate would have to actually travel together for several days, which I don’t see either of them wanting to do. It would be much easier to host it in London again, as part of their typical fall slate of events to make them appear busy between the summer & winter disappearances. And I can’t imagine an expensive trip abroad going over well next year when Brexit will have wreaked even more havoc on the UK economy.

    I think the idea of hosting in the US was a sop to William’s ego after the Sussexes’ successful & popular NYC trip.

    • em says:

      how will William justify flying and wasting carbon just to present an award when he could zoom in? Especially since he said no one was flying in for the awards that were held few months ago? if he tries it. I will personally email outlets like aljazeera and other anti monarchist outlets who have no qualms in dragging him so they can actually use his own words against him

    • Lady D says:

      Doesn’t the cost of hosting them fall on the country to which they are travelling? Half the reason we don’t want them in Canada is the expense of having them. They really don’t bring good value for the cost.

      • Becks1 says:

        If they’re traveling on behalf of the UK government, then yes, the host country pays. I’m not sure the US would be willing to pay for their visit right now, but also inconvenient truths like the cost of a royal tour can be easily swept under the rug.

        Earthshot is a Royal Foundation initiative, its not a government initiative, so I’m not sure why either government should have to pay so that William can play environmental savior.

  13. Snuffles says:

    “ And if they don’t get invited, it seems petty and nasty from the other side”

    Bullshit. At this point William will be lucky if Harry doesn’t clock him at first sight.

    As far as their US reception. This is what they should expect:

    1) The US media won’t kiss their asses and lob softball questions at them. They WILL go there and ask about the rift and the drama. The Cambridge’s better be ready to answer.

    2) US paparazzi is VICIOUS. They will scream all kinds of nasty shit at them to push their buttons to get a dramatic shot. They won’t be screaming platitudes.

    3) American crowds, assuming they even get any, will be filled with hecklers. ESPECIALLY in New York. The couldn’t give two fucks about their titles or rank.

    Willy can barely contain his rage and disdain on a good day with the entire UK media coddling him. Americans will needle him relentlessly and I guarantee you he will snap.

    • swirlmamad says:

      If they come to NYC I live close enough that I will absolutely go just for the chance to heckle them. We should make an outing of it for all the Celebitchies who live locally. LOL!

    • Feeshalori says:

      Snuffles, as a fellow NYer l absolutely agree with your assessment if they come to the Big Apple and about the general US press. And Harry and Meghan should definitely take this opportunity to visit the queen if she’s still around. That’s if all this comes to fruition.

    • Nic919 says:

      There weren’t a ton of crowds the last time they were in NYC and that was before they decided to smear their American sister in law.

    • TeamMeg says:

      I know they have their fans, but my guess is most New Yorkers (and Americans in general) will have zero to very little interest in a visit from future King Nothingburger.

  14. Jaded says:

    Well we all saw Kate’s eye-roll and bitchy response when a kid asked her about Meghan and Harry so coming to America for Earthsh*t stuff is just throwing themselves to the press wolves. I think it’s yet another in a legion of stupid mistakes they’ve made and they will never win the royal popularity contest in America, that award has already been bestowed on the Sussexes.

    • Lady Digby says:

      I posted yesterday and I will repeat the comment here. If after 20 years they have only their mutual jealousy of Meghan to bond over then it is a miserable marriage. She really exposed her inner mean girl when she haughtily dismissed the school child’s reference to her in laws.
      Harry was always kind and generous towards her and this is how she repays him. A smile, a generous nature and a loving heart are the best beauty aids so no matter how much botox Kate has it will never be enough!

  15. aquarius64 says:

    Yeah come to the US Cambridges and have some inconvenient questions asked by the American press.

  16. swirlmamad says:

    Kate better get ready to sprain her eyeballs with all the eye-rolling she’s gonna be doing on this trip then….you think those kids at that school visit had no chill? Let us prepare with the popcorn. These rats are like a dog with a bone….let this tour sh*t disappear quietly into the night and never speak of it again. W+K need to take a seat and keep their butts in the UK if they know what’s good for them.

  17. MelOn says:

    There’s room for both of them, it isn’t an either or thing. Americans are just not that invested in this.

    • BayTampaBay says:

      Agree! I would bet that a majority or Americans do care if the Cambridges come and do not care if the Cambridges do not come. We are not talking Diana here by any measurement.

      Harry & Meghan should go to the UK to visit QEII while the Cambridges are in the USA!!!!

  18. Rapunzel says:

    A few things:

    London to LA is about 11hrs non-stop. I don’t think the Cambridges have spent 11 straight hours together in a long time.

    If Kate rolls her eyes at a black women during this trip like she did on her last US visit (while wrapping gifts!) she will get crucified.

    There will be no meet-up with Bey and Jay at basketball this time…

    Will the US press be sycophantic? IDK. But I know the US press isn’t willing to hide a story for royalty, like the RR, so they’ll report on whatever will draw clicks, royals be dammed.

  19. Aud says:

    I don’t even know why they’re having the event in the US. Why not host it in a nearby commonwealth country like Canada?

    Right, petty jealousy. Gotta try to outshine Harry and Meghan.

  20. Nicole says:

    Red State America and the rest of the MAGA peeps will love adore and show up for Wills and Kate, especially if Fox News, Ben Shapiro, Steve Bannon, and OAN tell them to show up. There will be a VERY POSITIVE reception from that ilk, but dreaded liberal elite will likely openly heckle them. I could see them going on Colbert or the Tonight Show, but with Colbert there is no guarantee that all the questions will be softballs, and Jimmy Fallon is too playful for the Cambridges. New York is 3000 miles from CA. I think Harry and Meghan will remain unbothered and do the work in nicer weather. Odds are very good that should they engage with the American media market, the top qustions will be about the queens health and when will the Princes reunite. Black media will be asking about those alleged racism issues regarding “over population”, the complexion of Archie, and how they feel about the Commonwealth losing Barbados. I do not think those are questions they will want to answer. No one is going to cosign royalty here to the degree that they presume IMO.

    • em says:

      they dont want that kind of attention from the rightwingers though, so i actually hope it happens lmaoo

    • Emmitt says:

      The only MAGA messiah that could tell people to go to NYC and meet the Cambridges would be Trump and why would he do that?
      Black media is not going to waste their time covering a Cambridge trip. The Cambridge trip will be like everything else they do in life: a big bunch of nothing.

      • Deering24 says:

        Emmitt, one suspects black media would _love_ to ask the Cambridges some rather pointed racial questions…:)

  21. Over it says:

    Lol. Kaiser, I nominate you to be the one to go interview the keens. I would happily campaign for you to be given the chance because you speak truth and don’t swollow bullshit

    Thank you thank you Andrea Mitchell NBC News Chief Foreign Affairs & Chief Washington Correspondent.

  24. PC says:

    Earthshot has already partnered with John Kerry and the JFK Foundation. Those are pretty far from MAGAs. If W&K do meet with politicos, I don’t think it will be right-wingers.

      And midterms will be soon after the awards and climate may play a big part so I can see some politicians (especially from the democratic party) show up to the awards to show how much they care about climate change.

  25. Margaret says:

    How did the conversation on the shamebridges staying with Sussexes come about?. Like why would the Sussexes ask those low lifers to stay with them?. However that discussion dropped when it didn’t wash, but not before the media acting like they were invited, as if.

  26. TIFFANY says:

    I bet you Baldimort was arrogant enough to day to Harry, ‘it’s either your wife or me’.

    And Harry laughed to his face, out the door, to the car, up the step to the Canadian Embassy, sighing his visa paperwork, during the pic of his and Meghan holding hands outside the Embassy, back home, packing clothes, playing with Archie, putting Archie to bed, getting up, on the plane and in Canada.

  27. Robin Samuels says:

    Which government is paying for this trip? Imagine Harry and Meghan inviting the monarchy’s “leading leakers” into their home. Charles comes next Spring representing the Princess Trust. How successful their tour will be is based on several factors, including the Queen’s health, the impact of the pandemic, the outcomes of the bullying allegations, etc. If the Queen passes before this trip, they will need to survive the onslaught of the tabloid press. The calls for abolishing the monarchy, though ignored, will be heard around the globe. They will request to meet with specific political and humanitarian figures who will be respectful. Surely they’re not coming to America to do Earth Shot on television. I’ve lost interest in William and Kate (not that I had any) and their childish behavior.

    • L4frimaire says:

      Same. They are tedious. At this point they really are just trolling. They are also annoying and they keep the same nasty churn cycle because it’s the only way the press pay any attention to them.

  28. Over it says:

    One takes out the trash. You don’t invite it to stay in your home.

  29. Cottage Cat says:

    How on earth was this glorified, pointing, posing, catalogue model allowed anywhere near either of Diana’s sons? How is it that her violent lout of an uncle doesn’t get scrutinised more?

  30. Deering24 says:

    They are still going through with this?!! Man, you really _can’t_ fix stupid…

    • L4frimaire says:

      Why are they even talking about this trip? It may not even happen and why are they trying to attach the Sussexes to it? The only reason they want to take that lame prize ceremony over here is because Meghan and Harry are here doing their thing. This is so obviously the Cambridge’s thinking the grass is greener on the Montecito side, so they need to put some weed killer on that grass. This has nothing to do with the Sussexes and the Cambridge’s are basically clout chasing and trying to copy once again. They can visit all they want but eventually they have to go back to the UK and do their day job, whatever that is. So glad this is a big country.

  31. Emmitt says:

    No member of the Royal Family should ever be allowed to step foot* in Harry & Meghan’s home. Why? So they can run to the press and tell them all about all the bathrooms, their decor, etc? So you can peep in on Archie and Lili and do some secret harm to them? No ma’am! If Cain and Unable want to stay in Montecito they better book a room at the Montecito Super 8 and call it a day.

    *Eugenie is probably the only one Harry could trust not to leak the details of his house to the press.

  32. Eurydice says:

    This is stupid (I’m saying this a lot today) – you don’t just pop over to meet with the President of the United States whenever you feel like it. There’s a pandemic, there’s a royal schedule, there’s a presidential schedule, there’s a fading Queen, a Jubilee Year, mid-term elections in the US, and W&K’s busy, busy holiday schedule. If they haven’t scheduled the trip already, with all the travel and security plans, then it’s not going to happen. Plus, you can’t air a half-assed award show like EarthShot on US television. It will need planning and producing and directing, which take time and money. It’s just not going to happen. William blurted out one thing and now the media wants to make something of it.

    • BeanieBean says:

      True enough, I didn’t even think about that. Has anybody even mentioned which American network that’ll air this? Because if it’s happening next year, they’d have to have that deal lined up already.

  33. Jay says:

    I hope if they do come to the US they try out the “Oprah Who?” joke that Edward and Sophie thought was so cute. Just see how well that goes.

    Or Kate can eye roll at every mention of her American sister in law, as she did at her last engagement, or demand “What else?” to any questions that are not fawning. That might be some useful on-the- ground media training for them, in real time, and I’d love to see it.

    These two can’t even handle the most basic of engagements and a royal rota that is in their pocket, how are they gonna handle American press?

    I think this “Cambridges Come to America!” is all talk, that it’s meant to compete with the Sussexes, and failing pathetically. Sort of “Well, Harry and Meghan are only successful because of where they are, it certainly can’t be any special qualities or skills they have, no – it’s their location. Must be. Well, we could totally do the same.” They still don’t get it, do they?

  34. JRenee says:

    This made me lol, literally. They are a big reason they left “the Firm”. Why would they be invited anywhere with H& M? Lol… imagine H &M doing an event while those 2 are here, lol, no coverage for W&K

  35. Likeyoucare says:

    Maybe willie is letting these rumours out hoping that US network offered him a deal to air it?

  36. Marivic says:

    The Cambridges are not staying with the Sussexes because they will never get an invite to stay in their home. The Cambridges are not welcome at all. Stay out!

  37. rea says:

    It sucks when a family is split. It’s a horrible ordeal one of my best friends family is going through that. When one of her siblings died the others didn’t bother going to their funeral. Why because they said that sibling had already passed away in their books😭 It’s sad but I hope W & H get along before it’s too late. Life is too short😔 The royal family should unify & forget the crap about power. What is the point in having it if your miserable & alone. No offense to QE but I genuinely do not think she is happy.

    • Haylie says:

      Harry shouldn’t have to unify with the family that tried to destroy his wife and babies just to give strangers on the internet a Hallmark moment. Life is short, and Chuck, Cams, Will and Kate decided to use life’s precious time being hateful monsters.

  38. blunt talker says:

    a question about the Sussexes will be surely asked in some form-Kate better do a better job than rolling eyes and a stony face-William please don’t go into a rage with clenched fists-so much is happening in the world right now this trip may need to be done when things get better as for health -omicron and the queen’s health.

  39. Huggy says:

    Is calling America Meghans ‘native country’ a huge dog whistle, or am I reading too much into that term?

  40. Dpalmier says:

    The choice of pictures for these articles really brings me a lot of joy

    The Brits will send anyone to the US except for Prince Andrew
