Prince Harry is ‘laying low,’ he ‘doesn’t want to cause any more upset’ to the Queen

I tweeted about this, but in advance of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, tons of memorabilia has been ordered. There’s a big mistake on some of the memorabilia made in China, with various plates and teacups reading “Platinum Jubbly.” So that’s what we’re calling it from now on, the Platinum Jubbly. I love it. Anyway, because of the Jubbly, everyone’s trying to be on their best behavior. Including Prince Harry? What’s funny is that Prince Charles reportedly spends all day, every day banging his head against the wall about Harry’s memoir, which comes out this fall. But according to Katie Nicholl, Harry has actually tried to take it down a notch, and he’s “laying low” for now.

Prince Harry ‘doesn’t want to cause any more upset’ to the Queen and is ‘laying low for now’, a royal expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex, 38, who is currently living in his $14 million mansion in California having stepped back from royal duty last year, gave a series of explosive interviews in 2021, in which he revealed an astonishing rift with his father as well as accusing an unnamed Royal Family member of racism.

However according to Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl, the Duke has ‘paused and reflected’ on his comments, telling Closer magazine: ‘He’s realised how much last year took a toll on his grandmother, and doesn’t want to cause any more upset, so is laying low for now’.

Meanwhile Katie also told the magazine the Duchess of Cambridge could act as a peacemaker between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family. She said that Kate will play a key role in building bridges with her brother and sister-in-law, even if it’s just to save face for the Jubilee celebrations. ‘Tensions are high but Kate will do what she can to heal the rift,’ she said.

Do you think Harry and Meghan are laying low in any particular way right now? Eh. And I don’t even buy the idea that Harry feels like he was doing anything negative towards the Queen. Both Harry and Meghan made it pretty clear that they’re on good terms with the Queen, and every time Harry has visited the UK, he’s gotten to spend time with his grandmother. If Harry is “laying low,” it’s more about the other sh-t that’s going on – the security beef, conversations with his father, the copykeening from William and Kate. And honestly, he’s probably still editing his book, working with BetterUp, putting together the Archewell production teams and a million other things. He’s just busy, not “laying low.”

    Harry is doing more work and has more jobs than the whole royal establishment combined. My mans isn’t laying low, royals and the RR just don’t know what working actually looks like.

    • sunny says:

      Yup, add to that a toddler and a baby at home. He is busy!

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      I could be mistaken but isn’t he making an appearance tonight with Serena Williams and Better Up’s CEO? Didn’t FFK, his side piece and OfWiliam make another inane appearance today to deflect attention towards them?

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Yes but they would never bring up his successful endeavors, as they would rather eat crow than sing his praises. Tomorrow will be filled with lies regarding this progressive endeavor. This is the calm before the avalanche of lies, derogatory comments and the RR’s beating on Harry for his successful launch.

    • Mia says:

      Are you saying the Queen doesn’t work hard? QE2 maybe a dinosaur in the 21st century but she’s a hard working dinosaur.

  2. Becks1 says:

    LOL. he’s not laying low, he’s working. He has left royal life so that means he no longer “has to be seen to be believed.”

    And he has an event today so Katie Nicholl just sounds stupid lol.

    • Cessily says:

      His(their) job isn’t public appearances anymore they are actually working a real job(s).. simple as that. They will be public for work projects, causes and charities as needed.
      These rats really do not have a clue and spin a narrative out of nothing.. literally nothing.

      • RoyalBlue says:

        That’s right. His job is not just to show up, smile, kick a ball and bounce. He now adds value to the team and it has given him a greater sense of purpose in life.

      • L4Frimaire says:

        They want them to be socialites on the charity party circuit or going to fashion shows so they can drag them but also get lots of photos and gossip.

    • NightOwl says:

      “Laying low” = ROTA not having any idea what H&M are doing

    • Over it says:

      Exactly,what Harry is doing is called working. Rihanna has a whole song about it.

  3. The Duchess says:

    The same Harry who is making an appearance with Serena Williams on Better Up today? That Harry?

  4. Woke says:

    Since they stepped back Harry and Meghan do a handful of events, are very visible at certain times then are very quiet for a certain amount of time. It seems like this particular period of calm is bothering the royal reporters.

    • Amy Bee says:

      @Woke: Of course, it’s bothering the royal reporters, they don’t make money when Harry and Meghan aren’t seen. They better get used to it.

    • blackfemmebot says:

      And you know they were probably just dying to use the Sussexes as a distraction from the whole Andrew mess.

    • L84Tea says:

      I believe it’s because of Andrew. The RF/RR’s would love nothing more right now than for H&M to do something–anything really–that they could report 2,000 stories on to distract from the Andrew mess, but the Sussexes have starved them out and haven’t given it to them. I have been so glad that they have been busy and doing their own work because the RF deserves to have Andrew splashed all over the papers in disgrace the way he actually has been the last month or so. The best thing H&M did since their Christmas card was “lay low”, if that’s what the RR’s want to call it.

    • Becks1 says:

      I think its because of Andrew and I think the RRs are bored, quite frankly. I think they really expected *something* from H&M around Christmas or the New Year – yes we got the holiday card, but I think they were hoping for an appearance, pap pictures (especially with the kids), SOMETHING that they could have written about for weeks on end. Instead there was nothing, so the RRs had to spend all of January writing about Kate’s birthday like she’s the second coming and trying to ignore the Andrew mess.

      • Woke says:

        They had their distraction though the security leak and the Spotify statement. I agree with you on them being bored.

      • Becks1 says:

        Yeah but they want pictures. They want to be able to slam Meghan for having nice things or wearing nice clothes (I laughed when this article reminded us of their 14 million dollar mansion. They really can’t help themselves, can they?)

      • Cessily says:

        Bet they are all salivating for the beginning of the Invictus games to be held in the Netherlands this spring..

      • Amy Bee says:

        @Woke: Those distractions had no staying power because Harry put out statements that stopped any mileage the press was trying to get from those stories. Never complain, never explain is there so the press can put their own spin on stories and keep them in the press for as long as possible and Harry and Meghan don’t play that game.

      • CuriousCole says:

        Becks, they really can’t. But I was shocked, absolutely aghast I say, that she left out the 27 3/4 bathrooms in Montecito, so perhaps the rota are attempting a modicum of restraint? Lol.

  5. OriginalLala says:

    “The Jubbly” I’m dying here!!! 🤣

    • Becks1 says:

      I thought it was a joke at first when someone sent it to me. I was sure it had to be from the Onion.

    • JD says:

      Del Boy will be so pleased with this merch for his stall! Lubbly Jubbly 😂 (for any non-UK readers, check out British sitcom Only Fools and Horses)

    • Jane says:

      For non-Brits, ‘jubblies’ is also slightly dated slang for boobs.

    • Chaine says:

      Oh my goodness, go to the link and look at the plates! Spelling isn’t the only thing that they got wrong. I don’t know who the lady is pictured on them, but it’s not Queen Elizabeth, lol.

    • Jaded says:

      I’m actually the proud owner of two tea mugs that were produced by some Chinese company for Kate and William’s wedding but they accidently put Harry’s photo on them!! Boy, talk about art imitating life…

    • Agreatreckoning says:

      “The Jubbly” is the best! If they had a sense of humor they could ask LeLarge-Pugeot(who made a champagne for Charles’s 70th bday) to put out a champagne for Queenie’s big party.
      Lubbly Jubbly Bubbly.

  6. Noki says:

    If the Queen is to be upset or rather mortified its because her favourite son is embroiled in a scandalous case. Its disgusting how they truely blame Harry for any heartache the Queen migh be going through and over look Andy. Their reporting is always Queen cuts Andrew off,or Queen will not pay for legal fees. But Harry leaves her weak and heart broken? Setting the stage to point the fingers when she dies.

  7. SomeChick says:

    I think we here are more concerned with the goings-on of the BRF than Harry is.

    I’m quite looking forward to his presentation today with Serena Williams!

  8. Amy Bee says:

    BS. Unlike the other royals who are expected to make many public appearances, Harry and Meghan’s work is mainly behind the scenes so people like Katie Nicholl shouldn’t expect to see them regularly. Anyway, Harry doing a Better Up seminar today so that puts paid to Katie’s theories.

    • Amy Bee says:

      If Kate was really the peace maker that she wants people to think she is she would paid tribute to Harry’s work as Rugby Patron when she took over that role yesterday.

  9. Snuffles says:

    Harry is doing this thing called WORK. He’s got a lot of projects going on.

    They’re mad because they have nothing new to talk about.

    • Noki says:

      Yes H & M actually WORK ,do research ,engage with people behind the scenes and present full concepts or projects. Unlike those who breeze in and out to take credit for others work.

    • Myra says:

      Meanwhile, William and Kate has been really laying low. Their calendar is sparse.

  10. lucylee says:

    Harry is not “laying low.” British media have exhausted their efforts to publish clickbait articles about him 24/7. The only thing left for them is to spin a new narrative based on previously written papers.

  11. Cerys says:

    Harry is not lying low. He’s just getting on with his life and his work quietly, without fuss or drama.

  12. Brit says:

    These people are bored and they need the Sussexes and the access to them. That’s why they keep pressuring about Spotify and talking about the Sussexes like they’re in the know but you can tell they miss them. Also, I just saw a random clip online about Kate on Jeremy Vine and one woman said Kate was being pushed down her throat and that the Sussexes were pushed out and Jeremy asked an DM editor what does Meghan need to do for better coverage, implying that Kate and the tabloids are close. What I got from the whole exchange is that some in the UK are tired of the endless Kate pandering and some want Meghan to kiss their behinds for better coverage. Also, nobody will ever discuss Kate without bringing up Meghan. She is forever in her shadow.

    • JT says:

      Richard Eden (or one of those rats) was complaining about not seeing H&M in a long time. They are bored to tears talking about the rest of the royals. They have to write the same 5 articles about Kate and William every damn day, nobody wants to talk about Andy the rapist, and C&C are nonentities. The only time the rota is energized is when the Sussexes make an appearance.

  13. Alexandria says:

    I really think neuroscientists and psychologists need to study this obsession with Harry and Meghan. This is some kinda collective national disorder of the brain.

    • Brit says:

      They are truly obsessed. Not having access to them and control over their lives is really pushing some of these people to the edge. The fact that some of them think they can dictate the lives of Private citizens is hubris at its finest. You got Piers making articles and statements, meanwhile he’s ignored and it goes nowhere. The more Harry and Meghan thrive and don’t listen to these lunatics, the more looney they become.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        I agree with your assessment. They have nothing, the wells have dried up and they are resorting to fabricating their spin on the version of “truth”. No matter how desperate they are they will find a away to spin lies and deceit. They should go on vacation as they have no meat to their sources and/or stories, which is what they are left with.

  14. twoz says:

    If Ms Nicholl was talking out of her ar*e any more, she’d be literally mooning the Fail’s offices.

  15. Harper says:

    Why doesn’t Nicholl just up her lying game and say Kate and Jason the Knife are playing a key role in peacemaking for the Jubbly? It’s the same level of nonsense. KP sent Jason into court to make it look like Meghan was a liar, and that move was fairly recent history, which shows that William is still actively working against the Sussexes. Kate brokering peace was so last spring.

    But let’s talk about who is laying low: Where the heck is William? His work numbers are as low as Kate’s. Is he on a solo vacay somewhere?

    • RoyalBlue says:

      precisely. baldimort has been missing in action. patronages being assigned and his name is mentioned nowhere. i actually think they sent him to the naughty corner for his bad behavior last year.

    • Mslove says:

      Wouldn’t it be funny if Kate & Jason the Knife we’re having an affair? The RR’s heads would explode.

      • Jan90067 says:

        Isn’t JK gay, and married? Doubt that’s Keen’s type lol. She prefers athletes. Check out her face and body language around people like that yacht guy, Ben Ainsliey, and around the Rugby players yesterday. Not to say that *they* return the admiration, but *she* is in heaven.

      • Mslove says:

        Your right about Jason of course, what was I thinking? I wonder if Wills would be upset if Kate had an affair. She seems starved for attention.

  16. Layla says:

    Isn’t that what Harry and Meghan have been doing this entire time? It’s the family and the rat rota who’ve been causing all this uproar with their stupid stories and baby tantrums 🙄

  17. Justplainme says:

    IDK, I feel like charles has pushed for a more ‘Harry is doing the right thing now’ tone since we heard he is speaking with and offered his home to Harry.
    Truth, the Sussex’s have laid low since coming to the US unless they have a specific reason to be seen. Unlike a certain other duchess who is keen to see her face in the tabloids daily.

  18. Izzy says:

    Here we go again with the Keen Peacemaker cr*p. Also, Harry and Meghan actually work for a living, are not “working royals”, and do not owe the obsessed media an appearance in order to generate clicks and profit (which is what this is really all about).

  19. RoyalBlue says:

    I think they confused Baldimort with Prince Harry when they typed: ‘Prince Harry ‘doesn’t want to cause any more upset’ to the Queen and is ‘laying low for now’.

    And they can’t fool us, When Harry checked into Frogmore last year, QE2 was the first one in the car zooming across Windsor to visit him. When the royals are upset, their modus operandi is to ignore your existence, reference – QE2’s reaction to the Keens after the Covid choo choo tour on the steps in full view for the world to see. Naw, her eagerness to see Harry was an outward expression of delight. She knows how the media works and was happy to be papped driving to Frogmore.

  20. equality says:

    So the Queen is so easily upset about anything H&M do but NEVER reportedly upset about the way the BM attacks H&M or the fact that William is constantly incandescent at H or the fact that her grandchild and great-grandchildren can’t be protected while in the UK?

    • Tessa says:

      And some DM comments about Meghan and Harry are downright scary and creepy. The Queen just sits back and lets this happen. As does the “great father” Charles.

  21. Catherine says:

    They are so desperate for Sussex news that they have to make up stuff about why they aren’t more visible. This is the third or fourth time in recent months that the Fail has posted a story based on comments Nichols has given to some other tabloid. She use to work at the Fail. My conspiracy theory is their paying her to plant these narratives elsewhere so they can write stories with the excuse that it was “reported” elsewhere first so it’s news. It gives them cover against accusations that they are manufacturing narratives which we know they do.

  22. Over it says:

    Shut up Katie I know absolutely nothing Nichols. How the f would you know what Harry is or isn’t doing? He has nothing to feel bad about, he told his truth if the truth made these people upset, it’s because they wanted to continue to lie, abuse and smear him and his wife without pushback.
    As for Kate the peacemaker. How can you possibly be a peacemaker when you spent your entire birthday week smearing and attacking a woman who pays you no mind and then have the nerve to copy keen her down to the toes

    • swirlmamad says:

      I wish I could get paid to literally repeat myself over and over like a damn myna bird. Nicholl is such a pathetic “journalist” it’s hilarious. She literally just changes the date and files to publish.

    • How can Kate be a peacemaker when she and William authorized the release of Meghan’s confidential emails to the courts. They worked hard to make her lose her case against ANL/Mail on Sunday. But no future king and queen can stop justice and fairness to favor Meghan. She won her case twice against that newspaper and against The Other Brother and his mumbling wife.

  23. LRob says:

    When all is quiet on the Sussex front, it is fantastic news for their commercial partners, employees, charities, creatives, children, and their interests overall. That’s because Sussexland is production-labor-creative-childrearing- foundation-innovation land. Just appreciate what is percolating and stay out of their way.

  24. Likeyoucare says:

    Harry doesnt want to talk to you, Katie.
    Read the room. He is working man now. He doesnt work with the circus anymore.

    Lets the other BRF perform for you. They really need you to report their acts. I heard khate perform her jazz hands show at the ragby field yesterday.

  25. aquarius64 says:

    I think the other thing that hacks off the BM is that the garbage that passes for news in the UK is not picked up by the US mainstream media. Pus Morgan trashed Meghan about Spotify/Joe Rogan in the NY Post. It’s killing the rota that they are not taken seriously as journalists.

    • Debbie says:

      I bet that Pee Morgan talks about Meghan when he’s at home. It’s not just work-related with him. He’s truly obsessed!

      Anyway, he should go play with the queen’s “jubblies” and leave America to Americans.

    • @Aquarius64. You are right. The mainstream US media don’t pick up the lies the UK media spew against the Sussexes. The Sussexes are able to relatively thrive unhampered in the US. This is what drives them mad.

  26. Red Weather Tiger says:

    JUBBLY is the gift I needed to make it through this dark winter Thursday. 😂

    Keenie Peacemaker is back in the rotation, I see. 🙄

  27. Eurydice says:

    Forget the Jubbly, we’re coming up on the one-year anniversary of the Oprah interview. In the absence of anything new, we can expect a retrospective of all the ways H&M have upset the queen.

  28. Chelsea says:

    This is once again a reporter trying to explain why she was once again wrong about what she thought the Sussexes would do. I have no idea why they thought H&M would be constantly be in the public eye after leaving but the reality is that Harry is living the life he always said he wanted: one where his kids have privacy and he has limited interaction with the press outside of promoting his work. From a gossip perspective it’s not as fun that we don’t see them that often but after the Hell they went through particularly through 2018-2020 I’m happy for them that they have the quiet peaceful family life that they very obviously wanted.

    The type of work they do will require them to do public panels like the one Harry is doing for BetterUp today and interviews when their projects come out but it will be nowhere near the constant public presence that the UK tabloids desperately want and need which sucks for the tabloids but said tabloids probably shouldn’t have kicked and beat their cashcows to the point that their cashcows literally left the continent. Reaping, sowing, etc.

  29. Surly Gale says:

    All they have to do is provide proper security for H&M+children. That’s ALL THEY HAVE TO DO. And Harry, for sure, and possibly the rest of his immediate family, would go to England.
    It’s so stupid. Provide security. See them. Don’t provide security. Don’t see them.
    Easy Peasy.

    • Eurydice says:

      Yes, stupid and weird. If TQ wants to see H&M, she could provide the security herself. I’m sure the Home Office wouldn’t say no to her. And it couldn’t be more expensive than paying off Andrew’s debts and legal fees.

      • SomeChick says:

        Harry has offered to pay for it! the answer: still no.
        it’s totally on purpose. and extra vile as that is how they got rid of Diana.

  30. TheOriginalMia says:

    Katie doesn’t know what she’s talking about. To be fair, though, she’s basing working off of the royals and that’s not what actually happens to people in the real world. Harry is CIO of BetterUp. They have a very public event with his wife’s friend today. I doubt it was just cobbled together at the last minute like the Cambs’ events. Also, Harry has been on paternity leave. Another point, Katie and the rest of the royal rabble don’t know a thing about Harry and Meghan’s lives. So anything she writes is just fiction.

    I did lol at the notion Katie Keen is going to be a peacemaker between the BRF and the Sussexes. She’s part of the reason things are so toxic at the moment.

  31. Charm says:

    It would totally make my day today (beginning in another 30 minutes or so) if Prince Harry would say something that leaves no doubt that he’s referencing the cult he recently escaped from, and which all the RotaRats could then hyperventilate about and wring their hands and say how Harry has blindsided and hurt the queen, placing her on her deathbed, even………
    just for the sheer bitchslapability of it to the face of KatieNichollIsALiar.

  32. L4Frimaire says:

    If laying low means working away, then that’s what they’re doing. Harry has a work thing with BetterUp today, major prep is underway for Invictus Games, and they are under no obligation to be “out there”. Now that they’ve had Lilibet and the DailyFail lawsuit is over, they’re probably shifting focus to their production deals and focusing on content. As for throwing Kate’s name in there, that is 100% BS. How is she a peacemaker when she just spent her 40th birthday last month trashing Meghan. FOH. Nicholls is such a shill for Middleton and notice, she didn’t put this in Vanity Fair but in low rent magazine Closer. Laying low means the Rota pack have no content and have no information.

  33. Debbie says:

    All I’ve got to say is, nobody better tell the queen about her son Andrew’s rape trial then if her sensibilities are so delicate and she’s susceptible to being “upset,” poor thing.

  34. Cj says:

    People think Kate doesn’t work but she’s doing so much to keep her name in everyone’s mouth as synonymous with peacemaker 🤣

  35. Tessa says:

    More scapegoating of Harry to try to deflect from Andrew.

  36. SUNNYVILE says:

    lol “lying low” is another word for;oops we’re out of fanfiction/no ideas about what they’re up to! Liar nicholl is desperate for the clicks as her mortgage
    payments are likely skyrocketing (along with the rest of us). These people will print anything to invoke sussexs nsmes
