Duchess Meghan’s absence in London speaks to ‘her antipathy towards Britain’

The Duchess of Sussex will probably be able to avoid stepping foot in the UK for all of 2023. She avoided it throughout 2021 as well, but she returned to Britain three times in 2022, the last of which was practically a hostage situation following QEII’s passing. Meghan skipped her father-in-law’s coronation in May, and my God, her absence was a months-long conversation and even King Charles was briefing against her. Then, Meghan made it clear that she’s not joining Harry when he breezes into London for the WellChild Awards on September 7th. She’s flying straight to Dusseldorf for Invictus and that’s that. Considering the way the British media and the British royal family have treated Meghan, her absence is perfectly understandable. So it’s flat-out hilarious to watch all of these prissy biddies shake their fists at Meghan for daring to… avoid being abused by them? Speaking of, “royal expert” Tessa Dunlop has some comments, and she even got a few hits on Prince William.

According to royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop, Meghan’s expected no-show “says a lot” about how she feels about being back in the UK. She told the Mirror: “Contrary to some predictions, Harry is now popping over to the UK en route to Dusseldorf, Germany, and the Invictus Games. As is the case with all things Sussex, his visit is already causing a stir.”

“Crucially the timing means he’ll be in Britain on September 8, the first anniversary of the death of his grandmother, the late Queen. A poignant day that begs the question – will there be a family reunion? The answer is a firm no. For King Charles, the Queen’s death doubles as his own accession and he’ll spend it in quiet contemplation miles away in Balmoral, Scotland. Can you blame him?”

“Meanwhile Harry, on his own mission to prove his is also a life of service, will be hosting a charity awards ceremony for WellChild on the eve of the Queen’s anniversary in London. The scenes involving children with severe health issues and their carers will be touching but don’t expect Meghan in any of the pictures. Apparently she is not gracing London with her presence. A rare Sussex double act is being saved for Germany where the Duchess will assist Harry with the closing ceremony. On this occasion, I suspect Meghan’s no-show in London says more about her antipathy towards Britain, than the couple’s relationship. We don’t deserve her, at least so she probably thinks. Also, there’s that outstanding issue regarding the couple’s UK security and who pays for it…”

According to Tessa: “The prospect of Harry on his tod in London raises another prospect – what about a rapprochement between the two brothers? Again, the answer is negative. Apparently, the Prince of Wales will be in Wales and if the Women’s Football World Cup has taught us anything, it’s that William is not a man for turning. Harry might be waiting some time for that apology. Which apology? Who owes who an apology? Well quite, I rest my case. The impasse between the two brothers is as solid as ever.

“So to conclude, the Duke of Sussex’s blink-and-you-miss-him appearance in the UK will centre on WellChild’s awards ceremony and a perhaps fleeting visit to see his preferred cousins, Eugenie and Beatrice. A reminder that all is not lost among some of the Windsor brigade.”

[From The Daily Mirror]

“Not a man for turning” is a baroque way of saying William is stubborn, violent and lazy. As for Meghan… like, I also believe that Meghan has nothing but antipathy for the UK and I also believe those people never deserved her. But Tessa Dunlop phrases it as an insult to Meghan, like how dare this Black woman think she’s better than us? The Sussexit left behind a lot of broken brains, as I’ve said many times. Look, over yonder, an American woman minding her business and protecting her peace! Why, she must be as obsessed with us as we are with her!

  1. Brit says:

    There is a lot of insecurity about Meghan from the press. Britain has been living in the past about former glories and the good ole days where they were a powerful country on the world stage. Meghan, who is a biracial American, doesn’t care about their opinions, actions or thoughts anymore because Americans don’t really care for the Brits. That’s why Willam and Kate are obsessed with America and Meghan, is literally leaving England in the rear view. Not going to the coronation really shook them because they wanted the desperate American narrative and she didn’t give it to them.

    It wasn’t just the family that was insecure about overshadowing and popularity. The Brexit press didn’t like that Meghan, an American, was overshadowing their homegrown English rose either. The problem is there is only so much PR you can give Kate because she’s so surface level.

    • seaflower says:

      Meghan can literally not show her face, and the RF, RR etc are cryingm whining and almost pleading for some reaction. Talk about obsessed.

      • Brit says:

        Yes. Meghan walked away with her dignity. She didn’t grovel like the rest of them and sell herself, mental health and children to these extortionists. The press have been wanting access to her for years and they keep trying. They’re obsessed they can’t break or humble her. It’s become a mission for some to no avail. The tabloids wanted to rip her to shreds and break her, so she could run to the press, and they could “rehabilitate” her reputation. That’s why they are still this polling nonsense to justify why is isn’t coming instead of admitting she doesn’t care for them and in a way they hope the “polls” somehow change her mind and embrace them.

      • Giddy says:

        Yes. Show her face and it’s “How Dare She?” Not show her face and it’s “How Dare She?” Talk about lazy journalism!

    • Eurydice says:

      I don’t think Americans don’t like the British – but, if you weren’t born into a 1,000 year old culture that believes the RF is divinely anointed, then you’re never going to have that reverence that lets the RF get away with being Mafia thugs. You’re going to see the RF as just plain people, and not very good people, either.

      • WaterDragon says:

        @Eurydice, you so eloquently expressed exactly what I was thinking.

      • Nic919 says:

        Perfectly phrased, and it’s not just Americans who feel this way, but the rest of the commonwealth, which poses a problem for them holding on to the “realms” outside of the island.

      • Lorelei says:

        You nailed it perfectly again, @Eurydice.

      • Wannabefarmer says:

        What I dont understand is how they can continue to believe that nonsense given the behavior of that clan. I mean the head of their church is a raging adulterer. Oh wait, so were most of his ancestors. Scratch that. There’s a documentary out that shows quite convincingly that Edward was not just a nazi sympathizer, he was actually working with hitler to conquer England, encouraged its bombing, and hoped to get back on the throne once hitler had England.

      • Christine says:

        Agreed, Eurydice, well said.

    • Wannabefarmer says:

      England is an embarrassing mess, from their messy government (paying Rwanda to take migrants, actually building ‘houses’ there-yikes) their ‘royal’ family, their insidious racism, slow/no growth, downward spiraling economy, people freezing to death b/c they cant pay their heating bills, the slow death of the NHS from underfunding, doctors’ strike, how long was liz PM? Media personality basically advocating Harry and James Cordon be shot?? And then there’s the murderous nurse who the rags are trying to humanize by posting not her mug shot but picture of her in her nurse’s uniform, holding cute baby clothes because, you know, white women are innocents, however could they commit murders. No comments on the fact that they made the brown doctor write her a letter of apology when he surmised she was killing babies.

      Anyho, maybe the rags should try a new tact. Apologize to Meghan and Harry for their abhorrent treatment of her/his wife and then Meghan might drop them a bone (not her children, ever). But like their overlords they wont and so they will continue to spin their wheels. But hey, they FAFO, they decided to scorch their earth and to them I say, bye Felicia. Meghan has no antipathy toward them, I dont think she would waste her energy. Mind you, if the adage, the worst insult you can heap on a person is to ignore them, well, she insults them every freaking day.

    • ElleE says:

      Americans use the term “British” loosely not in the true political sense. And we like everyone from northern Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland. (Sorry if I missed one there).

      But we’re not going to tolerate foreign heads of state and a particular foreign press coming for one of our own, maliciously and relentlessly. We love a fight and we will defend one of our own (AND HER KIDS) from 7 year-long vendetta being waged against her. And we will do it for free!

  2. Eurydice says:

    I don’t doubt there’s antipathy, but there was antipathy last year, too, and Meghan still traveled to the UK. How about she has other things to do? There’s nothing official for Elizabeth’s death anniversary and Meghan can privately mourn her passing if she wants, just like Charles will do. And there’s nothing for her to do at Wellchild except stand by Harry’s side. So, why not get other things done?

    • Jais says:

      Yeah, Meghan has every right to hold antipathy but she does not strike me as someone who lets her antipathy guide her actions. She’s def not twisting her schedule to fit in a UK visit but doubtful that she’s somewhere saying ha I’ll never go there again. Please. And there’s also the security issue. Harry is not playing around with that.

      • Rapunzel says:

        Yeah, I think Meg is being guided by “staying home with the kids until I absolutely need to travel” rather than “I hate England/Britain.”

        If she was going to the opening of Invictus rather than the closing, I think she’d likely join Harry at Well Child. I think this is purely a schedule issue.

    • Nic919 says:

      Meghan is basing her travel plans on what works for the kids, but these self absorbed people assume everything is about them.

    • Couch Potato says:

      Yeah! Meghan is a smart woman. She knows the difference between the RF and their rota rats and the british people she and Harry was (and is) supporting through various charities.

      Also, Meghan’s not just an add-on to Harry. She’s actually working and managing her time between work and family, like normal people do. She needs to prioritze what’s best for her and her family, not the rota, but that doesn’t sell papers.

    • Nx2 says:

      Plus, there’s no formal invite, no formal occasion, no family gathering, nothing going on that says Meghan needs to be there, wtf. This is just more display of dominating Brit behavior, that they think they have a right to abuse her every day in the press and paint her with the worst brushes they can find, yet she has to dutifully present herself on their rainy cake-filled (lol) soil FOR NO REASON but so they can refresh their angles of attack on her. They expect her to heel. This reminds me of how horrible people treat their dogs and it’s vile and disgusting.

    • kirk says:

      More important than getting “other things done” is that she avoids the death threats in Britain that are not adequately protected against by her ‘chintzy’ in-laws. That’s ‘chintzy’ as in American lexicon (cheap), rather than ‘chintzy’ floral decor in UK.

      Dr. Tessa Dunlop obliquely references the credible threat situation in UK as merely an “outstanding issue regarding the couple’s UK security and who pays for it…” Gag.

  3. s808 says:

    Any antipathy she may feel towards Britain is well deserved. Living there was a terrible and traumatic experience and the country’s media apparatus is still trying to finish the hit job they started. Can’t blame her for not rushing to be back in any capacity, not even for a good cause.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      Exactly. And if it were me, antipathy is the least I’d be feeling. They’re lucky she hasn’t written her autobiography (yet) or published her journal filled with receipts about her abuse at the hands of that family and their minions in the press. She is a much better person than me.

  4. Nev says:

    Wow. They are reaching now. Running out of stories. What a wild evil thing to do to her. Chin up Duchess.
    I wish her a fabulous happy existence in the US. Twirl on all haters.

  5. Andy Dufresne says:

    Well, with Meghan it’s damn if you do, damn if you don’t.

    Antipathy is the flavour of the week. If the story is the opposite and she does join Harry in London, we would be hearing all kinds of BS about why is Meghan here, do we have to pay for their security, have their titles stripped, etc.

    I’m so over this. British Media, how about tell us the real story of what’s going on ie Wills and Kate’s separation. When are we going to hear an official announcement? After the Queen’s death anniversary?

  6. ThatsNotOkay says:

    The Sussexes have two children and one of them will be in school. She doesn’t need to be everywhere Harry is, especially if it means the kids will have neither parent around. I know families, the parents of which, after 9/11, decided they’d never travel on the same plane again at the same time. So one of them would likely always be around for the kids if something happened to the other. Morbid? Yes. But understandable. Not saying this is what is happening in the Sussex household, but just putting it out there that they have their reasons, and that’s that!

  7. Loretta says:

    “We don’t deserve her”
    Exatly this Tessa, you don’t deserve her. Period.

  8. Newt says:

    It wouldn’t matter if she did go with Harry to London…they’d figure out a way to drag her in the media (“why won’t MM go visit her father in law, The King?”). H&M are doing what they want to do and nothing more. And I don’t blame either of them.

  9. Oh dear they got what they wished for and now they are pissed. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. These people are the definition of insanity. She is gone and no matter what you say or do she’s not coming back.

    • Brit says:

      Insecurity is a dangerous thing. They do the same thing to Joe Biden whenever he doesn’t make Britain feel special about itself.

  10. MsIam says:

    But y’all (the media) keep telling us how unpopular she is in the UK. Some of y’all (the media) wanted her pelted with sh*t. You keep saying even Andrew is preferred over Meghan and you keep publishing polls to prove it. And yet you wonder why Meghan avoids the UK and feels antipathy? Meghan is too good for that place and I know she’s better than me because I would have paid for some billboards to tell the media to kiss my @ss from now till eternity.

  11. At this point the entire country needs to be put on the fixated persons list.

  12. Maxine Branch says:

    Meghan may have stayed if her husband wanted her to. For how long I do not know nor venture to guess. For the life of me I can not understand how Harry would have been satisfied to live a life of indentured servitude the rest of his life because this is all his life would have been. I along with many are happy Harry followed his heart by taking himself and his wife away from that nonsense. Harry’s love for his wife and child trumped his loyalty to his birth family.

    Meghan was indeed too good for that family. She had created a beautiful life for herself through her work and philanthropy while surrounded by good friends to become a member of an organization that is devoid of integrity, filled with jealousy and brinksmanship. Hopefully, she has centered herself and look at that debacle as a life lesson while keeping them firmly in the past.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      I don’t know that he was ever satisfied, but maybe thought it was his duty. He also expected Meghan to be protected once she joined the family, the way he saw was done for Keen. His naivety must have been a rude wake up call when he realized what was really going on and that his family were a bunch of cruel a$$holes, happy to abuse his wife and leak to the press.

      But I agree in being so glad that he said NO, I’m ending this cycle of abuse, and got his family out of there. And the fact that they were all surprised just shows how little they know – or even ever listened to – Harry. He said so many times that he hated England and the press, and would leave if he could.

      I’m just so happy for their little family and their found family like Nacho and all of Meghan’s girlfriends. I imagine Harry being at such peace now, with Meghan and their adorable children (and the lovely and loving Doria!) at his side.

    • Debbie says:

      Well, let’s not forget that Harry had created a life of philanthropy for himself as well, quite apart from his brother and the crown even. People here, even though they like Harry, usually seem to paint as a hapless person who just happened to be “saved” by Meghan. It’s a picture of him that I think is inaccurate, hardly seems like the kind of person Meghan would have fallen for, and it’s a picture that in modern times would not be perpetuated about a woman. He has his past, sure, but this is also a former soldier, someone who created a number of significant charities which still thrive to this day, and he was able to do that while under the royal yoke and well before finding Meghan and getting married. So, some good points were made but his was hardly just a case of a life of indentured servitude and “that’s all his life would have been.”

  13. Mcmmom says:

    The UK press seems to forget that Meghan isn’t just an American by citizenship, but also by philosophy. No, Meghan isn’t going to worship at the throne because it’s so deeply ingrained in Americans that the monarchy is, at its core, a stale and dated institution. No doubt she would have used her platform for good if they had let her, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she felt at least some relief at not having to be beholden to a system she had grown up believing was best in the past and replaced by a democratic republic.

    • Wannabefarmer says:

      Can you imagine having to bow to kate in public and private (because they’d insist on it in private to ‘put her in place’). Geezus. I think this is one of the reasons they are so mad, they were gleeful at the thought of it. That old saying everything happens for a reason is so, so true.

      • roooth says:

        Not just Meghan would have to bow, she would have to teach her children to bow to those morally debauched, evil people. No way will Meghan do that. There will be no family holidays spent with the family pedo, adulterers & grifters until Archie & Lilibet are old enough to understand who and what their relatives are

  14. Rapunzel says:

    Lol… they’re so sure Harry will be in Britain on the 8th. Um…Well Child Awards are the 7th. And planes leave London all the time. I’m betting he high tails it straight to the airport for Duesseldorf and doesn’t stay the night. Would serve ’em all right.

    • Jais says:

      That’s what I’m thinking too. Who’s to say he won’t fly out right after the well child awards? He may want to already be in Germany the next day and getting ready for the big games. His accommodation for Germany is likely locked up tight and secure. Why not spend the night there? There may be some egg on some faces if they keep insisting he’ll absolutely be in the UK on sept 8th.

    • Snuffles says:

      Exactly, Harry is going to high tail it out of there as soon as that event is over. Germany will probably send him a private plane.

      • Debbie says:

        I’m quite sure that Harry has his “travelin’ hanger” ready for the plane, just as he did for Charles’ Coronation. He won’t stay in England one minute longer than he has to, and neither would I.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      Totally agree, he’ll be on the first flight to Germany (maybe even a German government plane!). I mean, we saw after the coronation he went straight to the airport without even changing clothes! A literal hanger as his carry-on. I don’t think he’ll spend even one single night in England.

    • anotherlily says:

      That’s exactly what he did after Charles’s Coronation. All the other royals went to Buckingham Palace for balcony waving and a celebration lunch. Harry went to Heathrow airport and was on a flight home before tea-time.

    • Gabby says:

      Right. The Well Child Awards are probably in the afternoon, since it’s a bunch of kids. I hope H flies out to Germany that same evening. The RR will blow all their gaskets if he isn’t in the UK on the BIG DEATH ANNIVERSARY. Dare I say, that’s better than cake.

    • Lucky Charm says:

      And it’s only an hour and a half (or less) flight time between Heathrow and Duesseldorf. No reason at all for him to stay the night in London.

    • roooth says:

      The tabloids, like the RF, have no concept of what really working is like. Harry will have a million last minute details to attend to at Dusseldorf before the Games start. His work started long before the Opening Ceremony will happen, and he will still be working after the Closing ceremony. An event of this magnitude is so far beyond the capabilities of any other member of the RF that the UK gutter media always assumes Harry can treat the Games like a royal photo op & just show up for pics. Harry will go straight to Dusseldorf after WellChild because he has work to do. And Harry knows how to work.

  15. Brassy Rebel says:

    Refusing to show up to be abused in person by the royal commentators. And the family. What a monster!

  16. maisie says:

    Obviously she doesn’t understand the actual meaning of “begging the question”-it’s not this.

  17. Izzy says:

    I hope Harry leaves for Dusseldorf that night after the ceremony and does a big public appearance on the morning of the 8th.

    • Rapunzel says:

      I hope we see him at the airport the night of September 7th with his hanger of freedom, lol.

      • SussexWatcher says:

        Lol, hanger of freedom.

        I agree – pics of him at the airport right after the ceremony with his hanger.

      • Jais says:

        Omg yes, it will definitely be the hanger of freedom that upstages William and Kate’s event.

  18. Flowerlake says:

    Meghan is welcome on continental Europe and she knows it.
    Am happy she is not stopping at that place that gave her so much hate.

  19. SarahCS says:

    Thatcher famously said “the lady’s not for turning” so it’s an interesting turn of phrase to associate him with her. He’s a useful idiot for the tories but this feels like a small yank on his chain.

    As for Meghan, why on earth would she come here??? Have a fab time in Düsseldorf Sussexes.

  20. Lorelei says:

    You don’t say! I wonder why on earth Meghan has antipathy toward Britain?!

    JFC, these people. Truly some of the least self-aware lunatics on the planet.

    • Selene says:

      “We don’t deserve her, at least so she probably thinks.”

      Ummm… y’all don’t.

      • Lorelei says:

        Every once in a while, they get something right — except not in the way they mean it. It’s hilarious to watch.

  21. Catherine says:

    Meghan has never said anything negative about Britain or British people. She has talked about how she was treated by the media and the family. Saying she has antipathy for the UK is a trick to get people in the country to turn on her. A way to incite hate toward her. This is a critical distinction because the media misleads the public when they say her problem was with the country. It’s done on purpose to distract from the abuse they directed toward her.

  22. Angie says:

    I keep remembering what Meghan said in that interview with that ITV guy in South Africa about not just surviving but being happy. Meghan is following her own pursuit of happiness enshrined in our Declaration of Independence. Meghan to me is seeking a life of service and happiness with her family. She owes the Glums (Royal Family) nothing and they and the brit tabloids can’t stand it. I am so glad she is ignoring the insanity on that isle and living her life on her terms. Bravo Meghan!

    • Lorelei says:

      The RF isn’t happy, so they don’t want anyone else to be. And they certainly don’t think Meghan deserves to be happy ever again in her lifetime.

      They’re like pathetic little toddlers, always having public tantrums.

      They take “misery loves company” to new levels.

  23. girl_ninja says:

    Funny enough, Meghan visited London way before she met Harry. She even moved her entire LIFE to that place in order to live with her husband and serve. She did a really great job too. So miss me with this Meghan doesn’t think her sh!t stinks and acts as though she’s too good for Britan. All you have to do is look to Princess Waity for that distinction.

  24. Amy Bee says:

    Is Tessa Dunlop saying that Meghan is wrong for not returning to the UK? I hope not.

    • Nick G says:

      Tessa Dunlop really puzzles me. Pretty sure she was on tv defending the Sussexes and fighting with Piers Morgan, she made that hilarious “mutton” comment about Kate, but then she takes several jabs here at Meghan and has done it before. I’m sure the Squad has receipts. Is she just hedging her bets or what?

      • Jais says:

        Yeah, she takes jabs. It’s like the Guardian vibes. Some writers there will defend the Sussexes but then take subtle jabs. It just feels like a snarky tabloid mentality. Brain rotting.

      • BQM says:

        Dunlop is certainly no squaddie but she is far removed from the Levin, Morgan, Wooten brigade as well.

  25. Scooby Gang says:

    Every time the BM start this nonsense, I hear one of Pink’s songs – Leave Me Alone (I’m Lonely) – in my head. Particularly this part…

    Go away, come back
    Go away, come back
    Why can’t I just have it both ways?

    • roooth says:

      The UK tabloid gutter media remind me of a line from the children’s book, “Where the Wild Things Are”, where the monsters whine to the book’s hero: “Please don’t go, we’ll eat you up, we love you so”….and they gnashed their terrible teeth…..

  26. Noor says:

    Tut, tut, tut. So unprofessional of Dr Tessa Dunlop as a historian and an Oxford graduate to write in this manner. All done for a paycheck.

  27. Mary Pester says:

    Dunlop, the make of a tyre, very appropriate because she can just roll on with this crap. Megan doesn’t hate anyone, if people treat her like garbage, OR write garbage about her (after being briefed by the worthless Royals), she takes the HIGH GROUND, while they, in their desperation for ANYTHING Megan related, sink lower into the sewer,. No one in the BRF or the rabid press is worth a second of Megan or Harry’s time. So they can cry her a river, as far as Megan and Harry are concerned, his father, his incandescent brother and mean girl sister in law have made their bed, been tucked in by the British rags and can stay there till they shrivel away.

    • BothSidesNow says:

      @ Mary Pester, Happy ❤️ Wedding ❤️ Anniversary to you and Glynn of 34 Magical Years 🎉!!!
      Mary, you and Glynn both deserve as many accolades and cheers 🥳 for having been together for such an inspirational amount of time❣️❣️ 🥳 🎉 ❤️ 🎉

      PS, please share your secret as I too find my husband daft and making me crazy too as I would love to strangle him sometimes, and he deserves it too!! 😝

      • Mary Pester says:

        @bothsidesnow, thank you lovey, yes 35 years and still love him /want to scream at him at times, have to hobble out of the room at times. But it’s love pure and simple that holds us together, but, there are a couple of secrets I can spill, favourite end to an argument used to be me saying, sweetheart I’m not going to argue with you because I know I’m right “😋, he always used to burst out laughing because I had a smile on my face when I said it. another one, is to look him in the eye when he’s moaning, not say a word, and when he stutters to a stop and says” well say something “I just answer with,” do you want a cup of tea “? He always says yes so I hobble into the kitchen, end of rant from him lol, but THE BEST way to handle every day life with him and I think a lot of husbands (and wives lol) is ear buds with favourite music playing, that way you can shut it All out and not argue back, 😋😋😋

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Mary Pester, “can be tucked in by the British rags”, LOL. I agree with much of what you said. It is most of the brf, bm and derangers who H&M don’t want to feed in any way. I think Meghan will go where she wants when she wants to. I can’t help but think that the brf and bm won’t know–unless someone Harry notifies of his presence in the country 30 days beforehand leaks that information. If that was leaked it tells a story in itself. A grim story.

  28. YeahRight says:

    Meghan has kids who are in school (I’m sure Lili like her big bro did when he was her age started going to a daycare like school now) and an actual job. She doesn’t have time to follow Harry everywhere. Harry is a big boy he can travel by himself.

    • roooth says:

      Agreed. Archie’s first week of school is probably starting soon. Harry & Meghan will want at least one of them to be there for the start of a new school year. Meghan wouldn’t want to be gone from them for a whole week when school is just starting.

  29. BlueNailsBetty says:

    I’m no expert on Meghan or her travel choices, however, I’m pretty sure her children and their needs are a deciding factor as to when and where she will travel. Also, until the security issue has been resolved in England I doubt she feels safe traveling to Salt Isle.

    Maybe if the BM and the royals would quit encouraging people to hate her/commit violence against her she might want to go back for visits. But for now, there is no reason/benefit for her to step foot on England’s soil.

      The same week #AngelaLevinIsALiar said Meghan would want to come to Chuck & his Ho’s crowning because Meghan would want to be seen wearing a tiara, was the week the oleaginous porker, #RobertJobsonIsAPig said Meghan’s then 3 yr old son, Archie, should be tortured by hanging him over the edge of a balcony, and all the #HateForHire liars with him giggled at how funny the idea of torturing a 3 yr old was.

      Someone might point out to @TessaDunlop that this obnoxious, hateful treatment of Meghan and her children is why the UK may never see them come there again. The RF & the gutter media do not deserve to have Meghan and her children in their lives.

    I didn’t realize that an ‘expected no show’ is something to put on the calendar 🤷‍♀️ Perhaps I will now flag my days off as such. If Kate enters this into the court circular her numbers will soar

  31. HeatherC says:

    It’s not antipathy. It’s apathy. She’s done with that country and I believe she couldn’t care less. That gray, miserable cake filled island isn’t on her radar anymore, not when she’s got some authentic Black Forest Cake waiting for her in Germany.

  32. Tiffany says:

    Their brain is broken because the gig is up. Being a royal ‘journalists’ is a job that should have never existed. Harry’s lawsuits and potential wins can be the breaking point for this grifters and they can’t hold down a legitimate job and they know it.

  33. Louise177 says:

    “the last of which was practically a hostage situation following QEII’s passing”. Why does this site keep saying Harry and Meghan were held hostage for the funeral? They could come and go as they wanted. They could have left and come back from the US but doesn’t make sense logistically. They left when the funeral was over so I doubt they were “hostages”.

    There hasn’t been a reason for Meghan to be in the UK. She actually could be going to England but not the awards. Which would be really funny. I think Meghan will come to England eventually for friends, charity, and work but not make a big show of it.

  34. L4Frimaire says:

    Why exactly do these people want Meghan in the UK? What possible reason? They have let it be known internationally how much they hate her, how they want to harm her so why are they complaining she chooses not to come? She has better things to do with her time than waste it on worrying about her safety in hostile territory, and Harry knows it too. These people are sadistic.

  35. Norvell says:

    The British Press ruined everything for those who want to see Meghan return to the UK. Why would Meghan visit a country full of racist people that show such unfair contempt for her? While many British citizens say they love her, why don’t they protest against the British Media for the lies they print and tell?

  36. QuiteContrary says:

    It bugs the hell out of me when the subject of the Sussexes’ security is treated as an afterthought.

    Of course Meghan isn’t going to visit England unless absolutely necessary because she’s NOT safe there. Harry knows this and undoubtedly insists on her staying away because he loves her. It’s not a mystery, rota morons.

    • Christine says:

      Agreed, and this is flat out misrepresenting the situation entirely. Harry wants to be able to pay for police protection, rather than rely on private security who can’t carry guns and don’t get briefed by the government on threats to the Sussexes.

      No one is arguing that anyone other than the Sussexes should pay for their security, they are begging to pay for appropriate security when they are in the U.K.

    • Well Wisher says:

      @Quite contrary
      Your observation about the importance of being and feeling SAFE amongst other things, is on point….

      The Sussexes’ have children to consider…

  37. lanne says:

    The British media is essentially saying, “Come to the UK so we can finish the job of breaking your spirit. And bring the children so that we can break their spirits too. If you won’t live with us, we won’t let you live peacefully without us.”

    Right out of the abusers playbook. Lundy Bancroft’s book, “Why Does He Do That” breaks down the rationale and modus operandi of abusive men. The British media has explicitly demonstated every single one of the author’s hallmarks of abusers. The royal family has condoned it, and probably done the same thing behind closed doors.

    Really, it’s a great book to read for anyone facing an abusive home situation–it’s available as a free PDF. It’s a sobering read.

    • roooth says:

      I feel the same way about “People of the Lie”, on the psychology of Evil. Also a sobering read, but it is essential for mental health to know when you are dealing with people whose intentions are evil

  38. Eliora says:

    Meghan’s love of the UK was clear. She visited of her own free will several times prior to marriage, married a prince of the UK and chose to live there after marriage. Meghan isn’t the one with apathy for the UK. The UK press and public turned on Meghan. Literally told her to “go home” before Sussexit, then again when she turned up to pay respect to a dearly departed monarch. In fact it was the classless and cruel denizens of the UK that took Queen Elizabeth’s funeral as the perfect opportunity to “stick it to Meghan” by making her feel like an unwelcomed pariah.

    These so-called journalists must forget that the cruelty of the press and British public was on the world stage for all to see. The UK made its dislike of Meghan very clear during QEII’s funeral. Meghan would have to be a masochist to not stay away from the UK.

    If Meghan does choose to visit the UK in the future, it will be out of the abundant love that she still has for the UK (despite everything), it’s few decent citizens and of course her husband/family.

  39. MikeB says:

    Tessa Dunlop never fails to spout nonsense. The UK has made it clear that Meghan is not welcome in the country and yet continue to shed tears when she doesn’t appear on command because Harry will be there. The tabloid rota is upset because they can’t savage her like a pack of hungry wolves. Well done Meghan for being your own person and Harry for not exposing your wife to that toxic country.

  40. Isabella says:

    They left Meghan standing alone, in full view of the cameras at the Queen’s funeral. You can’t get much lower than that,

    • Cassie says:

      If I went through what Meghan went through after the Queen’s death there is no way on this earth I would set foot in that place .
      I felt her pain , it was truly inhumane treatment .
      They really do not deserve her .
      Disgusting people all of them .

  41. AC says:

    I don’t blame Meghan. After all the hurt and damage that they and a lot of people in that country caused you, of course you just want to evict them from your mind and heart . It’s like who wants to go back to a toxic and abusive relationship, you take them out of your life and move on. Any normal person who wants to move on wouldn’t look back .
    I agree with @brit a lot of Americans also don’t care what they think, and because of that don’t even care to visit that country. And guess whose now butt hurt over it.

  42. hangonamin says:

    SHE. IS. AN. AMERICAN…who lived in the UK for like 3 years, all but like maybe 5 months were absolutely miserable. she owes no allegiance to the country that made her feel like sh*T. i bet if she had it her way she’d give back all the dumb aristocratic titles and just live quietly in monies with Harry in the US. her own personal attitudes towards UK are probably super negative now…no one was really kind to her there (no one that really could protect her anyways) and it’s a country full of jackals that would love to rip her into pieces. why would she support anything related to the UK…she has no ties culturally or in terms of family other than Harry. it’s not wrong to say she’s done with a country that made her miserable.

  43. The Fifth Element says:

    Well I’m baffled. Can’t think why Meghan would want to miss William’s grilling.

  44. Serenity says:

    She’s right. They DON’T deserve her. Y’all coulda had a Bad B!tch, but y’all just had to FAFO. Cry into your tea & leave the rest of us (the 🌎) out of it.

  45. vpd4 says:

    They’re all jealous, angry & obsessed.

  46. Lady Digby says:

    As it happens I quite like Tessa Dunlop. For me this article only states the obvious. Despite the frantic efforts of the tabloids to say otherwise Harry is just passing through. Meghan is staying away. There will be no reconciliation.

    Where she goes wrong is to say that Meghan has antipathy for Britain (as a whole) and suggested why (without mentioning the very press coverage she is answering).
