A dumb story about Prince Harry & Meghan’s ‘professional separation’ went viral

The vibes have definitely been awful since Donald Trump “won” the election. Whatever is happening in Mar-a-Lago, it’s not about Prince Harry and Meghan. The Trumpers have bigger things on their plate. And yet… the British media has been happily buzzing for weeks about how the incoming Trump administration will absolutely deport Harry. Add to that, the same people are trying to say that Harry and Meghan have a “professional separation,” which is Britspeak for “Harry and Meghan have had separate work events in recent months.” The NY Post decided to report on Meghan’s recent dinner with Afghan immigrants in the most delusional, exploitative way, and the tweet went viral.

You can look at the comments and quote-tweets if you want to see a lot of toxic, illiterate men screaming about how Meghan homewrecked the royal family and ruined Harry’s life. I scanned through a few of the bios, and wouldn’t you know, most of those comments are from MAGAts. Meanwhile, I believe that Harry and Meghan did buy a villa in Portugal, and I think it probably is their backup plan, plus an investment property. Speaking of, the British media is also reporting that the villa still hasn’t been completed – it’s part of a new luxury-home development, that’s why Jack Brooksbank works there, he’s selling units in the development. Sources also say that Harry and Meghan aren’t actually moving to Portugal… right now.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have suffered a blow as their Portugal home remains “incomplete”, a source has claimed. Last month, it was reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex purchased a new £3.6million villa in Portugal, near Princess Eugenie’s residence. However, according to the source, the property is not yet ready for use and will only ever be used as a holiday home.

They claimed: “The villa in Portugal is more an investment than anything else and construction hasn’t even been completed yet. It hasn’t been purchased as a new home, but more as a holiday retreat and something they can put their money into to protect their assets.”

News of the couple purchasing a holiday home in Portugal comes amid Donald Trump’s US election victory. Prince Harry, 40, is currently entangled in legal proceedings over his US immigration status. Recent reports suggested Trump’s victory earlier this month had “sent the Sussexes into a spin” due to the previous comments he made about expelling Harry from the US.

However, a source told The Express: “Harry and Meghan are not fazed by the comments Trump made because they believe they have done everything correctly. Meghan is a US citizen, and Archie has just started a new school, so to leave the place they call home isn’t even an option.”

Yeah, I hope that some Heritage douchebag doesn’t get in Trump’s ear and convince him to do something about their special project. But it is a possibility, and I’m glad that the Sussexes were thinking ahead. I’m also glad that they have the money to buy the villa as an investment property.

    Personally I’m so 🥰 that Meghan is continuing to EXPAND on the issues that she had BEFORE she became a part of that horror show & showing the 🌎 that she dosen’t have to be GLUED to Harry…which is how MOST couples have to run their lives when they’re wholly realized human beings.

  2. the Robinsons says:

    HM owe no explanations on how they approach their work lives. Very few of us in our careers work with our spouses or partners. They don’t work for the BRF anymore — but Pegs and Buttons do. The British Tabloids need to stop.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      Exactly this👆🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.. the way that they target the Sussex’s is unnerving. As for the magas they just are hateful people with dark souls, they won’t ever stop hating, even when they win it just amplifies their hatred.. this makes them dangerous and the Sussex’s would be foolish to not have an escape plan. I am glad they are having a home built in Portugal.. I hope they have one in Canada someday also.

    • Sass says:

      @The Robinsons exactly! I laughed when I read the “professional separation” line. Ok??? My husband and I have never worked together, hell we have never even been in the same field of work!

    • BeanieBean says:

      Of course! They’re also forgetting that a while back the rota rats wrote about how Kate & William would be doing more solo engagements, which was covered as a good thing. Didn’t happen of course, because a) they always write about what those two are going to do; and b), those two never do anything anyway.

  3. Dee(2) says:

    This whole visa thing is based around the idea that Harry must have lied, but what happens when/if they finally get to see his application and everything is above board? Then what? He should be deported just because? And this whole, Harry and Meghan are doing things separately so they are 5 seconds from divorce is so tiresome. Excluding the Royal family, I want you to think about any other high profile couple Serena and Alexis, Beyonce and Jay Z, Kamala and Doug, Michelle and Barack, even George and Amal. Do you see them constantly together when they are working? They way the viscerally want to ruin this man’s life and break him down to nothing is just so disgusting. All because they know that he should have been the heir and couldn’t deal with their jealousy and stupid hierarchy to treat him just fairly nothing more.

    • sevenblue says:

      He is suing Murdoch. It will get uglier in order to make him settle. TMZ, NY Post, they are all serving Murdoch’s agenda.

      • Jais says:

        Bingo. But the thing is they’ve been so ugly already it’s like what more do u have. Meghan and Harry have seen it all so their tricks aren’t working. Like Oooh they’re professionally separating! Bfd. But I do worry what they’ll do next as the usual tricks don’t work.

    • SueBarbri33 says:

      So if M&H are *professionally separated*, what should we call Will and Kate’s arrangement?

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      There is a lot of overlap in the way the right wing media “reports” on both Meghan and Kamala Harris. I mean, a LOT. Of course, one of them is actually active in politics. But the other mostly minds her own business and rarely speaks out. So what could they possibly have in common? 🤔

    • Becks1 says:

      My husband went to his office yesterday while i worked from home. PROFESSIONAL SEPARATION!!!!!

    • Camomile says:

      The actual royals who are driving this distraction MOSTLY have separate events from their spouses too. They always have. That’s what’s so laughable.

  4. ThatGirlThere says:

    I got rid of twitter some time ago. This was before it became a right wing – nationalist hellsite that assisted in upending our election. But that aside, Harry and Meghan going viral about bullshit is not a surprise, because they are super stars and they get those clicks.

    I go out of my way not to click on any TMZ, Sun, DM or NYP sites. They traffic in lies, hatred, envy and misery.

  5. sevenblue says:

    Such a dumb storyline. They always had their own separate projects, then the projects they both supported. I remember the british media was also talking about divorce for months, then they did Invictus in Germany, which made German media admit the stories coming from UK were all lies. I am guessing the same thing is gonna happen since Invictus Canada is coming up.

    Also, I believe sane people mostly left Twitter for Bluesky. So, it is not surprising this kind of stories is popular among current Twitter crowd. I am surprised that the community notes are still standing though.

    • ThatGirlThere says:

      Always. When they were on Shutter Island they had separate patronages. Why would that change now with the organizations they currently support?

      The real story with the royals are the ones with the lower case r who keep hiding Kate for certain events. And how Will insists on cosplaying Harry.

  6. somebody says:

    Maybe they can’t stand that Meghan feels free and safe in the US, but had to have PH’s support to survive the BM and RF. I think even PH feels more free now. He used to do interviews about not being comfortable being in England.

  7. Julia says:

    So glad I deleted Twitter from my phone . Never going back to that cesspool. I agree with others who say that Harry and Meghan are no longer working royals and owe no explanation to the media as to how they carry out their public engagements. It’s normal to work separately from your spouse, they no longer need to follow the royal model as they are private citizens.

  8. Ginger says:

    Harry and Meghan have been seen together a lot this year, so these separation stories are just British fanfic. They desperately need Harry back. This past year has really shown how weak the monarchy really is. Married couples do live and work outside their spouse. If Harry and Meghan did everything together they would complain about that as well.

    • Jais says:

      That’s what’s so silly. They’ve really been seen a lot together in the past year. But that gets omitted as they push their false narrative. Nigeria, Colombia, polo outings, like come on.

  9. Maxine Branch says:

    Very proud of how the confident Sussexes are living their best lives doing separate projects enabling each to follow their passion. For me this is how you do it. Most husband and wives have different jobs. They do not stop being husband and wife because they have different jobs. (LOL). The gutter UK press and its associates cannot stand that this couple is standing, thriving and looking good without looking back at them.

    • Bamaborn says:

      And …the irony is a lot of these hateful(Maga) people contributed to Prince Harry and Princess Meghan’s independence when they bought Spare to rage read. His paperback copy wouldn’t have gone to #1 in UK if some of these people weren’t buying also. smh

  10. Lala11_7 says:

    I haven’t been on Twitter or watched MSM news since the Monday BEFORE the portal of Hell opened & I’m NOT going back…I’ve enjoyed my time on Bluesky where I’m not shadowbanned & can ACTUALLY engage & not be assaulted by fascist BS….it’s lovely 🥰

  11. Nic919 says:

    This is all projection for other couple. They are dying to say something about the obvious separation between William and Kate, but instead they invent terms for Harry and Meghan. And once the New York Post took the story it gained traction because it isn’t automatically dismissed as what is done with UK tabloids.

  12. martha says:

    Oh, gawd – it’s either the all-nighter I just pulled or sight of the Trump name, but I honestly misread that sentence as: won the ‘ejection.

    chudder

  13. Teddy says:

    Isn’t Canada also an option for H&M?

    • Julia says:

      Possibly but Charles is the head of state so it may prove difficult for them politically if the royal family leans on the Canadian gov things could become difficult for H&M.

      • Jaded says:

        Charles has no political role or power here in Canada. The Head of State is strictly non-partisan and, in fact, wields no real power at all. The role is purely ceremonial, so he’s not able to “lean on the government” to prevent the Sussexes from living here.

      • Oh come on. says:

        The Canadian govt doesn’t take any orders from the British monarch. Canadians dgaf about Charles. Also, if Harry is in Canada lawfully, I don’t think our government (even if PP is elected) would look for reasons to deport him. I don’t think people need to promise to have never used drugs to visit Canada, and you don’t get deported from Canada because someone claims you lied on your US visa application.

      • Nic919 says:

        Canadians won’t care if they aren’t paying for security. That was the only complaint some Canadians had. They don’t give a shit about Charles.

    • Amy Bee says:

      I doubt they will be leaving the US.

  14. Noor says:

    when you have a weak press regulator, the tabloid click bait writers can run wild with their baseless speculation n fancies.

  15. Amy Bee says:

    I’m probably one of the few who doesn’t believe the Portugal story for the mere fact that it keeps changing and the British press just seems to be throwing things at the wall to see if will stick and hoping that Harry and Meghan would be respond to their cries for attention. The same applies to the separation story. For anyone who was paying attention, it was clear when Meghan signed to WME that she was going focus a lot of her time to her business ventures and Harry was going to focus on mainly on his philanthropy work.

  16. Lilpeppa40 says:

    These people just never make any sense. How is it a blow that the Portugal house isn’t complete yet? (If they really bought one) Do they think they purchased not knowing it was pre or mid construction? And if it’s delayed, do they think that’s abnormal in construction? It’s just so dumb the way they desperately try to make everything negative for them

    • BeanieBean says:

      I know, it’s so dumb! They have a perfectly lovely home; if they truly bought this place in Portugal, it’s a second home, a vacation home, whatever. They’re not in dire need of anything right now.

  17. QuiteContrary says:

    This is all so dumb. H&M are doing what any successful professional couple does — working on their own projects, splitting the workload of their shared enterprises and living happily together in private.

  18. mightymolly says:

    IDK, they might want to preemptively leave. Maybe felon47 has no teeth, but I suspect the arrests of his perceived enemies are going to start very quickly after Jan. 20th. It sucks that it will be disruptive to the children’s schooling, but a lot of kids are going to have their lives completely upended in the near future and a temporary move to Portugal is nice option to have.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      mightymolly, they live in a blue state, so they don’t need to leave. I live in a blue state–Dem Governor and all other elected state officials, plus Dem state house and senate. Washington state was the leader for litigation during the Orange Blobs last term and we’ll probably be the lead this time, too. The blue states will be holding the line, which is going to really anger the people behind the Orange Blob’s administration.

      • mightymolly says:

        And their children will be fine because they will always attend private school and have access to health care, but if orangilini sets Harry in his crosshairs for whatever reason, they should leave. Harry isn’t a political figure so it’s not clear to my why he’d be a target, but small hands has always had a weird obsession with him and Megan.

      • Ciotog says:

        The West Coast is probably the safest place to be, at least in the US, during Trump’s term.

      • mightymolly says:

        I don’t really understand the sense that governors can stand against a military effort at deportations. California doesn’t have a military, and immigration is not a state’s rights issue. As long as the GOP continues their farce of believing in state’s rights, there are many ways in which legal U.S. residents living in blue states will be better off, but what is deemed a legal status is not up to the states and this is where it’s going to get scary fast.

        ETA: Yeah, this might not ever really impact Harry, but personally if I had their resources, I’d be packing right now.

  19. kelleybelle says:

    Everything they wished for Harry and Meghan has happened to WanK. Good show!

  20. Mooney says:

    Can’t imagine being Meghan Markle when a certain section of the world population is praying for their marriage to break so that they can have a told you so moment. May everything bad wished upon them rebound on the haters.

  21. bisynaptic says:

    LOL they’ve “suffered a blow”, because their purported house hasn’t instantly been completed? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA… HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH…

  22. Maja says:

    It’s not about separation at all, they are trying to draw attention to violent things. This right-wing “…..” speak of “deportation”, deliberately fuelling memories of the deportation of Jewish people and liberal politicians in Germany to the mass extermination camps. The next few years will be horrific for all of us. No one will feel comfortable anymore. No one. Not even those who promote this right-wing madness all over the world. I’m very glad the Sussexes have a choice with Portugal.

  23. HuffnPuff says:

    Prince Harry isn’t entangled in anything over his immigration status. The only entanglements have come from the Heritage Foundation. The same Americans who just love the royal family in all its colonialist and racist glory. The same Americans who are desperate for a dictator/king and not a president.

    • Maja says:

      With this absolutist ruler, elected by 72 out of 264 million Americans, there will be only chaos and no more laws. It won’t matter what anyone did or didn’t do. Anyone who disagrees with the cult leaders will be deported. People obviously don’t believe how bad it’s going to be. Look at the transcripts of the Nuremberg trials and read about the “3rd Reich”. You will find much of what is being advocated by right-wing extremists around the world today.
