I actually don’t have one big explanatory theory for this weekend’s storyline about “Prince Harry wants his father to extend an invitation to Sandringham this summer.” I’ve known for months that as the calendar crept closer to July, we would get more gossip about Harry’s visit for the One Year To Go Invictus Games events in Birmingham. I also knew that the British press would spend months creating convoluted arguments for why Meghan Must Show Up, and conversely, Why Meghan Isn’t Welcome In the UK. Additionally, we’ve known for years that Harry wants his father to spend more time with Archie and Lili. So where does that leave us? Trying to figure out who is briefing what to which royal reporter, basically. It seems reasonable to think that Harry’s side put the Sandringham-invite story out there as a trial balloon. It also seems reasonable to think that King Charles and Prince William’s offices often brief against Harry by pretending to be Team Sussex. So I don’t know.
A few things I’d like to note though. One, in the Times story, a source close to Harry was quoted as saying: “He’d like an invite to Sandringham. Would he go? It would depend who was there.” Yes, it would depend on who was there, because whenever Harry is in the UK, his brother runs away, rage-shrieking the entire time. Hilariously, in the Daily Mail’s version of the same story, Becky English wrote: “Notably the Prince and Princess of Wales – from whom he remains firmly estranged – also spend much of their holidays at Sandringham, where they have a country home, Anmer Hall.” As in, Harry can’t come to Sandringham in July, William and Kate spend months doing nothing at Anmer Hall every summer!! Harry better not force William to flee his sixth forever home, someone call the waaaambulance. Well, enjoy this story, which will be repeatedly endlessly for the next three months:
The Prince and Princess of Wales have no intention of seeing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex if they return to the UK this summer, royal sources have said. Prince Harry hopes to be invited by the King to spend some “family time”, with his wife and two young children, in Norfolk this summer, according to reports.
The Duchess of Sussex has not visited Britain since September 2022, when the couple attended Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, and Archie and Lilibet have not been to the UK since the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June that year. Sources close to Harry said he would welcome an invitation to Sandringham, the King’s estate in Norfolk, where the Prince and Princess of Wales also have their country home, Anmer Hall.
But sources close to the Prince and Princess of Wales have revealed their personal stance on the Sussexes “has not changed”. The source added: “If the King was to invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to stay with him, that is a matter for His Majesty alone. The Prince and Princess of Wales’s position has not changed and they would not make arrangements to see them outside of them potentially attending an official public engagement.”
“…They would not make arrangements to see them outside of them potentially attending an official public engagement….” Meaning what, exactly? What kind of official public engagement would William and Kate NOT run away from if Harry and Meghan were there? It sounds like Will and Kate are paranoid as hell that Charles might actually invite the Sussexes to do something in public? I’ll give the Waleses a little treat – the Sussexes don’t give a sh-t about the all-white balcony or anything else. Anyway, you get the idea, and if you don’t, you will be force-fed the same quotes for the next three months. William refuses to see his brother! Kate refuses to see Meghan! William and Kate are mad, mad, mad. And childish, and dumb and arrogant. And incandescent with rage!

Well, see u at the funeral then.
I’ve always believed willy nilly will either ban Harry or put him up the back. He’s mentally a child, low iq, narcissistic, thinks everything is about him. More importantly he’d remove security. In which case, I suspect Harry may not attend
@StillDouchesOfCambridge…..that part😒
Please. All this does is make William and Kate look pathetic and childish.
It makes them sound like unpleasant people. To put it mildly
It truly does, it’s behavior you expect out of adolescent children not grown *ss adults. It’s like they can’t even pretend to control their emotions (which seem to always be rage filled hate). I can’t even begin to imagine the disfunction their children are being raised in with two very narcissistic, racist, angry and emotional stunted parents. Maybe boarding schools would be an oasis for home for those kids.
There is no way those kids aren’t being damaged by parents who despise each other and fight with every member of the family.
Sandringham is Charles’ home in Norfolk yeah? And then the wales are at anmer hall? How close are two houses really? As close as houghton hall is to anmer hall! I guess I just don’t see the big deal. Aren’t these places big enough that they wouldn’t run into each other?
Yes except the notion of this visit is still fiction, as it’s been for 2x weeks. Harry ain’t asking at all. Its totally made up. . It’s filler garbage for the rota. Easter will be so boring. I love this for them
Wikipedia says 3 miles. Should be safe enough to not accidently meet. And there is always Mustique as an alternative. Or some shady billionair’s yacht. Or one of the other for-ever-homes. Or Frogmore House where they lately tend to take their formal photos. Dear Walses, I wouldn’t worry that much. On the contrary! When the Sussexes are in town they will dominate all the headlines. Soooo, you can cancel your engagement of the week, stay home and chill, because literally no one will be interested in you. Win – win!
Except we have to remember that even that short of a distance hasn’t meant anything in the past when it comes to the childish and immature Wales couple. Harry and Meghan were evicted from FC which wasn’t that far from the Wales in Windsor. The Wales even moved to Windsor after the Sussexes left the UK and still had FC to occasionally return to. So having a short distance between them doesn’t matter when it comes to the Wales throwing tantrums.
Why do they feel the need to tell people this? The only people that would get a jolly out of seeing the four of them together is the media for clicks. No Sussex fan wants Harry, Meghan, or their children close to the Wales’, and the Wales ” fans” are terrified of any close comparison of body language, fashion, and charisma.
They’re going to treat this just like the coronation. Weeks of speculation, and when they get confirmation, weeks of recrimination regardless of what decision is made. And then during the actual event, if Meghan is there they’ll spend all their time trying to get close to her and be hypercritical of anything she says or does. And if she’s not there, they will pretend that she abandoned Harry.
I totally agree that the rota will treat this just like the coronation and the jubbly before it, with endless speculation about when/if/how the Sussexes should be banned or invited. I can’t really blame the rota for it, though – it’s hard to get clicks for the rest of the family, so they need Harry and Meghan’s star power more than ever.
Frankly, I put a lot of the blame on Charles and his terrible leadership. I’ve had managers like this who won’t make decisions because they just want to be liked by everyone and it means hard things get put off, or implemented half-assed, or things are left ambiguous. But at least those managers could eventually be fired!
Charles’ office could say “Of course I want to see my son when he’s here for the event for the Invictus games.” or “Unfortunately, I will be elsewhere during the Invictus games. Go team GB!” Or whatever. It wouldn’t end all of the speculation (the rota’s got to eat) but it would provide some clarity and also put William in his place.
Why are there always stories about William and Charles refusing to see Harry? We already know this and no one including Harry cares.
Why would the sussexes want to see the petty keens
THIS☝🏾
The last time we had pictures of them all together was the funeral. At the time there was so much commentary about Meghan being the oldest one in the photo and yet looking 10 year younger. So yeah i bet the wales are terrified of having to do another public event with them. I just don’t see it happening though unless it’s for another funeral.
I believe it’s the press pretending that Harry is briefing the press for several reasons. They hope to get a reaction from Harry. This only worked when the Sun put out the story about the meeting with Charles last September. They want a reaction from Charles and William which they got through the DM and the Mirror. The press wants the public to believe that they still have access to Harry and to start the narrative about Harry visiting in July. It’s not known that Harry have any affinity for Sandringham so it’s feel weird for him to say that he would love to go there but he will only go there depending on who was there. I mean Harry do you want to see your father or not? I think the only thing true about the story is what Harry said in the BBC interview which is the only time he will get security is if Charles invites him.
I agree, I don’t know why it’s reasonable to think that Harry is leaking that he wants an invite to Sandringham when he’s going to Birmingham and he doesn’t even have security for his family. Was Harry a staple at sandringham before all this? Was he dying to go there before? This is just the press hoping to get shots of Meghan and the kids.
yeah, putting this story out and getting these comment about W&K not wanting to see H&M give the press something to write about for the next few weeks while the Wales are on vacation again.
Also how much time does charles spend at Sandringham in the summer? I feel like he’s more likely to be in Scotland for the later part or Highgrove if he’s not at Windsor.
It is weird that it’s about sandrigham and not balmoral which seems like a more likely place to visit. Isn’t that where the family goes to visit each other in the summer?
Harry visits in July? I just saw the side of an estate open to the public in July and August, closed on the 10th and 11th in July. I have a feeling where Harry really might be.
Well thank god because if this visit happens, I guarantee fake cancer kkkate and dumb willy are not on their list either.
So media, you can go back to the multi billion dollar rf grift with these duchys! Surprise, it doesn’t go away. We know what you’re hiding, because it’s been on the stories for weeks except you’re doing opposite day. No, duchies aren’t privately owned as you’ve said about 10 times. Willy is stealing money from the people. That’s what all this palaver is about.
Well, since I expect that the Wales will be somewhere on a beach or a yacht the entire summer, they won’t have to worry about being somehow forced to do an official event with Harry. There, problem solved!
It’s embarrassing that they seem to be demanding/whining that Harry can’t come anywhere near Sandringham just in case they are at Anmer. It’s not like they might somehow bump into him at Norfolk’s only grocery store. No, this is a pathetic attempt to influence the king.
The entire narrative around the 1 year to go Invictus event reeks of desperation on the part of the gutter rats. Their hopes and dreams for seeing Meghan and the couples children is beyond sad.
Watch Harry turn up at Althorp again.
The Rota rage baiters will lose their tiny angry minds…
Have we had any stories about Kate & William being concerned about Andrew living on the Sandringham Estate? No? Then what’s this nonsense all about, geez Louise.
The Sussexes have better things to do than visit any of them!!!
The UK and papa belong exclusively to the eldest son, the heir and FK don’t cha know so Harry isn’t allowed to spend any time with his elderly dad, so there!!
Why they always play this stupid narrative. To show that they are in hold the power??
I mean if I were their PR team, I wont recommended this. Its only make them look childish.
William is the next king, but he is so insecure with himself. Pathetic
Well, at least they gave up on the “Kate the Peacemaker” story line.
At this point, H&M are the most interesting thing about the Wales. The peacemaker stories and the incandescent with rage bullsh*t regarding the Sussexes are the only reason why William and Kate are written about. Even a book about their “love story” is heavily peppered with stories about H&M. The Wales should be grateful Harry is coming in July so they can stage busy work and finally stay at the top of the page on the DM.
Could that loophole for “outside of potentially attending an official public engagement” be just in case there’s an Invictus event that William would look absolutely terrible for not attending? “Please don’t make me, please don’t make me…oh ffs, I really gotta go, or everyone will hate me.”
Oh, and also, William has been doom-briefing about Charles’ death since the cancer announcement. And Charles’ funeral plans include Harry and Meghan. And we know Willy is hoping the funeral will be soon.
@Kaiser can we PLEASE discuss the cold open for the episode of SNL UK last Saturday? Absolutely a banger about the BRF! 😂
It was hilarious.
I didn’t know SNL UK was a thing so thank you very much for sharing this news because that cold open was hilarious!
I had to go and check it out, that was so funny. The cracks about PA “morality”, PW looks and then the topper, Fergie appearing. Spot on SNL UK.
Willard and Kitkat need to learn how to adult. No one asked you, so there was no need for you to bring it up. I seriously doubt Harry and Meghan were planning to drop by for tea or anything else. Willard is so immature, his people need to speak to him about at least pretending to be an adult.
I would LOVE to know what makes them think that Prince Harry and Meghan even want a visit from them?????? They seem to be grasping at straws to let everyone think it is THEM making this decision instead of Prince Harry and Meghan. They both are so pathetic and desperate!!!!!
Everyone wants a visit from the royals, no matter how inconvenient and useless. The media believes this.
An official public engagement like… the death of the King, perhaps? I can’t think of any other official engagements that Peg would 1) show up to, and 2) be forced to allow Prince Harry to attend.
Something about Invictus that Charles goes to? And Willy knows he’d look absolutely terrible for skipping a tribute to wounded warriors?
Maybe if they hold the event at a pub and promise William beer, he’ll come.
Otherwise, there’s no way that loser is going to turn up to an event with his superior brother. I imagine the photos of Harry in a suit, looking regal as he was surrounded by the royals in their military cosplay at QEII’s funeral, are burned into William’s retinas.
William knows Harry is better at everything — interacting with people, working for good causes and especially marriage — than he is. And Kate knows Meghan is her superior, too, in every way that matters. Of course they don’t want to be in the same room as the Sussexes.
I had a sibling like this. A stepsibling actually. An older kind of bro dude / smarmy dude, who fancied himself a gatekeeper to the family, but who couldn’t decide whether he was going to keep everyone in line by jollying us all along, or just give up and start sniping right and left. Like a good cop / bad cop rolled into one. It’s kind of funny, tbh. He probably had good intentions, he was just trying waaaaaaay too hard. My mother allowed him to believe they were soulmates, but she secretly seethed and talked smack about him whenever his back was turned. Toxic pattern. I can virtually guarantee this is the pattern of Charles and William. A hopeless parent and an overcompensating older child. And she overcompensated in turn by gushing when he was around. It was all very performative. On all sides. And this is the thing about performance: if you’re not into it, you just cut to apathy. The air goes out of the room. So they try harder. So you go limp. Etc. it’s a vicious cycle. Cut to twenty years after we all met for the first time, two decades of mild to mind boggling stepfamily dysfunction, and she came to visit me in London. I was staying with my now-husband, she was staying in my flat. No problem. No time limit. No issues. I asked when she was planning to see my stepbrother. He was working here too. She hemmed and hawed and dodged and bobbed and weaved and played the sort of evasive, deflecting, keeping my cards covered kind of game, until the penny dropped, and I just stood there and said, just flat, “He doesn’t know you’re here, does he?” And I was literally smiling, because it was like — duh. Forest for the trees. And she had a *meltdown* that involved her finally shouting, “I can’t *stand* [that guy]. I can’t *stand* him!” ….I told her to leave and that was the last time I saw her. That was 2008. Mark my words, this rift will end with Harry having happily escaped and all the bad blood pouring out between Charles and William. I know what it’s like to play the scapegoat but in the long run you know you made the call to leave with no options that were viable.
Reverse psychology anyone?
The Sussexes have NEVER indicated that they were interested in seeing will and khate. Prince Harry made it clear in his interview with Anderson Cooper that the relationship with scooter NEEDS SPACE!
So much for Kate cancer teaching her to be a better person with compassion. As for Willy, how can you be head of a church one day and you continue to be so rageful and hateful. I wish that new archbishop would council the bald demon that he needs to change his ways . Him and his wife. I think calling William William 666 is starting to be truly fitting
william666, too funny!
That’s why I don’t believe that KKKate ever had cancer. Life threatening illness often brings clarity and a desire to embrace second chances. But she’s as petty and evil as before.
I kinda don’t believe Charles either. Not only has he never improved his relationship with Harry or apologized to Meghan, he appears to be willing to go to his grave with everything unresolved.
Nope, I suspect the “cancers” were announced immediately after the two Royal Racists were revealed.
Didn’t someone point out that BP’s new hire is the rota member who outed Kate had “pre-cancerous cells” and NOT cancer?
At this point, no one of importance cares……..
Don’t royals go to Balmoral for the summer? Seems like a weird briefing from staff who do not quite know what royals do.
There hasn’t been anything that I have seen or heard that confirms that there is any proof that this story is true or that the media has a friend of Harry’s as a legitimate source about this story. Just because the media says that they have a friend of Harry’s as a source, doesn’t mean that they actually have a friend of Harry’s as a source. They lie and create fake sources all of the time, so what would we believe this lie now? As I said yesterday, this story doesn’t add up to what we actually know about the Sussexes. They don’t need unnamed sources speaking for them when they have a spokesperson and they value protecting their children. As I said yesterday, I have a hard time believing that they would expose their children to the public scrutiny by announcing beforehand where they would be with their children to the paparazzi, royals, palace sources and they definitely wouldn’t do it knowing that Harry at least will be 2.5 hours away in Birmingham. We know that they wouldn’t expose their children to their first public appearance on UK soil without real valid protection and the vipers in the UK media and the royals and and their palace insiders, so why are we even entertaining any of this or acting as if the Sussexes would allow this to be announced months in advance?
“What kind of official public engagement would William and Kate NOT run away from if Harry and Meghan were there?”
Is Wimbledon in July? Kate wouldn’t miss Wimbledon for anything, not even Meghan. Would William try to ban Meghan from Wimbledon? 🧐
