A few weeks ago, I noted that I do not believe that Rob Shuter has any sources within Camp Sussex, but I believe he’s getting some missives from allies of Prince William. Like, Shuter’s sourcing seems very similar to Tom Sykes’ sourcing. Which means that we can judge William’s reaction to any given Sussex story by what his allies are screaming at Sykes and Shuter. Speaking of, Shuter has a big exclusive about the Prince and Princess of Wales’ reaction to the big news of the week/decade, that the Sussex family plans to return to the UK to live in a matter of days. By the sound of it, William is… um, not taking it well.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are coming back to Britain — but the way they have handled the announcement may be even more explosive than the move itself. King Charles only learned of the Sussexes’ plans days ago, leaving Prince William and Kate Middleton blindsided by a decision that could dramatically change the royal family’s delicate new reality.
Then Harry and Meghan took the story to PEOPLE — their favored American outlet — rather than allowing the palace to announce their return in Britain.
“That tells you everything,” a source tells Naughty But Nice. “If this were really about rebuilding trust with the royal family, the palace would have been given the respect of making the announcement. Instead, Harry and Meghan made the announcement themselves in America.”
Another source is even more blunt: “They are still loose cannons. Nobody knows what they are going to do next, and nobody at the palace wants to find out through the American media.”
And then there is the money.
Harry and Meghan left Britain promising to build an independent life in America. But their Hollywood business empire has not become the financial powerhouse many expected.
“The American dream did not turn out the way they planned,” says a source. “The deals came, the headlines came, but the enormous financial independence they talked about never really materialized.”
Another source adds: “This is about money. Harry knows the family fortune is in Britain. He also knows his father is the person who can make life much easier for him.”
The Sussexes say the move is about their children, family and community. But one source sees a different calculation: “They are coming back because they need Britain — and they need Charles.”
I’m not even going to defend Harry and Meghan on this one: “They are coming back because they need Britain — and they need Charles.” I don’t think that’s true, but the Sussexes have left themselves open to that criticism and many others with this shocking announcement. I truly believed that the Sussexes had found the freedom and privacy they wanted in Montecito. So, it is what it is on that count. As for William’s tantrums about loose cannons and who announces what… it’s hysterical and interesting at the same time. Does William really think that the palace should have made the Sussexes’ announcement? Does William think that he’s now in charge of the narratives around Harry and Meghan?

Just when lazy willie scoot and Lazy khate got used to doing nothing and the public expected nothing from them! The Sussexes are so annoying!!! LOL
I say cotswolds or Althorp for the Sussexes!
The light coming off william’s incandescence can be seen from the moon.
The Aristo group chat is blowing the hell up right now.
With the Van Cutsem boys – and their b*tchy wives – leading the way!😏
Harry/Meghan have made so many missteps that I simply cant anymore: not clearing up rumors in a timely fashion, only clapping back WAY after the fact, which allowed the rumors be perceived as fact, staff turnovers, etc. Harry, who said the Firm, et al were trying to unalive his wife, has now moved that same wife AND their kids back to that dangerous, h8tful place. has he learned nothing from the Arday suicide? or Diana’s end? Its al so Incredibly foolish and because I believe Meghan is a supportive but reluctant wife in all this, for the first time, I see Harry as a dim bulb he’s rumored to be. I am done with them. I will no longer publicly support or post about them on social media as I used to do. Im done.
I understand a lot of people feel frustrated and frankly P***d on why the Sussexes would do this now and many are thinking Harry needs a wake up call. But there must be a heck of a good reason.
Will that “reason” suffice if Meghan and the kids are attacked and possibly unalived?
Everything that Harry himself has said about how dangerous the UK is and now he is moving his family there?? And the UK security situation is the same. Even if they put out an official statement it will get lost in the noise because the UK media is having a field day with this. It just makes it look like the UK tabloids were right and Harry is miserable in California and wants to move back.
Good luck to them, I guess. I can see why some are moving on from them, this is too triggering for them to go through it again.
I’m assuming the security situation was resolved. Probably has to do with the new non-Tory government and the departure of Charles’ aide.
Sure. If you simply can’t, then just don’t? Thanks for the announcement? The least sentence was clear so bye I guess? Thank you for your last post.
Shows that you are not too bright.
They come back as PRIVATE citizens. Everything was obviously arranged months ago. You can’t pull a house in a safe area out of thin air. Either they bought or rented one, which is safe enough from paparazzi. They already had tried the Cotswold, which they had to leave thanks to drones and long lense cameras. Finding something adequate took time. This is no spur of the moment decision. Same with a private school for the children.
They won’t live on palace grounds or another Crown Estate. They won’t have anything to do with courtiers, aides, palace staff. The British media harassed and hounded them over the past 8 years, whether they are in California or England won’t make a difference, as long as there is security. They will have made sure that security is in place, and certainly Charles wasn’t informed last Sunday.
Why would the Palace make the announcement? They don’t come back as working royals, not even half in/half out. Harry is a British citizen, he can live with his family wherever he wants. Nothing to do with the Palace, it is none of their business. Same as visits with Charles, this is a family affair, Charles only has to tell his secretary to block his calendar for a few hours, just as any normal family would announce their visit in advance and not appear on the doorstep without warning.
Harry and Meghan are financially independent. Meghan can work with As Ever and Archewell Productions remotely, just in the evening via FaceTime instead of the morning while the children are at school as she does now. Hopefully she will start to sell to Europe! Harry will work with his charities as before, only instead of flying from Cali to England it will be England to the USA. Same for his speaking jobs, or BetterUp. He doesn’t have an office job where he has to be in attendance every day.
They certainly have talked about every aspect of the move through from all angles and made a joint decision. They will split their time between Montecito and England, as it was planned when they left. England won’t be their main domicile. Harry did not make any decision without Meghan’s full support.
It would be nice if people wouldn’t treat H&M as their personal property. Neither fans or haters can dictate how and where they live, nor have they any right to make decisions for them. If they make mistakes, it is their business. Nobody is perfect, they are allowed to make mistakes and to revise decisions which turn out to be unwise. So far they have done quite well.
You said everything I was just about to type myself.
I’ve said this a few times recently, but people really need to stop babying Meghan. It’s weird and parasocial and incredibly insulting to an intelligent, accomplished woman who has shown that she’s quite capable of standing up for herself and protecting her children. We’re not talking about some meek little codependent tradwife here, FFS.
Its not smart to move your family back to a place where the power structure, from top to bottom, wants to erase or at the very least, control you. The same “ones” who denigrated your mother. The same “ones” who are aligned with conservatives, one of whom called archie an a4pe. The ppl arent with you. Most ppl on social media who supported Harry/Meghan are not taking this well. So you can miss me with your not-too-clever ad hominem attacks.
Thank you, you’ve posted exactly what I was thinking.
I am not thrilled about this situation but Meghan is a grown adult that can make her own decisions. It’s clear that they made this decision together as a family.
So it’s bad for the power structure in the UK to control the Sussexes, and they should live their lives to placate their supporters on social media instead? Is that not still someone else controlling them?
Thanks Lurker. You said it perfectly. I love Kaiser and will continue to read daily..but I’m shocked at people being offended and personalizing this. The big “why?”. Because this is THE time. Kids right age, busy year ahead in UK for Harry AND Charles is alive!! Right now, today. Maybe not next week, 6 months from now or 2 years from now. Just like all of us, really. If not now, when??? Home in Portugal all set up all domino’s in place. Harry is a Dad and they could not live with not ever having tried .
But Sophieesther, you said you were done with them. That you would no longer post or support about them. I took that as you meaning you were done talking about them and yet you’re still here replying to comments. So you’re not done done then? Maybe the way you stated your first comment might have been unclear or a misstep in your intention.
Yes, agree with your thinking 100 percent. His dad is sick enough that his time is limited, and like it or not, Harry cares about that relationship. His choice. Invictus is happening and knives are out so being on the ground makes a measurable difference to his signature creation. Harry wants the kids to know his dad, and to get a foothold in his home country. H&M are keeping Montecito and I imagine that’s actually home base. Portugal is set up as a vacation spot and now they’re planting the family flag in the UK. As private citizens and on their own terms, just like @Lurker points out.
I think the Palace courtiers, press people and the Royal Rota are all scrambling to get their act together and distill the few narratives that will then be pushed out everywhere, if they can find William behind a rose bush or bar to get his approval…
“It wasn’t the fact that H&M are moving back, it’s HOW it was handled!” As if William had had advance warning he would have been all “Okay, then. NP. You do you guys.”
“H&M should have let the Palace announce it!” But…the BRF keep insisting (and the Sussex spokesperson confirmed) that they will not return to working royal life, so why would the Palace have to announce anything?
It’s going to a mess before things get sorted on Friday and most importantly the Sunday tabloids. I mean, it takes time to get the usual Rota suspects to get the brief and then write their usual crap (I see Richard Eden got to placehold by crowing I WAS RIGHT ABOUT A PLOT TO BRING HARRY AND MEGHAN BACK, which of course he had no idea but the DM threw him a bone by letting him go out today….)
It just goes to show that unless you know these people personally you just have no idea what kinds of decisions they will make or how they feel privately about anything. Would I have made the same choice to move back to a country whose media is completely out of control? No. But I am not privy to all the facts which led to H&M’s decision to do so. As for William who knows how he feels privately? Maybe after all this time he wants to build bridges but he has dug a public hole so deep about his refusal to have a relationship with his brother that there may be no coming back from that. I am reminded of an interview Diana gave when William was a toddler in which she mentioned his bad temper so this is a characteristic that is ingrained into his personality. I don’t think this is going to work out and I am glad H&M have their California and Portugal homes to retreat to when things go south.
I dont think the sources should get any credit, they have been crying about the Sussexes moving back for years now,it just so happened that this time whatever they threw at the wall stuck. Having said that I think it will be come clearer sooner rather than later why this seemingly sudden move back.
I’ve had some time to think about this. I still don’t think it’s a good idea but I can understand it. As for William, who cares about him? He should just put his head down and concentrate on his work. Prove that Harry and Meghan are really irrelevant. It’s interesting that Harry and Meghan didn’t allow the Palace to make the announcement and it telegraphs how they’re going to work in the UK. I don’t believe they will give control of their lives to the Palace and they’re not going to be working royals. I don’t believe this is going to be a permanent move but it will be interesting to see how visible Meghan is going to be in the UK and on IG.
I am guessing that Harry wants the children to experience what it is like to live and be educated in the UK to better understand in a small way what his own childhood was like. They are exposing them to one year at the least of this culture.
I had a colleague that brought his American wife and three kids from the US for a couple of years while he held a position in London. Wife and kids did fine, then eventually they all moved back to the US. They obviously weren’t royal or even aristo and don’t face the challenges H&M face… but spending a few years in another country with your kids is not uncommon at all
He will do whatever he can to make their lives miserable when they move. I guess theoretically that isn’t much, but this Firm has long tentacles.
I don’t think they need Charles either but it’s not like we can even *definitely* attest to that given this choice.
Blah blah blah – sucks to be you 2!
Charles is shoring up a backup plan for his successor and continuation of the Monarchy – the Wails are not up to it and everyone knows it, public support is at an all time low and sinking like the Titanic.
Either the King is sicker than is let on or his Uncle is sick – the Earl being ill explain his book about Diana and the title ‘Swan Song’. I think he’s been wanting to write that book for years and what a note to go out on. Not only is he likely going to air the RF’s dirty laundry but I suspect that he might throw William under the bus with his behaviour over the years esp towards his mother.
The press turn around has begun – there is a piece in the Fail about welcoming them home and that we must face a bitter reality about William and Kate. Oooh what will the press drop about these 2 now. They can brief about the American dream turning sour and that they need money all the like but that is not true – they don’t need to RF or the taxpayer to live.
Also I think the security issue has been resolved – I don’t want to give Burnham the credit as apparently this has been in the works for a while so I imagine Starmer was v involved in this before he left. Its possible Burnham just signed off what was already agreed.
I find fascinating that Charles kept the news even if it was for a few days only. I can hear the screams from William 🤭 He and Kate are so not prepared for this.
Yeah, all the people I know who are having money troubles keep their multimillion dollar mansions in two separate countries when they decide to move to a third. 🙄🙄
God, the spiraling from William is going to be GLORIOUS, isn’t it?
Few years I correctly predicted lilibet christening and I also said few years ago that ph and MM will move to uk buy many here didn’t believe . Anyways I have good track record for my tarot reading. .
Yesterday I did reading for this situation . This is what I got
They are moving but not for chuck. Chuck is healthy and having good 10 years atleast. This is about kate and her mental health. Kate mental health is slowly going away and palace was doing everything to hide it. They want senior royals which is late and will but without kate , there is no royal family left much in the future. After louis goes to boarding William and Kate quietly separated and their divorce won’t be speculated and sealed off like queens will.
I also how PH and MM feels about royals and uk, they understand the situation especially meghan that’s why they are moving back. Plus I asked how William feels( supiringly William feels very good about them moving ,but too proud to show it or tell them ) kate is the one who is very angry and frustrated towards this situation and so does Middleton. William and his handlers may play off very suprised but this what the talks about for long time. Also kate will slowly phase out of royals slowly and quietly. Even some rr where suprised by this but most of kp , bp knows about this. Mostly William knows not about kate.
Apparently Harry and Meghan are going to remain non-working royals while in the UK. Plus I don’t think their decision has anything to do with Kate. This is really about Charles.
I agree @Amy Bee. I think Charles has been given months to live
Nope according to my tarot cards , this is about kate. Plus if it’s about chuck that didn’t make any sense because he is not normal grandpa who loves spending time with their grandchildren. Chuck loves to work all the time and even when they live next door it harder to see him or male appointment. This is also kate and her mental health declining. I stick with my reading. Like I said few years ago I said sussex will move back to uk ,many here pushed back so hard and I was proven right. Even if I was wrong about chuck I’m open to be wrong and willingly to learn and grow.
Kate is not facing the reality like rest and her decline makes palace panicked and that’s why Wales kids did boarding for fees weeks or months. Palace lied about or hide the boarding and none of the royal rota knows about it either. That’s why I said kate situation is worst and everyone is playing cats and mouse. Meghan is very sympathetic towards kate and her situation, that’s the only reason she is moving back.
Are they Royals or not? The media always takes weird takes. Why would Charles make the announcement when Harry and Meghan are private citizens?
They’re members of the royal family. Not working royals. So whether Charles will make announcements about non working members who’s to say. It’s a rather arbitrary rule either way.
Again with the finances? What a strange thing for him to write when the other one hundred articles in British news outlets are correctly reporting that the Sussexes are keeping their Montecito home and their vacation home in Portugal, which is something people struggling financially wouldn’t be able to do.
This new home in the UK is merely a base. They’ll probably split their time between the UK and Montecito.
and they’re all reporting that the Sussexes will live in a private non-royal residence in the UK, I imagine somewhere expensive behind very large gates. Not exactly behaving like Fergie…
I would love go to through life blindsided by everything that happens simply because I didn’t control it. What a fascinating expectation.
Also, the home allows Harry more choice regarding his very lengthy commute to the UK from California.
Scooter will imo blame keen even though he himself is lazy. He might want to remarry if he divorced keen.
Of course King Charles knew about this earlier, this is just giving him cover to not have told Willliam and Kate until it was a done deal. It’s very clear that the security situation has been resolved with Charles, meaning that he obviously knew exactly why for some time. It also couldn’t have been announced by the Palace (not that it should have been) for the same reason- no plausible deniability that you knew and didn’t tell Will if you write the announcement!
I have apparently a really different view of this than most. Harry and Meghan are not coming back to the Palace or to be working members of the Royal family. THAT is the claim that has always been made by the Rota as to what constitutes “failure”. And that is not what is happening. They are private citizens choosing to live in a country that they both have said they enjoy a great deal. Harry and Meghan hate the UK MEDIA, not the British people. And, as I’ve said on other threads, all the British people I work with love Harry and don’t dislike Meghan. Every time Harry has returned, he’s been met by huge adoring crowds. The courtiers, the Royal Rota, the tabloid press, they are the ones who are so awful and they are who Harry and Meghan identified as the problem for them in being working royals. It was never about the UK as a country or the British people. Never.
Just want to say I agree 💯 with this. Given some of the bonkers comments on this site this morning it nice to see everyone hasn’t completely lost it
I think people are too set in a grievance mindset, I hope that we can get back to supporting H&M for who they are, not because we think they are being mistreated or because we dislike the RF or UK Media. The RF and UK tabloids don’t control the UK. Why should Harry and Meghan not be allowed to live in a country if they want to? The UK is a lovely country (I am not British, btw) and Harry and Meghan are FREE of the courtiers and Royal Rota. That is what they wanted. To live on their terms. And they are doing it. Good for them!
@ladye: Agreed.
Of course, this would happen on the days when I’m traveling and can’t take time to comment – argh!
But, I agree with you – there’s no way Charles wasn’t part of this decision and didn’t help facilitate it in some way. This takes long-range planning, even for a regular household. You don’t say “Oh, I think I’ll move to another country in two weeks and we’ll find a school for the kids somewhere.” So, this has been planned, probably starting back when H&M’s people met with Charles’ people over a year ago (more? I can’t remember the timeline).
I also agree that they’ll be private citizens. The succession is the succession, William is the heir and nothing will change that. If there’s a problem with William, a problem with Kate, that’s up to the system to figure it out. At the same time, there’s no way the son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren of the king won’t have some kind of royal status in the UK – that’s just a fact of life. How and to what extent that will be integrated into everybody’s world, I don’t know – there are so many moving pieces. But this constant drumbeat by the press, the palaces, etc., was a sticking point in H&M being able to move on with their lives. Something had to be cleared out of the way.
Lol about the traveling! Same here. I was en route from Singapore to NYC when the news broke, and I was like, “BUT I NEED TO DISCUSS THIS NOWWWW!”
@ euridyce I think the something that had to be cleared out of the way was Alderton…
I don’t think charles Spencer is ill. He’s younger than the king and he just got married again.
If H&M want to live abroad while Harry works on his European charities & show his older children his homeland I’m for it…Several years of watching how the rotten rota works ALREADY showcases that WHEREVA H&M lives they’re going to be front page & I’m an ADVOCATE of NOT letting non-mofo entities move MY decisions..this way his children get to see where their Father was born & raised & Meghan isn’t PART of the Royal Family anymore so THEY can’t feed her to the wolves anymore…THATS what almost destroyed her…they’re FREE & THIS move illustrates that…Security will ALWAYS be an issue no matter WHERE they are…I look forward to them navigating this & I’m sure it will work out good based on how they’ve run their plate in the past
She is part of the royal family she is married to a royal.
I’m seeing various talking points about the why are they keeping the Montecito property.
Why wouldn’t they? There’s nothing that suggests that this UK move, if it is in fact happening, is a permanent one.
If William is still going to inherit the throne after Charles, they’ll still need Montecito because Incandescent Bill will likely want to exile the Sussexes permanently, if his reported rages are anything to go by.
More worried about the unhinged UK media and what the courtiers and Camilla are feeding them. Already we’ve got tabs claiming they’ve discovered the Sussexes’ new address. This doesn’t seem like security has improved, does it? Shouldn’t there be press embargoes on this information?
I was ready to dismiss the news as renewed Richard Eden nonsense, but Team Sussex spokespersons aren’t coming out to correct the record, so there must be something to it?
The biggest mystery is why the move, why now, and why would they do this with no security coordination. Was getting rid of Alderton the key to making this all happen? I have so many questions.
I really hope they don’t plan to keeping living in the uk while william is king – that feels so dangerous and insane? which would mean this is short term, but … who knows what they are doing at this point
It would be really great if there were openness in the comments sections here to have discussions about what really may be going on, instead of shutting down anyone who suggests that anything other than the rosiest most sunshiny version of Meg and Harry win at everything. They’ve made some missteps, but no one wants to hear it.
Something is going on here. Must confess I don’t know what it is. I think people here feel much more strongly about certain situations than Meghan and Harry do themselves.
Would be hilarious if they are doing this just to fvck with William and Charles is in on it.
It’s fine to say it’s a misstep or see it that way. But some of the commenters announcing they’re done forever with them are kind of funny, I’m sorry. And they’re usually from a commenter I’ve never seen before. I’m more just like well this is happening. So here we go. And truthfully I have no idea what’s really going on bts. But it makes me curious! And now I’m just like okay let’s watch this play out. Bc the Wales cannot be happy and they are messy when they feel threatened so let’s see.
This is where I’m at. Like, this is not the decision I would have made if I were them, but it’s happening and I’m far enough away to enjoy the Wales fallout. LFG.
So I don’t believe Harry has been miserable in Cali. But I think he has been unhappy at the prospect of never being able to return with his kids or let his kids also be a apart of the uk. They were trying to make it an exile. William has briefed as much. And this is both Harry and Meghan saying no you will not exile us or deny our children their British heritage. How long will this move be for? Who knows? Meghan has such a good community of friends in Montecito that it’s hard to imagine. But the friends are rich and can visit. It’ll be interesting to watch it play out.
No one has yet touched on one important issue:
Will neighbour Oprah be looking after the chickens? Or will Doria be house sitting? 🐣🐤
I agree with this.
Perfectly said! They are clearly saying, No, you will not dictate our lives. Lily and Archie are 2 of the kings 5 grandchildren.
They should make plans to leave if in future it looks like scooter succeeding is imminent. Scooter is power hungry imo
Oh no, will William and Kate be forced to work again? And for an indefinite time?? The shock, the horror!
As for the Sussexes move.. Idk, maybe Harry just wanted the kids to experience British life too and be close to (some) family and friends. People can speculate but I’m m sure they thought it through, they’re not dumb.
George 5 openly spoke out about his eldest son and questioned his ability to be king. But there was nothing he could have done about it. He was right that his son would not succeed. Scooter would fight any attempt to stop him from becoming king. No matter what.
The only bright part about them moving back is seeing Willy and kitty loose their ever lazy copy keening minds in real time. . Poor Willy and kitty cane eve have their forever vacation in peace . It’s ruined I tell you ruined by Harry and Meghan news. 😂😂😂😂😂
However as much as i enjoy seeing wily and kitty sweat and upset , I don’t want Meghan and her babies back in the uk . I want them to stay in California and continue to live a peaceful childhood. Where the press can’t take or publish their pictures and Meghan is free to sun on her garden and pick fruit and post on Sundays . I am not taking this news well. Was happiest when the 4 of them were safely in California and with mama Doria near by .
I feel like there is something missing with this story and there’s more behind the scenes than we know.
I’d be surprised that this is the first time Charles had heard about it. I suspect the move is somehow related to Charles cancer (i.e. Harry wants to spend more him, give his kids time with their grandfather).
Also, People notes their home base is not being made public so I suspect there is also a private update to the security situation.
William’s rage over this is going is cause him to make a HUGE misstep, just wait.
Im amused at the idea of Cain and Unable completely flabbergasted and frozen in fear. How can they half-ass their royal duties with two hard-working royal-adjacents showign them up? How will they function when every step outside their home by Meghan or Harry will dominate global headlines while Kate and William’s appearances get crickets? The “blame the Sussexes” media game has been called out, and only the most fang-baring deranger actually believes the lies of the royal ratchets.
Plus there’s Andrew formerly known as Prince living it up on palace grounds, with royal security. Having the Sussexes in the UK means they can’t be blamed for every tiny indescretion the ratchets dream up when you actually have a potential felon living in safety and security. I think the royals will have to mind their manners around the Sussexes to an extent. Their shitty behavior will be called out and often. If they can’t find a way to coexist in the same country with the Sussexes as non-working royals, they will have a hard time justifying their own existences. After all, they have actual “royal duties” to perform. If “We hate the Sussexes” becomes their only message (or more accurately, if it continues to be their only message), then they will have a really hard time maintaining any sense of popularity or good will.
The only thing the Wales can do in response is get their asses to work. Will they? Do they have any advisors who are looking out for the institution, as opposed to appeasing their petty grievances? Or will they keep acting like tantruming toddlers who think they’re entitled to adoration while doing jack-all to earn it?
The only thing I find disturbing about this move is that it’s breathed new life into the ratchet community. They were on their last legs, and now they have been thrown a major lifeline. There will be actual news for them to write about (lie about) instead of rehashing years old stories.
