This is not a pile on/hate thread, more like I started it out of idle curiosity.
I find these two very entertaining.
They had it all, fame, money...etc. and threw it all away.
So, what do we think they should do next?

I don’t really know why they’re here, and I was very surprised when they came back, but I think they’ll soon return to the USA. I can’t see it working out for them here.

MarieElla Wed 07-Oct-26 18:52:32

She wasn't offeted the acting role, the Gentlemen production team made that clear!
She was a reasonable actor on Suits but hardly A list!

I don’t know. Why are they back over here anyway?
Still like Harry, I don’t truely think he’s happy with her.

She was offered an acting role. Whatever you think of her, she is a reasonably good actor, if you watched Suits.

He is still the face of the Invictus games, who presumably have to pay for his services now.

I guess it’s asking too much that they just shut up and go back to Monteshiteshow isn’t it?
--ever the optimist--

“Monteshiteshow”😁

I don't think Meghan or Harry are reclusive;they love publicity and attention, but only on their terms so they can control it. The best way of attracting attention is to arrive somewhere with two cars full of security officers. And what will they do when the attention wanes?

Oh, I'm sure they'll find their niche on "Traitors" or "Strictly Not Really Come Dancing" and what about Meg comandeering "Bake Off"?

I think the acting ship has sailed for Meghan, especially due to the response from the producers of the Gentleman following the rumours that she was to have a part in their next season.

I've just binge-watched (and enjoyed) The Gentlemen Series 1. Deadly violence was played out in an elegant, comedically tongue in cheek way.

By the end of series 2 , it had turned far darker. The final scene of violence by both the main characters (the "Gentlemen" ) is truly shocking.

The most privileged aristocratic brothers/ rival heirs have been reduced to monsters of depravity in a sewer of amoral cruelty and revenge.

Whoever proposed offering Meghan a role in the next chapter of such a story line was surely joking...... at her expense and Harry's.

They love their children and the children are in school in England - so that may indicate that they expect to stay here.

MarieElla Wed 07-Oct-26 16:49:40

That's true.

Boz I didn't know the children had been photographed. I understood that 2 men suspected of being paparazzi were seen outside the school?

This was a sneaky pic posted briefly on Utube and not there now. Phone picture taken by, probably, another parent.

They are probably back here for content for a documentary on Diana. They'll b filming at locations Diana frequented
I think its as simple as that. They have no intention of staying in UK. It's just to make more millions off the back of his mother.
He doesn't have anything else to sell other than his royal connections. Its sad to see how he's turned out and how nasty he can be.

Can I ask where you get this information from Joanof arc99 , or is it just your opinion.

Boz Wed 07-Oct-26 16:27:00

The problem with being reclusive and surrounded by security men (apparently two cars of protective officers accompanied Meghan to Daylesford) is that you will be followed and snapped. We all carry cameras these days.
Therefore the furious looks Harry shot at the person who snapped the kids going into school (the little girl is very mini-Meghan and the boy looks likes the Markles) is to be expected.
I did think the snap of M&H going for a pub lunch showed she has lost weight.

MarieElla Wed 07-Oct-26 15:59:45

True Smileless2012 but had she taken advice and knuckled down to the role, she could have won us over.
(Looking to the Princess of Wales for support instead of resenting her and trying to be superior would have served helped enormously)

Smileless2012 Wed 07-Oct-26 15:48:54

She lacks authenticity too and us Brits sussed her out very quickly hence all the negative press MarieElla.

MarieElla Wed 07-Oct-26 15:47:00

Weather not whether!

MarieElla Wed 07-Oct-26 15:46:22

NanaMaryNH interesting points.
I don't actually believe Maghan was suicidal. However, I do believe she was overwhelmed by all the negative press she was receiving. It will have been incredibly tough but she didn't have the staying power to whether the storm. She lacks authenticity too and us Brits sussed her out very quickly.
When was Harry suicidal?
I must have missed that one.

American here. In my lifetime, I've seen your Margaret, Diana, and Harry seriously harmed by the Firm's fear of the public/press (enabled by the dysfinctional family). Why do you feed that monster? Diana threw herself down stairs, Harry and Megan have both said they were suicidal.

Living in Trump's America must be enough to make anybody suicidal.

Sadgrandma Wed 07-Oct-26 14:58:27

My personal opinion is that Meghan is a user. She goes through life using people
and then dumping them when she has got what she wants and they are no longer useful to her. She’s now used all the people in the USA who have been useful so is now ready to move on again. Of course Harry has been incredibly useful but, if it wasn’t for her two children and the fact she’d lose her royal title, I think she d move on again. As for Harry, he needs a purposeful job. Something he hasn’t had since leaving the Army and he’s been like a lost soul being led by the nose. Surely there must be something he could do related to his interests like polo or flying that would give him a purposeful job, pay him a wage( charity work is all very well) that would make him feel like a man again.

MarieElla Wed 07-Oct-26 14:52:01

I agree eazybee...Meghan knew next to nothing about how the RF operated and imagined she'd be sitting around dressed like a fairytale princess being waited on hand and foot!
Harry didn't think. He's entitled with zero ability to self reflect.
The best soap opera ever!

JenniferEccles Wed 07-Oct-26 14:49:32

I think it’s been confirmed that they are going home for the half term holiday and Christmas.

eazybee Wed 07-Oct-26 14:32:08

I think we all overestimated Meghan, thinking her ambition was to be a member of the royal family and what an asset she would be. Wrong, She simply saw Harry as a very wealthy husband she could easily manipulate, and thought she would be living in a palace with endless privileges, no responsibilities and a member of the international jet set.

Harry thought he would escape all the onerous royal responsibilities but choose the ones he favoured and come and go as he pleased, being a Prince of the Royal Blood. Wrong.
Now they have realised their only claim to privilege is his position as fifth in line to the Throne, and the children as sixth and seventh...........Who knows?
Hence the scramble to get them an English education.

Meghan won't let them, or Harry, out of her sight because nice Uncle Charlie Spencer might just have more of an influence on him than she bargained for.

The soap opera continues.

WithNobsOnIt Wed 07-Oct-26 13:53:51

To leave the country and never come back. Continue their money grubbing antics elsewhere.

I can't see how they are entertaining in the least. I think a lot of people would be really glad to see the back of them.

You do realise that any time they are ‘filming’ they will be paying for it themselves, in the hope that Netflix ( or anyone else) will be interested in the finished product? That’s the arrangement they have now with Netflix, that they make programmes and Netflix get first refusal.

I think the plan is for the children to be enrolled in boarding school in a year or two, Meghan will spend more and more time in the US ‘on business’, and Harry will try to improve his image here by carrying out ‘humanitarian’ work, with the ultimate aim of being welcomed back into the royal fold, if only on the periphery. In the short term, I think they’ll go back to America at Christmas to be with Doria, to spare them the embarrassment of not being invited to Sandringham.
