What's next for Meghan and Harry?

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?

MarieElla Wed 07-Oct-26 13:34:40

I think you're right Merlotgran...they don't seem to have the ability to think or plan ahead, nor take advice and that's why they're in this mess.
I believe they will hear about their security this week.

In answer to the OP…I don’t have a clue what’s next because I don’t think they have either.

When will the review of their security arrangements be concluded?

I do wonder if the changing of schools was a deliberate ploy to strengthen their case for public funded security.
No final decision has been made yet apparently.

If the security is agreed it will be an extremely unpopular decision.

All day long! They are devious enough to try anything to paint a picture of their 'suffering'. There is enough evidence to show that.
If H&M have to cough up for their own security and I hope they do, then they can always sell their Montecito estate valued at around $30m.

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.

He could probably do an immense amount of good by aligning himself with military charities. I don't really know what she would do, maybe go back to acting. Sophie Winkleman carried on acting when she married into the RF and that doesn't appear to have ruffled any feathers.

Then there's always I'm a Celebrity, Strictly, Celebrity Traitors....she has appeared on Masterchef Australia.

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

I wonder if they are plain bored, especially as their children are now at school. What do they do all day?
Harry, in particular, could do with a job of some kind. Pre-Meghan he always came across as a sociable man so perhaps going off each day to work would do him good and maybe earn back some respect.

They threw away the supporters of the Royal family!
And, indeed, non Royal supporters due to their arrogance and sense of superiority.
The ordinary tax payers dies not want to pay for their security!

They have not thrown anything away. They have made reasoned choices about what they value and what is right for their family.

Maybe the things that you think they have thrown away are not the things that they want .....

They threw away family.
If family is not what they want and value, fair enough. The problem is they did it so publicly and in such a hurtful manner.

So far there has been no little drama and H&M seem to be settling down, I hope that continues and the children can get a stable education.
The celebrity lifestyle in the US seems to have worn out very quickly

There might be no little drama for them but this priest is getting it in the neck from Meghans fans.

Goodness, what nasty people those 'fans' of Meghan are.
When a priest just mildly suggests a much cheaper alternative Advent calendar, showing the true meaning of Christmas, he is trolled and called vile names by these so-called fans.

'Rather than simply criticising the product, French pointed his followers towards a £5.99 Christian Advent calendar from the Meaningful Chocolate Company. He highlighted that the cheaper calendar contains Fairtrade chocolate, supports The Leprosy Mission and includes a booklet explaining the meaning of Christmas.'

Who would pay £112 for a calendar which is just a symbol of the commercialisation of Christmas anyway?

Their fans are awful!!

Well perhaps this priest should have refrained from directly and publicly criticising M’s calendar in such a way.

Personally I wouldn’t pay that price for a chocolate advent calendar, but there are many other advent slanders on the market which are far more expensive than this one

I completely agree that Christmas has lost its “true” meaning to many and is so ludicrously over-commercialised. But no-one is forcing us to buy M’s advent calendar, nor anything else from her range of goods.

Perhaps priests should concentrate on putting their own houses in order, before criticising others.

I don’t condone M’s so called “fans0 being abusive online either.

None of it is in the spirit of Christmas, in my opinion, not her calendar, not the priest’s comments not her followers abuse.

I reckon it's way over Harry's sell by date, relationshipwise, but she needs him to be considered Royal and if she dumps him and it turns into a nasty divorce she'll lose her only claim to fame as I'm sure the RF will completely freeze her out, even more so than they did to Sarah Ferguson.
Harry has a slim chance of a relationship with his family IF he apologises sincerely.

Cossy Wed 07-Oct-26 09:38:38

Despite being told many times, I think M totally misread what her role in the RF would be.

She could have been a great asset and been friends with William and Catherine.

Personally, and I don’t know her at all, I do think she keeps her friends close and has a few very long standing friends, she clearly loves her mother and her children.

She has still not managed to “find her place”, and frankly appeared more suited to being an actress.

Who knows what will happen next.

They both need to keep their heads firmly down, behave well in public and live their lives with their children.

According to the “gossip rags”, their cousins, Beatrice and Eugenie, have “dumped” them in favour of grovelling around William, so that their own position and “grace and favour” properties are maintained.

In my very humble opinion, they are all as bad as each other.

I think they will put £100 in envelopes and spread kindness.

Seriously 😂
That was a joke, wasn’t it 🤷‍♀️

I liked Harry too but I think he was very protected by the RF. The 'cheeky chappy' persona was always on show until he left the RF and his true colours came out, encouraged by Meghan, indeed and also due to him being besotted by her.
They are a bad combination imo, and bring out the worse in each other.

I completely agree. She wanted fame and fortune and had been rebuffed by a couple of premier league footballers. Despite MM claiming she knew nothing about the Royal Family, Diana and Harry I think the blind date was completely engineered and she saw gullible Harry as her prey. In has been shown over and over again thar the minute Meghan no longer has a use for a person they are cruelly dumped.

Yes, I think you are spot on there.

I have always liked Harry and wish he had never met her but he has two beautiful children and hope he’s happy. Also hope that they get back into the royal circle with his dad and brother.

I am not sure what or why but I do think there must be a reason they came back to the UK. Only last year they considered it unsafe and a security risk. I have always liked Harry and now I feel sorry for him. He is being manipulated and controlled by a narcissistic.
