So Harry and family are coming back!

I cant quite make sense of the BBC reporting ( this may be my fault!) Does Harry have to pay the Mail 9 million or is that settlement between all the claimants.
It was a joint case I think, with a number of claimants, so I think the £9m is a joint charge, not individual.

I read it that they have to pay £34.5 mill between them

The final amount they owe ANL is not decided yet but up to £34 million. The parties must attempt to negotiate a figure between them. If they can't then there will be a costs trial which will increase the bill....

Then they must also pay the costs of their own lawyers estimated at around £20 million

‘Sky News now understands Meghan has held preliminary conversations to join The Gentleman, a Netlix series directed by Guy Ritchie.
Talks about having a role in the third season of the series are in early stages but are ongoing.
The series itself, which first aired in 2024, has not yet been officially renewed for a third instalment.’
Mystery solved.

A series about a Duke who turns to producing and dealing drugs to maintain his lifestyle .... interesting

Meghan is returning to acting over here,in a Guy Ritchie film. I expect she has missed it.

She's "in talks" about a role - not decided yet

I have feelings of, How are the mighty fallen.

My immediate thought was that Earl Spencer (who happens to have a book about Diana about to be published) has more than a little hand in Harry and Meghan's surprise plans. They could certainly super-charge all the book promotion stuff!

It isn't a Guy Ritchie film is it? There is a series with the same name.

How weird, they want to be private, they want to be of service, they want to make pasta in a skillet.

It's comedy gold.

Having just ( more or less) got used to the UK being a H & M free zone, and very nice that was, I groaned when reading they will be here in a matter of weeks.

Sorry Sadgrandma I hadn't realised the first paragraph of that post was Galaxy's.

It's the amount of the initial payment between all 7 Sadgrandma.

Isn’t that what I said?

Time will tell.

We really enjoyed Series 1 of The Gentleman and looking forward to Series 2 which airs beginning of September.

I'm not a fan of the Sussexes, but if she does land a part, then I would consider that a legitimate way of earning a living. More so than some of the ideas they've come up with to date.

It would certainly have an impact of the ratings, for sure. We have a precedent in that Lady Frederick Windsor, aka Sophie Winkleman was an established actress before marrying into the Royal Family.

The Portugal suggestion is an interesting one.
There are many schools over there teaching the English National Curriculum, at least 6 in Lisbon that I know of and no doubt others elsewhere. So it can't be just for good schooling because they could get that in Portugal with sunshine thrown in!

They may have their eye on a specific Private school?

Allegedly Harry’s visa is about to be revoked because he lied on his application 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone really believe that during their recent brief UK stopover . H and M had time to visit schools, choose one, then househunt in that area and find a suitable property. And the house deal is all sewn up by the end of this month in time for the start of term?

This latest fairy tale is obviously timed to coincide with the Daily Mail Settlement .

By next week they will be revoking the Grand Return to My Country plan on the grounds Harry is broke. The cruel media have sucked the Princely coffers dry and now ( sob)
H and M can't afford the school, the house, the security in England so they are Not Coming.

Perhaps they'll go to Portugal instead, where Harry will write a book about how to be a penniless refugee in a foreign land in tragic circumstances. Forward by Auntie Sarah.

Or worrying that Trump might decide to report him due to lies on his visa? ie stupid boy even boasted about his drug taking in his dreadful book. Trump said he'd leave it for now but...

There is no evidence that they wish to "sneak back into the firm."

Maybe they are just looking at the best options for their children.

I like the idea that someone is choosing UK education as the best option for their children instead of comparing it unfavourably with anywhere else.

There is no evidence that they wish to "sneak back into the firm."

Maybe they are just looking at the best options for their children.

I also think they're playing the long game Daddima but IMO how ever long for, and regardless of how well they play it, there will be no sneaking back into The Firm.

I think the best they can hope for is to eventually be welcomed back into the family but that isn't going to happen over night and will be totally dependant on how they behave.

They could also change their minds.
Say one thing now about not doing a book or whatever. Then change their minds.
Though so could anyone I suppose.
