Interesting.
And the children starting school here.

Glenfinnan Thu 20-Aug-26 13:42:14

Wonder what Kate and William think of this!

Wherever they live I hope they can find happiness and peace.

There are two innocent children starting school in a new to them country, wishing them well.

Nice post.

Who's coming back? Are they famous or important?

Iam64 Thu 20-Aug-26 13:43:56

Jason Arday…….. just saying

mernice Thu 20-Aug-26 13:56:44

I wish the best for them.

Is this some kind of sick joke? After trashing the family, making false accusations of racism, destroying the peace and contentment of QEII and her dutiful husband in their final years, trying to undermine William, Catherine and Camilla when all they have displayed is devotion to the monarchy! Not to mention the dubious authenticity of two children
It beggars belief.
If this return is sanctioned by the King, he should be ashamed and my admiration for him all through his life is over.

Nasty. As are those behind the well-organised 'anti-Sussexes' social media accounts who continuously push this conspiracy.

I think he might get over it in time.

Could you be any more vitriolic...

I can't wait to see her curtsy to Catherine

Breaking News says Harry will likely favour the Cotswolds to be near the Spencer estate and family. Lucky old Cotswolds, if true.

Althorp house is in Northamptonshire, nowhere near the Cotswolds.
I suspect that either a) the King has offered to help out with their massive legal bill, b) or they have run out of money or c) and this one saddens me, that the King is poorlier than we know and they fear what might happen when Will succeeds .
Whichever, the cynical supposition is that this is somehow designed to ‘boost’ their brand as they have little else to base it on.

He’s made some bad decisions but I wish them well and the media leave them alone. All this crazy speculation around them is so tiresome.

NLnanna Thu 20-Aug-26 14:07:53

When I heard this, my first thought was that the king's illness is, perhaps, more serious than we've been told. I also can't get over the vitriol this couple are exposed to from all sides.

Earl Spencer has a "telling the truth" book about Princess Diana coming out soon.
The cynic in me thinks its all great timing.

teaforone Thu 20-Aug-26 14:13:56

Unfortunately every time I hear the name princess Lilibet it reminds me of our late Queen and am sad that the Queens pet name was used for Harrys daughter and closer family members chose not to use it.
The name brings back memories of all the conflict in the last sad year of the Queens life and perhaps Elizabeth would have been a better choice

Just so NotSpaghetti. Children change countries and schools all the time. No problem there.
It is rather strange and sudden, and what will they do for work? And it will matter if they disrupt things for King Charles, otherwise agreed no one will care two hoots.

It was bound to happen him coming back home. So Harry said it was unsafe to live in the UK, what's changed? Both hypocrite's it going to end in tears.

I feel sorry for the poor King, he has Andrew and now Harry to support.

What do you mean by ‘support’ mentally or monetary Harry and his wife, it is said, are wealthy to the tune of £40/60 million, and King C about £680 million.
Are they paying their own security are expect the UK tax to help them?

Cath9 Thu 20-Aug-26 14:26:21

I wouldn’t be at all surprised it is mainly due to getting their kids educated in the UK especially now they know George will attend Eton. Although I am sure Harry must miss his wide family including the Spencer clan.
My son is the same; despite being married to a foreign lady. they want their offspring educated in the UK then they will leave the UK.
No matter what they decide, it has nothing to do with us and I wish them well

eazybee Thu 20-Aug-26 14:27:26

When the name was announced H&M said she would be known as Lili. It was also said that the late Queen was told this and was therefore upset when they persisted in using Lilibet instead. Just one instance of why this pair are generally disliked.
Children do change schools, countries not so much, and these children are very young.
It seems as though they are now attempting to attach themselves to the Spencer family, not one of the most balanced, as they have previously discarded the Windsor and Markle relations apart from Doria.

Age 10 I moved from South Wales to Mid Wales, hated it

Floradora9 Thu 20-Aug-26 14:36:28

I was watching ITV this morning ( I was at the dentist I hasten to add ) and an expert on the morning programme said that every royal child has a security person with them at all times in school . Do they sit at the back of the classroom ?
A newspaper this morning polled their readers and over 80 % though Harry and Megan should not be allowed to come back . Do not know how you could keep them out though.

I had three primary schools and two grammar schools due to my parents having to move house because of my father’s career progression. It was an ordeal every time.

CoolCoco Thu 20-Aug-26 14:48:04

A newspaper poll? Possible one of the 90% of newspapers that loves to bitch on about H and M and stir the pot - the readers love it and it sells papers. Most people I know don't give flying whatsis whether they live in the UK or not, most people under 30 wont have clue who they are anyway. Im in the good luck to them team as I hate this everlasting bitchiness.

Realky

The Royal Family are thieves and liars. King Charles had been taking money from the taxpayer while amassing billions in offshore investments. While we struggle to get appointments for hip operations, he earns money from ambulance parking. There is no role for the second born. Princess Margaret and Prince Andrew had roles until more children were born and they were displaced. The Queen Mother who was a spendthrift amassed millions in her life time, but did not educate Princess Margaret with Queen Elizabeth out of meanness. This royal family has become the richest in Europe by using their influence to thieve from the taxpayer. Megan is an angel compared to this band of thieves.

What rot u speak

Amazing how everyone knows details of their minds, bank accounts, children’s needs etc.
I wish them all the best, hope they find somewhere nice to live, aren’t hounded by the press or criticised every time they dare breathe. Good luck to them.

aren't hounded by the press. I bet they are salivating at the news of H&M returning to the UK.

mrsmeldrew Thu 20-Aug-26 15:16:47

I have no interest in them whatsoever- as long as they don't cost us anything. Certainly shouldn't be paying for their security. I expect Charles will give them a palatial house but never mind his tenants in the Dutchy of Cornwall are living in damp, mouldy houses.

Aveline Thu 20-Aug-26 15:17:23

H&M' S own press team are expert marketers of the Sussex brand. Bad news for William Catherine 🙁
