No. She has said the reason why is that she can't leave the baby alone.

She left Archie alone, didn't she?

I'm the PP. I agree with you, my read is that she's not welcome in the UK (or at least at BRF events) and has been told so. But the public reason is that she can't leave the baby alone, so she saves face and looks like a good parent.

She "left" Archie when he was 4 months, not brand new, but nice try.

I wasn't trying anything. I don't keep up with every tiny detail of what these idiots do.

I don’t think the BRF told her she’s persona non grata, otherwise Omid Scobie or Gayle King would have blabbed it out by now.

Yeah I don’t think the BRF would outright tell H&M that Meghan is not welcome. But I do think she wouldn’t want to go back. Wouldn’t you feel super awkward around your in laws after you publicly called them out like that? So uncomfortable!

Harry never learned the Keep Calm and Carry On that the Brits are so known for. He has become a tell-all whingey Californian. Yawn. His time in the spotlight will be the proverbial 15 minutes. He’ll miss UK culture and laughs.

What’s so terrible about Charles?

He was largely absent, did not support his children through the death of their mother, and I would argue that the entire Camilla/Charles/Diana saga was, in addition to him being a terrible husband, him being a terrible father. He has been known to be cold, although less so in recent years, and perhaps more so in the last two!

Hmmm. William seems to have had the same father as his brother. I don’t hear the same series of non-stop complaints from that camp.

William may have had a different experience, a different temperament, different treatment as the oldest and the heir, and much more to lose.

It just makes me laugh that Meghan rolled up into the palace with these diva boss babe demands and an exacting “work ethic” that no one could keep up with like she was some super A lister or high powered former CEO or executive. Like, lady where do you get off. You were a former ensemble player on a cable show. Please spare me the sob story of how no staff could keep up with your professional demands. It sounds like she was being a huge brat and was drunk on her newly found power and status. That’s MUCH different than being a demanding boss although she wouldn’t know that because she never was a boss or had subordinates before in her C lister life!

Getting a position on a regularly airing show is likely more than the whole British family (save possibly Philip) could do if they had to make things happen themselves. I don’t think a single one of them that isn’t a married-in graduated with honors of any kind which is the one opportunity they have to show their stuff without their name (sorta).

It is what it is. It's not like Meghan could make a Netflix or a book deal happen by herself either.

Let's say it again: the Sussex problem is that their connection to the royal family is the most interesting thing about them.

I don't think that is THEIR problem, they seem to know that and be leveraging it. It seems to be that that is the problem YOU and people like you have with them. That they have been able to leverage the connection to establish fame and security for themselves while extracting themselves from the situation.

Sorry they didn't pull a Britney and just accept abusive indentured servitude indefinitely.

They have used their royal connection while at the same time bashing everything about the BRF. Some people who haven’t drunk the Kool aid might think that’s a tad hypocritical.

They haven't bashed everything about the BRF, that is hyperbolic.

What have they not complained about?

QE2, Cousins, Phillip, Frogmore (the public complained about this not H&M), charitable work

They said in the Oprah interview someone in the family made comments about Archie's potential skin color. Did they clarify who they were talking about? I think Gayle said (maybe Gayle?) said it wasn't the Queen or Philip. But they didn't clear anyone else right?

And in the Apple interview, didn't Harry make a comment about the Queen's terrible parenting of Charles and genetic pain and how he was going to do things differently? That doesn't seem very nice. Here's a link in case you forgot this:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/prince-harry-royals-genetic-pain-b1847238.html

While it might not be “very nice” it’s also stuff that Charles openly put out there first. So castigate Charles for putting the details of his upbringing out there for open discussion.

Diana had style and charisma. I think Kate and Meghan have more natural beauty than her though.

I agree with this. Diana had the IT factor, which not many people have. And she was naturally photogenic. But Kate and Meghan are both far prettier than her.

She was also a product of her times- in today's social media world, would she have been as beloved? Who knows?

Bingo. Diana had a ton of charisma and the IT factor. It's hard to describe, but you sure know when you see it. Even today when looking at pictures of Diana, she just stands out from everyone else in the picture. Her charisma still comes through.

Kate is definitely naturally prettier than Diana but she doesn't have the charisma/IT factor. She can blend in. Diana never could blend in. Meghan is also naturally prettier, has the charisma (more charisma than Kate but not nearly at the same level as Diana).

Diana was much prettier than any of them. Kate however has the personalty (or appears to). In real life that wins especially since she is also cute. If you have seen close ups of Meghan she has really bad skin. I'm thinking she has a lot of sun damage from year ago, but she is not ageing well. At least Diana knew her role in regards to public events and obligations. Same with Kate. Meghan proved to be the selfish person she is and bailed.

Neither women has bad skin. WTH. This thread…

Are you blind? Kate looks like a wrinkled old bag and she’s younger than Meghan.

Kate does have bad skin- combo of tanning and smoking. Meghan's looks like sun damage from a youth spent in CA. I personally find Meghan gorgeous and more charismatic than Kate. I also prefer Meghan's style over Kate's style.

+1. PP sounds disingenuous and jealous. I cannot imagine someone would point out Meghan’s minor skin issues while ignoring Kate’s horrific skin.

Ok, I’m somewhat non biased:
Meghan is gorgeous! She has much more style than Kate. Lovely skin.
Kate is more resilient. Tougher. I have faith in Kate. Her personality *seems* more approachable, warmer. Hard to really comment on personalities as none of know them, but that’s my read.

Why can't all 4 of them go? Parents travel with babies/kids all the time . And of all people with private ages, nannies, and other help at their beckoning , this should be easy (especially compared to us commoners who still travel successfully with babies/kids).

I’m the same PP - yes, I agree that it seems like an excuse. She clearly doesn’t want to go or has been asked/told not to, and this is the public reason. However, even if I were taking her 100% at her word, I understand why she wouldn’t want to fly all that way and travel internationally with a month-old baby. Especially during a pandemic, even assuming H&M are vaccinated.

So what? Harry still said that stuff and basically accused him of being a bad father. He can say what he wants about Charles and the rest of the BRF (thanks, First Amendment!), but he’s not insulated from the very obvious interpersonal and financial consequences of his words. Such as that his family/father doesn’t like it and cuts him off. If he expected to be able to say all this and still be welcomed with open arms and have Charles continue to give him money, well, he was wrong. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to imagine that would happen.

To be clear Lilibet is 21 days old. What responsible parent would get on an airplane to a foreign country with a newborn baby even preCovid? If this thread is any indication of the idiocy Megan and Harry have to deal with, than I definitely feel for them. I would not have the patience for such foolishness, it’s one thing to attack H&M but all bets are off when innocent babies are involved.

So how much for Harry and how much for Will?

Prince Charles continued to financially support the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after they stepped down as senior members of the British royal family, according to financial accounts released Thursday.

Prince Charles’s office, Clarence House, published in its annual accounts that Charles paid his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, and their families, a sum of $6.3 million. The annual report covers the period from April 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021. It’s not broken down by family.

Harry previously had told Oprah Winfrey that his family "literally cut me off financially" in the first quarter of 2020. He said he had to use money left to him by his mother, Princess Diana, to help pay for security for his family.

A spokesman for Clarence House told the BBC that “the Prince of Wales allocated a substantial sum” to Harry and Meghan, the duke and duchess, last year “to support them” with their transition in stepping down as senior members of the British royal family and relocating to California.
