Don't buy this. Although an eventual split wouldn't surprise me, not while the kids are young I don't think.

It’s people in their circles talking about them being on the rocks. I’ll come back in a few years and bump this thread

Watch for Harry to start making more appearances in the Uk.

If he were going to make more appearances he would’ve been there for his fathers coronation in Scotland - instead he celebrated 4th of July at home.

I actually like H&M and I think they were being thrown to the tabloid wolves as sacrifice for the family because he was the spare. He wanted a reason to get out, Meghan was tired of being raked and they left. I think both sides have blame to take.

I agree, PP. Has it occurred to anyone that the royal family, in conjunction with the tabloids, now have a greater interest in making Kate seem happier? Right on cue, all the photos and stories are designed to indicate that and the public is easily manipulated. Knowing now how much the royal family schemes and feeds the tabloids has changed my perspective.

You do know her PR team is on total overtime since the Harry and Meghan debacle? And then again for the coronation. Everything you see is spin.

Diana was set up for failure.

I'm not a big H&M fan but I don't see divorce on the horizon at least in the immediate future.

Agreed, though I'm basically neutral on them (not a fan, but I don't hate either of them the way many seem to). Not only do I think they'd ever split while the kids are young, I actually think recent events have bonded them together even more. Harry's book threw him all in with Meghan and with his position that he (and they collectively) have been wronged by the family and staying was intolerable. Like so many of his grievances that are now publicly aired have nothing at all to do with Meghan, but she's backing him up and supporting him while his family approaches it all with an arm's length approach and less emotionality. They are a unit now and he would not be welcomed back to the BRF with open arms at this point, so they are all in on that marriage for the foreseeable future.

They are both products of divorce, severe dysfunction and mental illness. Throw in the stress of abandoning your family and friends and moving to another country--with very little if any contact to those old friends and it is really a huge obstacle...huge, huge. He gave up everything and he's isolated on this side of the pond without any good mates--not great confidants. That does not bode well for their future.

I don’t think they’ll divorce while the kids are young, but this factor has to be enormous. I can’t imagine the emotional and cultural dislocation he must feel. Harry himself probably didn’t understand exactly what he was giving up, because he’d never known anything else. The stories about him thinking Putin would be on his podcast actually ring true, because he came from a milieu where his Grandmother could command the presence of any world leader. He must have thought (still think?) that the respect and power would travel with him to the US. If he and Meghan would have been happy being a relatively anonymous rich people, they could have accomplished that in Britain. They could have disappeared to a country estate (a gift of the King, with their state provided security) and, over time, become one of the random Royal uncles and aunts that appear occasionally at various official functions. Instead, they convinced themselves that they would make their own way and show the Royal family that they weren’t needed. Talk about being born on third base and thinking you hit a triple.

There is zero chance Harry and Meghan could’ve retired to the British country side. The British press would not have let up on them if they’d remained in the country.

I do agree that H had no idea how hard isolating himself in another country would be however, we have no idea if his friends make regular trips here to the states and who their social circle is. I hope it’s not just the four of them and their live-in help and her mom. That’s not great for long term happiness.

H&M courted controversy and got controversy. If they did what Kate is perfectly capable of doing - keeping her mouth shut and getting on with it and not causing controversy, the presses would quickly move on from them and focus on the next generation of royals. Slipping away to a rural estate in Scotland for a life of outdoor activities and protected by a close knit circle of friends was highly feasible. But they threw it away by having continual tamper tantrums and a strange inability to walk away from the red carpet or the glare of camera bulbs.

A good role model would have been Zara Phillips, who got plenty of attention as a young woman but she made clear what her future was going to be, with a husband and a private life in the countryside. She gets the best of both worlds. Privacy most of the time, active in her own interests, and the occasional foray into the public eye at ceremonial events. They could have had a similar life, but neither H or M was willing to do what it takes to step away from the limelight.

She is Princess of Wales. She will always be in the press regularly, daily, for the rest of our lives. These are standard photos for someone in her role.

And she carries it off splendidly. These are not the photos of an unwilling woman. As time goes on, both she and William will be even more prominent in the presses as the future king and queen.

They’ve been gone for years so that doesn’t make sense.

He doesn’t seem stressed by it. Does not sound like he has been particularly close with his dad ever and his brother in a long time. Not sure why it’s impossible for someone to make new friends after moving? Which they appear to have done. Also he’s one of many royals to move to the US. Princess Madeline of Sweden moved to Miami with her American husband around the same time but because she doesn’t have the army of psychotics praying her marriage falls apart you don’t get endless articles about how sad and lonely she is.

Harry and Megan met in middle age and immediately moved in, she fell in love with his status and he fell in love with her Rachel Zane persona.

This is such a dumb take. No one who meets over thirty is going to wait around for ten years to get a proposal. It’s not a knock to their relationship that due to biology they didn’t have a decade to break up and get back together over and over again.

But how does that work? The tabloids are both saying Harry is isolated and friendless. Yet people in the inner circle are commenting on his marriage. Who are these magically friends who simultaneously are nonexistent but also gossiping?

William has money. If she had money I would think she would have kicked a little bit to her parents so they could have avoided the embarrassment of having a stream of their creditors from their bankrupt business blabbing to the press. She needs to get like Cam and start getting her husband to get her some properties of her own at least.

Even if the rumors about marital strife are true, I don’t imagine Harry would want to move back to the UK, far away from his kids. He’s kind of stuck here.

Princess Madeleine is moving her family back to Sweden.

Ok. Princess Mako is another one that lives in the United States who also doesn’t have thousands of articles about how her life must be terrible and friendless because she’s not in her home country. And for her she also has the added unpleasantness of being a minority in her new country.
