Will They Really Come in the Summer?

 Will they really come in the summer?  or will it blow up at last minute like the wedding?

Part of me thinks they won't but ... if they do ... will it become the See the Real Faces of the Kids show instead of who it should be on - the people will be out on the playing field?

'Harry is expected ', 'Harry could'. It's all speculation at this stage, maybe to generate some interest, however little: will they? won't they? Frankly, we Brits are past caring - I certainly don't care. * hates us anyway and knows she's not welcome so I doubt she'd condescend to grace us with her presence. Harry *might* come, maybe with the children, maybe not. I'll wait until anything actually happens.
Sassie said…
I do not believe for one minute that the children will accompany Harry to UK this summer, due to risk of children being photographed, and ID’d via DNA samples.

I suspect that Harry is coming to the end of his rope and hopes a reunion including his two spawn and wife with Pa (King Charles) will keep him in the running for lots of gelt on Pa’s death, and will convince the powers that Harry and his “family” should in future be re-included in Trooping the Color on balcony, etc… all the glittering glamorous events Harry and Meghan thought they would continue to be invited to although they fled the racist monarchy-adjacent money-is-no-object life.

To keep Harry compliant, Meghan might falsely agree to bring the kids to UK but will come up with a patently fake excuse to leave them home at last minute. She might or might not actually accompany Harry this summer.

Only time will tell. They sicken me.
Girl with a Hat said…
there are no children.
The baroness knows that money troubles are in Montecito for good and they must begin to beg the King to finance their lives so she sends Harry to beg. She will never show children in England because a) she wants the money for their first proper photos b) she will never risk the possibility of those kids staying in Britain with Harry for good c) the day children come to Britain nobody takes her photos, she will be the day before yesterday's news d) I doubt the trusts she can get those children behave as well as the Wales children and e) I doubt she will arrive for she is afraid of the boos and the deep contempt the Brits feel against her.

Catherine was beautiful in her yellow frock today and that was reason enough to start this summer's endless will they wont they game. We all know Harry's wife and she never invents anything new, it will be the same old same old again and again.

According to the BBC Red Button text service, `the BBC ` understands' that they'll both be coming here next month - and bringing the children.
It'll be interesting to see if they let her in.
In the event that they do all show up, might His Maj exercise his lawful right to have custody of the children? Presumably * is as ignorant of that nugget of our law as she was of the `of the body' rule.

here's what it says on the BBC News site:

Daniela Relph, Senior Royal correspondent and Noor Nanji, Royal correspondent
Published
9 hours ago
`The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to bring their two children to the UK in July, BBC News understands.

Prince Harry and Meghan will be accompanied by Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five. Next month will be one year to the start of the Invictus Games.

It will be the first time the duke, who lives in California, has visited the UK with his family in four years.

Prince Harry has spoken previously about his desire to bring his two children back to his country of birth. It is not clear what the security arrangements for the visit will be.

It is not yet known whether King Charles will meet his grandchildren on this visit.

The King last saw his grandchildren during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.

In a BBC News interview last year, Prince Harry spoke of his desire for a "reconciliation" with the Royal Family.

Last September, he met his father King Charles at Clarence House in London, their first face to face meeting since February 2024.

The meeting was seen as a first step in improving relations between father and son and building trust in what has seemed a deep family rift.

Prince Harry's security was downgraded after he stepped back from frontline royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US with his family.

In May, Prince Harry lost a legal case to have his police protection reinstated when visiting the UK.

Speaking to the BBC after the ruling, he said it was not safe to bring his family back to the country of his birth because he could not guarantee their safety.

In December, sources told the BBC that Prince Harry's access to security when he visits the UK was under review.

A government spokesperson said on Wednesday: "The UK government's protective security system is rigorous and proportionate.

"It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals' security."

The duke's spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

The prince founded the Invictus Games in London in 2014. Next year's competition will be held in Birmingham.'

Were we not sceptical about the King seeing the children previously? I long to get my red pen out and make sarcastic comments in the margins on the inaccuracies in this report - once a schoolmarm, always a schoolmarm!
Maneki Neko said…
As you said, * might well be ignorant of that 'nugget of our law'. In any case, I thought she didn't want to set foot in England again because we treated her so badly, as did the RF. I'll believe it when I see it.
@Maneki Neko
I don't believe it either - she'll bottle out, as per usual.
BTW That `personal' donation of £1m he pledged to Children in Need was, as we guessed, nothing of the sort. It came from a charity set up in Diana's name, apparently,

Maneki Neko said…
I'm not sure it's so much a question of bottling it out as never planning to go in the first place. You never know but after everything she said about the BRF, the British, England (she never went elsewhere, i.e. Wales or Scotland, as far as I remember), I don't think she'd have the brass neck to show up.

Will she show with the kids? eh, no body expected to see a child in South Africa. On the flip side, it might be a tad stressful to have the kids (who have not exactly practiced being in public) be ... out there, served on silver platter.
Maneki Neko said…
The information was taken from the Sun, i.e. not reliable. Even if Harry comes with the children, and and even bigger if, with wifey, there's no guarantee the public will see them. There are more important news in the UK at the moment.
This is hilarious. The baroness is forced to show herself and Harry's children next month in Britain to get photos with the Royal Family. Which photos and why you might ask?

Well the photos that show the world that the baroness is king Charles's BELOVED daughter-in-law and the most respected member of his family.

For she has 700.000 items of runny jam and flower sprinkles to sell during the next 12 months before their expirarion date next summer and the clock is ticking.

This could not happen to a nicer person, could it?

Maneki Neko said…
Just saw a short YouTube video, Dan Wootton says the duo will unveil the children during their visit to the UK. I only watched a bit, I'll wait to see if and when it happens. He reckons they'll do it for money. No surprise there.

https://youtube.com/shorts/N_o6pJVTCHk?is=m1F4ray-8je8rBDG
According to today's front page of the Sun, `Meg's in' , they'll stay at a royal palace and the `King is said to be overjoyed at seeing grandkids...'
So, setting up His Maj for bitter disappointment when they don't come? Or planning to storm out when they don't get the dosh?

There was little in the report that we didn't already know, except that she' be bringing a Netflix camera crew with her. Of course... she wants footage.
Maneki Neko said…
A DM article behind a pay wall but you can get the text based article. The gist of it is that this might not be the sweet family reunion Harry wants.
A few excerpts : ...'the visit has been interpreted differently. Insiders are aghast at the prospect.'. 'Harry bringing his children to the UK has been interpreted as a ‘manipulative’ gambit and an act of ‘emotional blackmail’ against the King.'
'Strong words – but they are also echoed in California where two sources close to the Sussexes were equally stunned by this week’s announcement, calling it ‘a new low’. 'A source said: ‘I don’t think this will be a reunion. It’s more of a trap. It’s a challenge.'
I hope they won't try to inveigle their way into the fold. I'll wait until the Place makes an official announcement.

Lengthy discussion here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1uamd3d/new_british_citizenship_rules_could_stop_claw_the/

...on the passports needed for members of the family to enter the UK.

One point has long puzzled me - when Archie was `born' there was no mention of * or H contacting the US Embassy to ensure that Archie would be registered as a US citizen. Did I miss something?
Had it happened, I'm sure she would have produced photos. Was this another `dog that didn't bark in the night', like not appearing with the babe outside the hospital. She's never been known to miss a photo-op.

BTW I read that H's preferred London hotel is the Royal Lancaster, .5 Tube stops away from Soho House. We went to a dinner there last year - it's rather swish.
abbyh said…
In that same article (DM) someone wrote how the Cambridges have only met Archie a couple of times. My mind immediately went back to the pictures of when both families were at a polo match where she was wearing olive green as I recall. (um, yeah, that was quite the high stress on display gathering)

There is a part of me which thinks that they really could show up with the kids (just like the appearance in SA, a see they do exist lob). I think it would be stressful for all though. For the adults, not just the normal stress of traveling with kids, not being in your own home but also the trying to control/manage the optics with layers of long resentment to the press (and possible the BRF). For the kids, they don't have the practice of being in the public eye that the Wales have.

It would draw the attention in a way that maybe even other BRF members might not top during those specific days. Alas, if so, then it became the H and M show again.

As for the does she know about the right of the King and all that, that has been out there since they started having kids. So not a secret we know that she can't possible have read somewhere. So I doubt that is a factor in the decision to show or not.
Maneki Neko said…
@Wild Boar

An excellent point re passport rules *for dual citizens*. I am as certain as I can possibly be that * didn't get British citizenship. It is not automatic, she would have been exempt of the language test, English being her first language but not the Life in the UK test. We know she had zero interest in the country and its people. Anyway, she wasn't in the UK long enough (3 years minimum residency even married to a Brit).
Re Harry, I suppose if he had US citizenship, we would have heard about it. As for the sprogs, nothing has ever been mentioned. If they are dual citizens then they must enter the UK on a British passport. If they don't have a British passport but do have dual nationality, they cannot be denied entry but must still prove their nationality to the immigration officer's satisfaction. Also, While Border Force cannot turn you away, your airline or carrier might. 'Under "pre-departure checks," carriers are required to verify that you have permission to travel'. Also, 'If you do not hold a valid visa, Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), or British passport, you risk being denied boarding before your flight.' (gov.uk).
This, of course, assuming they all come over.
Maneki Neko said…
The question of British citizenship reminds me of an article on Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, as she turns 80 today. A genuine, classy duchess, who has always supported the BRF, quietly and respectfully, never drawing attention to herself. She 'willingly took on British citizenship' and is proud to be British, while being respectful of her Danish heritage. Obviously, she also had to learn English (she met her husband while she attended a language school in Cambridge). The contrast with * couldn't be greater.
From the beginning we were told that Harry's wife was whip smart university educated woman (when talking of her I will not use the word lady, ever) though Paula M channel has proved that she probably never graduated because her story about double major in theater and international studies does not ad up with realities in the Northwestern University study programs. To be able to reach double major in any competent university you need to be there and study which H's wife did not do according her own tales and there is no photo of her in her graduation robes. And in the life of our baroness if there is no photo it did not happen. But we know she lies about everything and more so that is not the question.

Well she has been free from the royal duties over six years now and all she has is dry pieces of hay and harebell in jars and an idea to sprinkle this trash over anything and everything she can think of.

After the marriage with Harry the world was literally her oyster. She has trampled over that oyster thoroughly and good so nothing of it is any more. When the whole world has been discussing the sussex money troubles for at least six months NOW her genius brain invents the idea of returning to Britain and to start begging/blackmailing money from the King.

That woman is an idiot, a moron of the worst quality. Totally incapable of planning and carrying out anything. It seems that she has destroyed their economy for I am quite sure that during these years in California Harry's part in anything touching family finances has been his $ 0,75 for three lollipops of his own choice every Saturday.

The idea that our middle aged heroine would show her bare shoulders and breasts on the Buckingham palace balcony any time soon seems very far fetched to me but what do I know? The stories in social media tell us that she has a plan how to win Britain and it's ruling family on her side again and she is quite sure it will be just a walk in a park to achieve all she wants .

Maneki Neko said…
I mentioned Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, who turned 80 today. She is the epitomy of understated elegance, class and dignified appearance. * could have learnt so much from her.

'it seems to me that she didn't understand that she didn't understand.'. This is very., very true.Not a clue. I think it was a case of * having certain expectations but then realising that the reality was very different.
Sassie said…
Ugghhh. My partner is doing the Sunday Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle right now and mentioned that one clue is “The Duchess of Sussex”.

He knew her full name and how to spell it, due to her incessant publicity pushes.

I wish my sweetheart knew nothing about that shrew; I wish the world knew nothing about that shrew.
@Maneki Neko
Oh dear, I'm sorry about that. I'd expect illiam to e livid.
Charles seems to be turning the other cheek, more devout than he is usually given credit for? Perhaps he'll take a firm line nevertheless, like the previous time and kick them out the moment they overstep the mark. God willing. .
Maneki Neko said…
After the Waleses released a photo of William and Charlotte, * has to post a photo of Harry with his arms around A & L. We only the back of the children, though, as per usual. I don't know why she bothers but she had to mark Father's Day. She must have forgotten she has a father. Hypocrite.
Of course, HM may have set stringent conditions on the visit eg all he family or none at all. All meetings will include the Queen and so on, Fingers crossed...
Larf! They've been `Markled by Starmer'!
They'll hardly get a look-in on the front pages, given the current political scene here.

Yes, eclipsed by Starmer! Mind you, we could do with a bit of light relief at the moment.
So Harry's wife's PR teams have been responsible about the fact that nobody likes her and they have forced her to play Diana?

There is not one sound brain cell in that woman's head and I hope she gets some very loud boos everywhere she goes this summer.

Iansgirltammy said…
I keep thinking about all the female politicians who signed the letter of support, or whatever they called it, for Nutmeg, before Megxit. Are they still holding office? It seems to me there are likely many anti-Monarch type pols who could hold all sorts of events for the duo, with much public fawning. I hope all this talk of the entire fam coming is wishful thinking on behalf of the Harkles, because while I do think they would be booed, I doubt they would be with children in tow. If they do bring the kids, it will be as much for shielding as money.

Here's a straight-speaking Northern lass telling it like it is. (Would I be right in thinking she's Mancunian?)
From SMM.
Maneki Neko said…
I am nothing if not thorough so went though the list of 72 MPs who sign the letter of support for * to check their political affiliations and whether they were still in office. Some names were well known, not to say notorious. As I suspected, they were mostly Labour with about 5 MPs being Conservatives or LibDems. Labour are generally anti monarchy but the support for the sisterhood is not surprising as the letter condemned 'outdated, colonial undertones' (!) of some of the stories around *. Quite a few of the 72 MPs are not in office any more for various reasons, about 10, I'd say, give or take.
Maneki Neko said…
@Wild Boar

I've listened to a few minutes of the YouTube video you mention. I couldn't detect a Manchester accent although the 'northern lass' has some northern vowels. I looked her up, her name is Stef the Alter Nerd and she is Canadian. She has a 'noticeable Canadian-British accent' and has lived in Yorkshire according to the internet. A bit of a hybrid! I couldn't really place her intonation either at times. Some on Reddit said she had a Michigan accent but then it's near Canada.
https://www.reddit.com/r/90DayFiance/comments/knbeji/can_anyone_tell_me_what_stephanies_accent_is/
In view of the weather, HM might decide to go to Balmoral early, I suppose, with timing like his escape to Sandringham , like the previous occasion when H called on him.
Frankly, I think it's all a hoo-hah about nothing.
Accents fascinate me. - I thought there was a hint of something transatlantic at start., then it seemed to become Yorkshire, then drift west of the Pennines.
Got it wrong that time!
Maneki Neko said…
I hope Charles decamps to Balmoral before the duo and sprogs arrive, if they do come indeed, or else finds himself otherwise engaged. William might be washing his hair. Seriously, I cannot imagine William wanting to meet * and very likely, not Harry either.
Maureen Callahan in the DM reckons they're bringing the begging bowl. I think that's the only reason * would condescend to visit the UK, it certainly wouldn't be for the love of the RF, the country or its inhabitants.
The article is behind a pay wall but you can access the text-based site - better as there are no photos.
https://www.dailymail.com/textbased/debate/text-15916191/harry-meghan-markle-uk-return-maureen-callahan.html
I must admit that the idea of Harry's wife crawling on all fours to kiss the hem of the King's mantle is gratifying and invigorating. And Harry on his hands and knees after her. And if the children are with their "parents" they could seek asylum and the King could grant them that.

One can always dream, can't one?

Iansgirltammy said…
Maneki, thank you so much for looking that up! It would be interesting to know if the support is still there; I'm guessing it is and am hoping * stays home.
Maneki Neko said…
I, and I'm sure most Brits, would rather * stayed home to make jam or candles etc. Harry can fly in incognito, after all he used to be in and out of the UK and Canada when he and * were 'courting' - I use the term loosely.
According to the general news, we (ie the British population) are all `stunned' that His Maj doesn't want to live in Buck House as he prefers to stay put in Clarence House. My apologies to all the journos for not clutching my pearls but It's no surprise to me - this news broke a couple of months ago! I wonder if the Harkles are hoping to be able to move into Buck House?

Now the news is that Harry wants to take the children to Diana's grave. I presume he has his uncle's permission to visit the island where she's buried but that apart, the children are too young to appreciate, especially as they can't have any memories of her (not alive anyway. I believe Harry & * had a large photo of Diana in the nursery). Excerpt from Spare:

'At long last I was bringing the girl of my dreams [the girl of his dreams?] home to meet Mum. We hesitated, hugging, and then I went first. I placed flowers on the grave. Meg gave me a moment, and I spoke to my mother in my head, told her I missed her, asked her for guidance and clarity.

“Feeling that Meg might also want a moment, I went around the hedge, scanned the pond. When I came back, Meg was kneeling, eyes shut, palms against the stone. [a tad melodramatic, no?]

“I asked, as we walked back to the boat, what she’d prayed for. Clarity, she said. And guidance'.

I can't say their prayers were answered if that's the clarity and guidance they got. I hope this won't turn into a photo op for *.
If the children are taken to Althorp and Diana's grave you can bet there will a photo or seventeen of them praying clarity and guidance with Harry's wife with their hands against the stone. If the earl Spencer has any brains he ought to stop H's wife publishing those photos.

It is interesting that once again H's wife is the main news in the papers and will stay so some two or three weeks from now. The most vacuous woman in the world and she is "news" only because she is incapable of behaving like a decent human being.

Just one more way to ratchet up the Will they or Won't they come drama.
@alianor
In England, the law gives any landowner/householder the right to control photography on their premises. Usually, as with National Trust, one is allowed to take photos outside but not inside (this not public land but `land to which the public has access' - big difference). So in law, Earl Spencer has the right to control photography at Althorp, especially on the island.

@Maneki Neko
It this hasn't already been confirmed, this must be firm evidence that Ravec said `No'. Will there be another law suit?
According to the DT, via Yahoo News George has been having flying lessons. So we can expect Archie to get his private pilot's licence anytime now?

New post up with more thoughts about the potential for a summer visit.

New Year (and what's next?)

 Another year and what will it bring for them (and us who watch)?   One thing I thought of is control of their image for appearances.  It isn't just that they have lost so many people in such a fairly short time period but who they lost.  The people who advised, handled details to make the events happen - road trips to volunteering.  We've been saying all along that each loss is a ripple of warning towards a potential new hire coming in.  New hires, yes but what about fund raising?  Cash flow?  This, from SMM, is an interesting read: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1puzsvh/impact_report_990_review_from_a_nonprofit/ Which leads us to money.  Keeping their image engine running costs a lot.  No doubt there are a lot details, paperwork, contracts to negotiate and find new groups to partner with.  Hence the need for a good team. The duo could do some of it or all but for how long?   side note: the peopl...

So, when does the dirt on Meghan come out?

"This is only hearsay, but in London a Brit socialite who knew her way around money, Europe, royalty told me - and my companion, so I wasn't alone in hearing this - that Meghan was known in the old days. 'She was around the famous playgrounds Europeans visit...and known to be shopping for a rich husband.'" That's a quote from Cindy Adams in yesterday's New York Post . Cindy is old - so old that she interviewed the original Duchess of Windsor. "Who was also American,"  writes Cindy.   "She was not happy afterward. She was tough. I interviewed her. She was constantly looking to negotiate some sort of financial betterment." So, when does the dirt start coming out? How about now. Who will drop the information? We've had more than 1200 comments since the Sussex summit on Monday, so please allow me to repeat part of my answer to a question hidden somewhere within that forest of text.
