So I started thinking about the whole history of her and them which leads up to now she's done with the British Royal Family.
I was influenced by Beeb's video of how she believes that there is a case that they expected to be chased to come back into the family, get everything they wanted when they left.

I don't think it was the first bluff though. For me, I think it may have started maybe about the time he "asked" the Queen about her approval of marriage to *. Her comment was more along the lines of I guess I have to agree to this. I remember reading it in his book and thinking: Boy, that is just not a ringing endorsement by her, is it?
Then there was the wedding date. That whole pushing aside his cousin so he could get married before her. That degree of rush, rush kind of sounds like a need (for appearances) rather than a desire to marry.
All the family has done is to repeatedly not engage to negative outbursts. While being blamed loudly on and off the world's stage. Years.
And yet, the tide is turning on that part of the negative public opinion of the British Family. Respect for dealing with him, her, them. More and more people are looking differently at the endless drama and questioning it.
So ... is she really done?
Maybe? Maybe not? Is this another bluff? (the snarky side of me says: Is that a promise or threat that you can be held to?)
It's hard to tell.
She needs them more than they need her. So I suspect that she will continue to try to get what she wants but will redouble her efforts by continuing working through him rather than a direct approach. Sandringham? Frog Cott? Charities? and the removal list rises while they lose time and time again.
So not much has worked yet (for the couple). It's kind of like watching someone try to play chess while using strategy they learned from checkers. The opposition - the monarchy, the palace, the British royal family all have a clear and good sense of who they are, what they can and cannot do and have good advisors at every step of the path. They have built this for a good thousand years.
It is their chessboard.
I wrote this and then the news blew up that there was a secret meeting.
I still don't know but ...
It's kind of hard to walk back from implying that I would not have anything to do with you ever again and act like it was your evil twin who must have been the one who was the source of this.

If TW was at that meeting, do you realize she had to curtsy to Camilla? That Harry had to bow to Camilla? You might say it was a "private meeting"—sure, but protocol is protocol.
2. If TW was at that meeting, do you realize she was there without a single one of her demands being met? No apologies, no equality with Kate, nothing.
3. Highgrove. People say "Charles's private home." No. Highgrove is Charles's "leased" home. Highgrove is owned by William. So that meeting, there, took place with William's knowledge and under William's rules.
4. Regarding Highgrove: After Charles and Diana’s marriage in 1981, the rooms at Highgrove were decorated by interior designer Dudley Poplak in shades of lime and aquamarine; later, however, Camilla commissioned decorator Robert Kime to create a different atmosphere. In other words, the Highgrove Harry knew—and where Diana once lived—is not the Highgrove he visited today.
5. William and Kate were out in public at a polo match, looking very relaxed. So, did William know about this? He knew. He absolutely knew.
6. Was this what Harry wanted? Some might say, "He wanted the meeting, and he got it." Yes. But he didn't want the meeting to happen this way.
