Holy Moley, H is facing a massive lawsuit bill.He can't have that much money lying around, nor does he have any real source of income. He's going to have to sell everything.

I think his share is, what, 1/6 of 34 million pounds. The Mail's costs plus the plaintiffs'. That's including the insurance coverage. Wow!

They're in quite the financial pickle. I think they made some good money at first, when they were first signing deals. But their ongoing success didn't materialize and neither did the full payment on promised but undelivered content. Did they think the money would continue appear magically into their accounts? Wanting money and feeling they deserve it isn't the same as earning it and having providing security for yourself. I think they have a middle-schooler's understanding of how the world works.

She seems to think that everything she does is the BEST because she's just AMAZING. I'm glad she has a healthy attitude of positive thinking, but she could use a bit of humanity too.

I think that she and Harry have created their own ecosystem, where perceived grievances and undeserved praise are recycled between them. It's been years of "poor us" and "aren't we marvelous" to the point I don't think they can operate in the real world.

This the interim payment so there will be more plus each claimant, Harry in the lead, has the bills their legal team will present to them. I read in passing that Harry and David Shernbourne, Harry's barrister are not speaking. It's said Harry lit into David right after the judge's decision and things got ugly. I don't if it's true, but I could Harry doing such a thing.
They all the insurance company's decision hanging over them, as I said, the insurance company could very well deny paying out any money since the case was dismissed for lack of evidence, They would have a very good cause for denial.

She's been Markled

Posted by Martha on August 22, 2026, 5:48 pm, in reply to "August 22 - them"

Meghan Markle’s return to acting has reportedly been ‘cancelled’ amid critism over plans to cast her in the third season of The Gentlemen.

Royal author Tina Brown claimed last night that an offer for the Duchess of Sussex to appear in Guy Ritchie’s hit Netflix show had been withdrawn after the reaction in Britain became too ‘intense’.

Ms Brown said: ‘I learned that the casting of Meghan Markle has been withdrawn. The backlash was so intense it became untenable to go forward.’

I couldn't see Guy Ritchie reaching out and wanting Markle on this series. I wonder if the push came from Ted Sarandos or his wife. I would liked to read about clashes between Guy Ritchie and Markle..he doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Someone must have been hiding under a rock to consider Markle....as stated just putting her name out in connection with any business or media production ignites the kiss of death.

More from Delululand

Posted by Martha on August 23, 2026, 2:06 pm, in reply to "August 22 - them"

Harkle pr putting out the terms of their return. Madness. Charles needs his head examined if he goes along with this nonsense.

From the article (italics are mine, followed by my brilliant commentary):

In their best-case scenario, Harry and Meghan could remain a private couple while also making public appearances alongside serving royals once they return to the fold. In their dreams. Just which working royals do they think will welcome them tagging along, mugging for the camera and monopolizing the visit?

'It needs all sides to agree a template for "private royals-plus". It needs them to be much more "private" than "working", and be seen at family occasions, like Christmas at Sandringham. Agree to WHOSE template? This 'private royals-plus' sounds suspiciously like 'half in, half out' which has already been nixed. Tell them to stick to parking lots.

Absolute nonsense put out by Them. I don't think Charles is willing to destroy his relationship with William, which is what will happen if he allows Them back into the working RF fold. It would also lose much of the support for the monarchy, which would be an absolute disaster.

Does Charles or the Crown Estate have any properties in the Outer Hebrides where he can plop the privacy-loving Her and Him? Or maybe the Shetland Isles?

Notice that the article says they might move to Canada or Australia after a year. Both are Commonwealth countries. Harry is trying to stay connected, but is that because of sudden loyalty or is it connected to his visa situation? If he lied on his U.S. visa application as has been alleged, he might be on the verge of having it cancelled or at least not renewed. He won't have that problem in the Commonwealth.

Also, he can retain his titles and position in a Commonwealth country more than he can in the U.S. Assuming they aren't revoked. I think that if Charles was going to remove the dukedom it would have happened by now. By living in Canada or Australia there might be the buffer needed to keep King William from removing them.

Prince Harry quits African wildlife charity board after abuse scandal

Posted by Karen on August 24, 2026, 10:04 am, in reply to "August 22 - them"

The Duke of Sussex has resigned from the board of a controversial African wildlife charity prior to his planned return to the UK.

A spokesman for Prince Harry confirmed he is no longer a trustee of African Parks.

There was only one correct course for him and that was to sever ties with the organization. Good for him. Now he can complain about having nothing to do and needing charities and patronages to give him purpose and fill his time.

Must they clutch each other ALL the time? Can they not stand or walk independently of the other? It's like they're afraid the other one will run away if they're not holding on to him or her. It gets tiresome.

Posted by Martha on August 26, 2026, 12:04 pm, in reply to "Re: Sussexes flee US to escape utter ‘humiliation’ and potential jail time over Harry’s visa troubles "

The real humiliation will be the family shunning them when they return. I don't think the children will be mistreated but there will be no invitations to come round for dinner, either. Archie and Lili won't have their cousins over to see their new rooms and play in the yard. Other than Charles, nobody is happy to have them back.

It does occur to me that there was nothing Charles could do to stop the Sussexes from relocating back to England so by appearing to somewhat support their return he is exercising some leverage over them. Withdrawing his support could cause opportunities to dry up even further if either of them should overstep. And we know who it will be who does just that.

The humiliation not only with the family they both smeared again and again and didn't speak out when Omid Scobie labeled the King and Princess of Wales as the No.1 racists in the family. They have to contend with the public, the Govt. and now the judiciary that Harry all, but labeled corrupt just a mere 3 weeks, a month ago. Enjoy that huge, fat crow you have to eat Harry and Meghan.
The story that really seems to be sticking on the rest of the Net is the visa story. His visa was up for review and possible renewal, but supposedly Harry was tipped off that he was going to be arrested shortly. Not only lying, but for illegal use and possession of narcotics. It goes to the use of the narcotic "tea" he's been promoting all along. This last part about the drugs is, to me, pure speculation on the part of those whose items I've read, but it "could" go along, again, I view it as pure speculation, not hard fact.
The thing that gets me is the "they will only stay in the UK for a year, and then are looking at Canada or Australia to re-locate." They pull the kids out of Calif. right before they were ready for school and when the kids are comfortable in the UK, they'll pull them out and move somewhere else in a year. It has to be the visa situation, why would they move out in a hurry and then say they're going to relocate again in a year. Harry and another woman wouldn't bring all this on...unless she's following/stalking him and moving to the UK also.....

Posted by Martha on August 26, 2026, 11:00 pm, in reply to "Re: Sussexes flee US to escape utter ‘humiliation’ and potential jail time over Harry’s visa troubles "

There's one version that has Meghan worried about hanging on to her marriage, and that's why she agreed to the move. Really though, it looks like they've been planning this for some time. Harry said there was no use to keep fighting with his family, that he wanted to see his father regularly, have his children educated in England and know their heritage, etc. But after the stink they made and the insults they hurled it does take some crust to swan on over like nothing happened.

People Are Already Complaining

The article states the Sussexes are looking to live in the Cotswolds. The people living in the area are already up in arms and don't want them. Harry and Meghan are going to get this reaction wherever they live. They have a reputation...people don't want them.

Harry's cousin is happy They are back

Posted by Hollie24 on August 27, 2026, 12:37 pm, in reply to "August 22 - them"

Why do I think this was planted as an attempt to counteract all the opposition? Oh, right, because it was. Lady Eliza Spencer is excited about Them moving back. My guess is Their publicity team phoned around. So Their private (naturally, because They are Them)plane landed in Birmingham? And Althorpe is just an hour away? Plus a Spencer spoke up for Them? Well, I think we can assume They might be staying at Athorpe...

There was an entire article (DM?) about all the Spencer cousins and their kids just waiting with breathless anticipation for the return of their "American" cousins. It'll be interesting to see what transpires.

I doubt that Ladies E, K and A have any say in who stays at Althorpe, seeing as how they are apparently not in contact with their father.

Yes, I know they aren't in contact with their father. I was thinking the Earl himself offered a house to Them.

There is still considerable animus between Spencer and the Windsors. Just as a rude gesture to the BRF, he would offer Them a safe haven at Althorpe. Since he isn’t invited to any Windsor events anyway, Spencer isn’t losing anything by doing this. He’ll forever be on the outs because of the eulogy he gave for Diana so it doesn’t matter. I have a hunch this was discussed when They were at Althorpe recently. I would not be surprised to learn They are staying in a guest home on the estate, if not in the main house.
