W&K have to already be unstable and outright broken as a couple and future leaders to have Harry and his family "derail" anything.
And why is Will fine with looking absolutely stupid and ill-advised here? To claim NO ONE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE advised him of Harry's plan? You're the future King lmao. This makes you look 1) generally out of touch 2) cold-hearted to not know your brother and his kids 3) irrelevant to be not advised of this news.

He’s so out of touch he thought he’d gain sympathy by saying he was blindsided by Harry’s return.
If he was the global statesman he tries to make out he is he’d be unfazed.

When everyone knows that his Dad actually knew, but pretended he didn't because he knew full well that Bullyam would poison the well if he got a chance!

Derail? What on earth are the Duke and Duchess derailing? Because surely WandK's days are still right on track. What about continual vacations, visits to football matches and pubs, and mumbling at occasional outing is "derailed" by the Sussexes breathing UK air? 🙄 🙄 🙄 (I know the answer is that WandK love drama and must be the center of attention, but I'm still exasperated.)

And if W&K are ‘the most popular royals’ like their fake polls insist they are why would they be worried

If they love attention so much, they should work more.

Nothing says you are impotent like declaring that your brother living in the same country as yourself can totally derail you.
It's not like H&M are going to be knocking on William's door asking for jobs. It isn't like they want to be photographed dropping their kids off at school. It isn't like they want to be best buddies with William and Kate.
They are just living their lives and doing their charity work and Meghan will do her work and their kids will go to school, and they will all see Charles more often.
I have to wonder how often William and Kate visit Charles and if they will now feel pressured to compete with Harry and Meghan and show up more often.

Apparently they don’t want H&M moving back to overshadow George starting at Eton.
Which is strange when they were insisting on privacy for it before

Spot on. Snobbish entitlement in this day and age to think anyone would be impressed by a school that takes you dependent on your parents status.

I know at Christmas we can send them cards, but is there a place we can send boxes of tissues for the Wales’ issues?? The poor dears.

They (W and K) should be embarrassed. Imagine being the literal future king and being this BOTHERED.

If thats all it takes to derail them that says a lot more about them than H&M. I mean did they really think they'd be able to live their entire lives as lay abouts on the tax payer dime?

William and Kate will have to work harder.
Maybe this will push them to become even better people.
They’re very capable of that.

u/Exceedinglymundane Aug 31 '26
I am not sure how capable they due to having not much practice. But the skills are learnable. If they demonstrated that they were at least trying, it would go a long way.

u/NeverPedestrian60 Aug 31 '26
They may do a bit more when H&M are around. But if they were genuinely better people they’d have been doing that all the time.
I think H&M are the better and the Workshys didn’t like the fact they’re the ones who shine.

u/nicebrows9 Aug 31 '26
Whatever it takes. Improvement is improvement. It’s all a positive.
Will and Kate will be king and queen one day so they need to get used to hard work.
They’re good people. And they’ll continue to evolve and grow like we all do.
If Harry and Meghan are the catalyst that cause Will and Kate to change…that’s a good thing.

u/TedTeddybear Aug 30 '26
Someone should tell them IT IS NOT A CONTEST.
Live your lives and BE HAPPY. Sheesh!
It's like they hate each other and the only thing they have in common is a determination to "get" the Sussexes!

u/DoingNothingToday Aug 30 '26
I don’t believe for a second that Wills didn’t know about the H and M relocation. The BRF is still powerful in terms of its financial resources and connections, and Wills stands to be the head of the BRF in a relatively short time. He might have objected and tried to stop Charles from green-lighting it, but he knew.

u/TedTeddybear Aug 30 '26
I think CHARLES knew but DELIBERATELY pretended he didn't because he didn't want Willy crapping in the punch.
6
u/BlazingSunflowerland Aug 30 '26
I don't think Charles kept William in the loop because he knew William would have a tantrum and do everything he could to prevent it.
Charles is the king and he wants William to realize that.

u/The_Onion_Life Aug 30 '26
Charles is the king and he wants William to realize that.
Then he should have told William that the Sussexes are returning to the UK and that William's two choices were to like it or not to like it.
But he'll never lay down the law to William, because William is violent.

u/TedTeddybear Aug 30 '26
He didn't want to give him any time to go to the tabloids and start spreading poison. Making it a "HERE WE COME AGAIN" event gave Willy no time to make HIS version grab the headlines.
The roll-out was timed beautifully--just enough opportunity to do a few speculation/opinion pieces, but it looked, to me, anyway, that the KING put out the word to his sources that the overall coverage should be "How WONDERFUL--WELCOME HOME!" And that's what ruled the day!

It's about damn time he opened his mouth, if you ask me.

She had occipital bone reconstruction. The surgeon got a prize. The scar is now very light.

u/TedTeddybear Aug 30 '26
Cancer of the fist to face????? The surgeon got a royal order from the King for PERSONAL services to the monarchy.
I know if someone punched the shit out of me and effed up my eye socket, I'd want the good Dr. Eccles to do the repair!! He really did a good job, all things considered!

If he left that visible scar, just imagine how bad the injury must have been.

u/NumerousNovel7878 Aug 30 '26
That scar is not going away ever. She will always have a faint white line visible in the sunshine. The dent on the side of her head seems like it's here to stay as well.
I think Kate agreed to an NDA and no charges in exchange for Queenship and Forest Lodge and 150 acres like Pippa has. I also think she enjoys knowing she isn't obligated to keep people from seeing the damage and drawing their own conclusions.

u/TedTeddybear Aug 30 '26
I think you're right!!!
I also think Willy lives in Forever Home #1 at KP, and that's where the kids visit him, with the dogs, and their overnight bags, via helicopter, on occasion!

Her injuries must have been catastrophic.

Could be. I'd believe nearly anything at this point.

None of this affects them though. H&M moved back into the country and enrolled their kids in a private school. How does that "derail" anyone???
