Is this guy even part of the royal family?
4AnonymousAug 27, 2026 07:03
So they're coming back to the country after all lolololol
He's basically like Nakata from the comedy duo Oriental Radio lolololol (a Japanese celebrity known for leaving the country to "find himself" abroad, only to come back)

Thought the exact same thing
Guess it means these two are on the same level as that guy
6AnonymousAug 27, 2026 07:04
They're absolutely hated by the British public
Can they even manage living there?
11AnonymousAug 27, 2026 07:13
Oh, it's not "Meegan"?

Re: #11
It's a pronunciation difference
Japan: Mē-gan
UK: Meg-an
US: Mee-gaan

Doesn't want to do tedious royal duties
Doesn't want to play second fiddle to his brother's family, the future king
But also doesn't want to lose the respect of being treated as a prince and his wife
What a pain these two are

Even someone like me who doesn't know the details can see it looks like the situation in Re: #13
Is that mainly Meghan being like that?
Or was Harry already like that to begin with?
15AnonymousAug 27, 2026 07:21
These two aren't even a prince or a duchess anymore, are they?
Didn't they step back from the royal family?

Re: #15
No, they kept their titles, but they did step back from royal duties.

Henry cast Megante (a pun on "Meghan" and the Dragon Quest self-sacrifice spell "Megante") — text garbled in the original post

My eyes deceived me there (a slip of the eye, misread it)

They lost every lawsuit they filed, and legal fees reportedly hit something like 7.5 billion yen according to the TV show Miyaneya

Lol ("kusa"/grass — Japanese net slang for LOL)
Such a waste of money
36AnonymousAug 27, 2026 07:41
Basically all of Meghan's celebrity business ventures have flopped
Factor in their security costs and they'll probably be broke in just a few years
85AnonymousAug 27, 2026 08:07
Guess they can't survive in America's fair, competitive society, huh lol.

Re: #85
It's not exactly fair though.
Even elite universities have admission slots reserved for rich families.
92AnonymousAug 27, 2026 08:09
It's only because the royal family is too soft that it's giving them somewhere to come back to
Pull a stunt like that and normally you'd get exiled for good

Re: #92
Say what you will, but Charles clearly still dotes on his son
No telling what happens once William takes the throne though

Background and Key Points

Prince Harry lost his automatic UK police protection in 2020 after stepping back as a “working royal,” a decision he has separately challenged in court and lost — the Miyaneya-cited legal costs the thread references stem largely from that fight plus his phone-hacking litigation against British tabloids. He and Meghan relinquished royal duties in 2020’s “Megxit,” moved first to Canada, then settled in Montecito, California, where they built Meghan’s now largely stalled media and lifestyle ventures (the Spotify deal ended, Netflix output has been sparse, and her “As Ever” lifestyle brand has had a rocky start). Crucially, as the thread itself notes, Harry and Meghan retain their titles — Duke and Duchess of Sussex — even though they no longer perform royal functions; “stepping back” was never a legal stripping of rank, just a withdrawal from official duties and funding.

Where the thread actually splits is less about whether the move is welcome and more about who is driving it: one poster (25) explicitly asks whether the dysfunction described lies mainly with Meghan or was “Harry already like that,” and no consensus emerges — reactions range from mockery of Harry’s indecisiveness to grudging sympathy that Charles still supports his son regardless.

What the posts don’t mention, and what many readers may not realize, is that a full-time UK return raises immediate, concrete questions the thread never touches: whether Harry’s security arrangements (the subject of his court case) would need to be resolved before Archie and Lilibet could safely attend school locally, and that no UK outlet has confirmed enrollment at a specific school — this remains a reported intention, not settled fact.
