Most of the U.K. likely thought that they had seen the last of the Sussexes. After Prince Harry lost his court appeal earlier this year it looked like he and his wife, Meghan Markle would never return to the country. But unfortunately for them, there is one rather important event neither of them can afford to miss.

We’re talking about the biannual Invictus Games of course. The international sporting competition for wounded vets was founded by Harry and so far he hasn’t missed a single one. The next one isn’t until 2027 but there’s one major problem for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, you’ve probably already guessed where this is going, but the next Invictus Game will be held in Birmingham (and yes, the one in the U.K. not the one in Alabama).

A headache for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

It seems fate has a cruel sense of humor. Just when the Sussexes thought they were done with the U.K., they get pulled back in. They’re stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. After his court defeat Harry lamented over the fact he couldn’t imagine a scenario where it would be safe for his wife and children to visit. 

So either they don’t return to the U.K. and refuse to attend arguably the most important project Harry has been a part of, or they do attend but then they are potentially put at risk without their security.

2027 marks the eighth Invictus Games ceremony and Harry and Meghan have been attending them as a couple for a long time now. The pair appeared publicly for the first time at the Toronto games in 2017, then again at the Sydney games just after their marriage in 2018. The point is they haven’t missed a single one.

Will the Sussexes attend the Birmingham games?

It’s hard to imagine them skipping out on the Invictus Games, even if they are set to be held in the U.K. next. While they may be avoiding the country after the Prince’s court loss, these games are way too important to Harry for him to not attend. A royal observer gave their two cents on the situation as the claimed “The Invictus Games have so far been unmissable for Harry and Meghan.”

As for Meghan, she’s been ive of her husband and the games so it’s likely she’ll attend, but then again, she did leave the Vancouver games early this year, so perhaps it’ll just be the Prince on his own in 2027.

Another thing that’s worth bearing in mind is that 2027 is quite a way off. Who knows how much the relationship between Harry, Meghan and the royal family will have changed by then. It’s two years away, perhaps things will have cooled down by then? Yeah, that seems like a long shot, but stranger things have happened.

Prince William may not be interested in mending his relationship with Prince Harry, but he’s still looking to make some royal alliances. It turns out the future King’s newest ally was formerly quite close with Harry and Meghan.

The Prince of Wales has reportedly formed an alliance with Princess Eugenie over their shared ion for protecting the environment. According to Hello! Magazine the two cousins are focused on marine conservation and it seems their shared ion has prompted them to form an alliance.

The two royals and their quest for the environment

Princess Eugenie, who is the daughter of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, has always been incredibly vocal when it comes to protecting the oceans. In a recent post to Instagram she reiterated the importance of the ocean, the caption reads, “The ocean is the greatest wonder of the world. Celebrating @unworldoceansday today and everyday.”

As for Prince William, he has been heavily involved in all kinds of environmental projects, just like his father, King Charles. The Prince has launched significant projects such as the Earthshot Prize, an annual awards ceremony which celebrates contributions towards environmentalism. Conservation is never far from William’s mind, most recently the Prince gave a speech on the importance of the ocean at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum while he was in Monaco.

William and Eugenie’s alliance comes amid shifts in the royal family

Until recently, Eugenie had been pretty close friends with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle but reports indicate that the relationship between the Princess and the Sussex family has somewhat fizzled out as of late. Speaking to The Sun, a royal source claimed that Harry and Meghan may have had a slight falling out with Eugenie.

“Eugenie has been ive of Harry and Meghan for years and was right there at the beginning of their relationship — but it has now soured.”

The friendship reportedly faltered after Eugenie was photographed with Piers Morgan, a figure who Meghan has notoriously clashed with quite spectacularly in the past.

Princess Eugenie has shown a great deal of loyalty to Harry and Meghan despite everything. It looked like they would also be seeing a lot more of each other after it was revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would be purchasing a property in Portugal. Her family are thought to be Harry and Meghan’s final link to the rest of the royal family so if they do grow distant then the Sussexes will be well and truly cut off from the rest of the family. 

With William and Eugenie forming an alliance it seems like Harry and his family have been pushed out of the picture. The future King has shown no interest in reconciling with his brother and this new coalition with Eugenie suggests the rest of the royal family may feel a similar way.

Years ago, Prince Harry left Royal life behind and walked out the door of the palace, leaving his family behind, to shield Meghan Markle from the curse of trolls and negative press, adamant on making her life difficult. But his efforts have been in vain. If anything, the duchess is now the subject of ridicule more than ever. But this time, is it her fault?

A few days ago, Meghan posted a video from the last few hours of her second pregnancy, where she is seen dancing with Harry. The caption of the video mentions that since Lilibet, Like Archie, was a week past her due date, and everything else didn’t work – so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture – the couple started grooving to “Baby Momma Dance Song.”

Since then, Meghan has been at the heart of a gossip storm, with trolls and haters commenting on everything from how lumpy her belly looks to how it is impossible to move the way she moved in the video when you are that heavily pregnant. As every breath the Suits star takes gives way to a conspiracy theory, there has been one around for years saying she has never been pregnant and both her pregnancies were fake. The video has evidently revived all those theories with a ferocity Meghan probably didn’t anticipate even in her wildest dreams.

And now, her friend has spoken up on the topic after witnessing the circus of “evidence” being conjured to blame Meghan. In a chat with Newsweek, Christian Bouzy, an American tech entrepreneur and Meghan’s friend (who even appeared in the Harry & Meghan docies to dismantle the hate campaign against the couple), bashed the trolls for their “full-blown harassment campaign” against the Royal couple.

“Imagine, for a moment, what it would feel like to have some of the happiest and most vulnerable moments of your life turned into ammunition for hate.

Every maternity dress and every baby video becomes ‘evidence’ for strangers obsessively trying to prove your pregnancies were a sham. It is sickening and cruel.”

What Bouzy is additionally concerned about is how this “sustained conspiracy harassment” ain’t some fluke that can be ignored. He is afraid for Meghan, who has shared about the suicidal thoughts she survived while she lived as a senior royal during her first pregnancy. “One doesn’t have to stretch to see a link between that despair and the ceaseless torrent of vilification she endured,” Bouzy said, adding, “Beyond the personal toll on Meghan and Harry, there’s a broader societal damage to consider. When conspiracy theories like these flourish, they corrode our collective grasp on reality and decency.”

So far, Meghan and Harry have not addressed the barrage of insults, accusations, and drama aimed at the video. Though they have stepped down as senior royals, their method of dealing with controversies still matches that of the Royal family – no need to comment on it unless there is no other option left.

At this point it feels like beating a dead horse when we say Prince William and Harry aren’t going to be mending the rift between them anytime soon. But it turns out William might not be entirely against the idea, he and Kate Middleton are just going to be very busy as they take on more royal responsibilities.

According to the Scottish Daily Express, royal insiders have claimed that palace staff are growing increasingly irritated with William and Kate’s insistence on doing everything their own way. The couple may well be the most popular of all the royals, but behind palace walls they are being criticized for shirking their royal duties.

Prince William and Kate are under pressure to do more

The royal couple are apparently seen as work-shy by staffers — an opinion which was shared by many even before Kate’s cancer scare back in 2024. In recent months Kate and William have put family ahead of royal duties which has earned them both praise and criticism. While putting family first is certainly irable, the future King and Queen are expected to do much more for the monarchy than they are currently doing.

Telegraph associate editor Camilla Tominey claims that aides have expressed concern that they “may be spending too much time with their immediate family instead of ing the ‘Firm’.” She goes on to say that the Prince and Princess of Wales are “under growing pressure to up their workload.”

While they have been upping their workload both are still lagging behind many other of the royal family. William has attended many royal events but in some cases his father has had to practically force him to go. He’s also received criticism for still finding the time to pursue personal endeavours.

This means reconciliation with Harry is unlikely

Surprisingly Tominey claims that William has cooled down on the subject of his brother. Harry recently spoke of reuniting with his family in the U.K. but sources suggested William and Kate were unable to move past his betrayal. She claims that the heir to the throne has had a change in attitude but that doesn’t mean he and the Duke of Sussex will be meeting in person anytime soon.

With all the pressure on Kate and William to take on more work, reuniting with Harry is reportedly “low down their list of priorities.” It seems the anger has subsided, but as you can imagine, they aren’t exactly jumping to welcome Harry back with open arms.

Unfortunately for Harry, William and Kate are content to just “let sleeping dogs lie.” With all the extra work they are likely going to be taking on the Duke will no doubt be put on the backburner. Friends insist there is still “no way back” for him.

Royal insiders have thrown criticism at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after last week’s viral video, which featured Meghan twerking while pregnant with her daughter, Lilibet. According to the insider,s the video confirms what Queen Elizabeth II always knew: that the Sussex’s “half-in, half-out” version of royalty would never work. 

The video in question was recorded back in 2021 but was only recently posted by Meghan to her Instagram. It shows the Duchess of Sussex twerking and dancing while roughly 40 weeks pregnant. The video led to a great deal of skepticism, with many wondering if the baby bump in the video was actually real or whether it was all part of a crazy conspiracy involving a fake pregnancy.

The Queen doubted Harry and Meghan

After seeing the video palace insiders expressed dismay. According to GB News one source stated, “This is exactly why Queen Elizabeth knew this whole half-in, half-out version of royalty they were lobbying for was never, ever going to work.” They went on to further criticize the couple, claiming they were always “pushing and pushing the envelope to their own professional and financial advantage.”

Another insider also brought up the late Queen Elizabeth in relation to Harry and Meghan’s plans to combine royal life with their independent business ventures. Evidently, Elizabeth had very little faith in her grandson and his wife’s potential: “Her Late Majesty was nobody’s fool and knew that the chances were, it would all end in disaster.”

Ever since the Sussexes stepped away from their royal lives, it hasn’t exactly been unicorns and rainbows. In fact, Markle has struggled to get her lifestyle brand off the ground. Meanwhile, Harry seems to have put all his attention into his recent court case, which he lost.

The video shows the contrast between the Sussexes and the royals

Prince Harry has mentioned reconciliation, particularly with his father, in the past month but it seems like the rift between the two won’t be closing any time soon. The video comes at a particularly significant time as it has supposedly reinforced King Charles’ decision to keep his distance with Harry.

The fact of the matter is, Harry and Meghan’s lifestyle is simply incompatible with royal life. The Queen knew that there would be no middle ground for the Sussexes, and it appears she was right. 

This will no doubt come as a blow to Prince Harry, who does seem to genuinely want to reconnect with his father. Unfortunately, it seems the royal family is content to keep their distance for now. Statements from sources indicate that there is not a great deal of trust for Harry and Meghan. Their public stunts can often be pretty damaging to the firm, and the video shared last week is the perfect example of that.

Meghan Markle is growing her lifestyle brand, “As Ever,” by moving into the hospitality industry. This step could have a big effect on Prince Harry’s future trips to the UK. The Duchess of Sussex is ing the name “As Ever” for “hospitality services,” which includes hotels, restaurants, short-term stays, and serving food and drinks.

According to GB News, this expansion perfectly fits the image Markle has built for herself as a lifestyle influencer, entertainer, and host, which she highlighted in her divisive Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and her recent social media posts. The trademark filing suggests Markle plans to offer more than just a place to stay.

According to The Sun, the mention of “provision of food and drink” implies she might include recipes from her Netflix cooking show, blending her brand across different areas. The “As Ever” website calls the brand “more than a brand—it’s a love language,” focusing on cooking, entertaining, and hosting. This matches what she said in her Netflix series: “When I have someone stay, one of my favorite things to do is prep the guest room,” which now seems like a hint at this new hospitality business.

Meghan Markle will keep making businesses until one sticks

Markle’s recent Instagram posts this rebranding. She has shared photos of herself jogging on a beach, spending time with family at Disneyland, beekeeping with her daughter, and going to a Beyoncé concert with Prince Harry. These pictures show a California lifestyle centered on family, relaxation, and personal happiness for the “As Ever” brand’s appeal. This is a far cry from when she was accused of copying starlets.

Even a debated video of her twerking in a hospital to encourage labor, though criticized in the UK, was well-received by younger American audiences, proving she can connect with different groups. This marketing is clearly aimed more at the U.S. than the UK, which is a key part of her strategy.

The timing of this expansion is interesting, happening at the same time as Markle’s return to social media after restarting her personal on New Year’s Day. This coordinated effort points to a clear shift away from her past as a royal and toward her new identity as an independent businesswoman. This is very different from Prince Harry’s focus on past conflicts, as branding expert Jack Izzard has pointed out. He says Markle is actively building her brand as she “reclaims her voice,” while Harry seems “stuck in the past and trying to settle scores.”

This difference matters because of Prince Harry’s tense relationship with the Royal Family and his history of choosing hotels over royal residences when visiting the UK. His past decisions to stay in hotels during trips to London suggest Markle’s hospitality business could give him a comfortable and private option for future visits. While a stay at an As Ever property might cost “several hundred dollars,” as Izzard notes, it could offer more privacy and control than dealing with royal traditions.

Izzard’s comments also highlight the business thinking behind Markle’s move. He sees it as a natural next step for her brand, positioning her as a “star hostess, Californian royalty who makes her guests feel welcome.” However, he also warns that moving from lifestyle influencer to hospitality entrepreneur comes with challenges, and the venture’s success depends on providing a top-quality experience.

Kate Middleton is standing by her husband, Prince William, by shutting out Prince Harry after what has been deemed a betrayal of trust on the young Prince’s part.

The Princess of Wales reportedly has no plans to reach out to her brother-in-law who has been estranged from the rest of the royals for many years now. An unnamed royal source informed US Weekly that Prince William and Middleton “just don’t understand why Harry doesn’t stay quiet.” The Duke of Sussex has spoken publicly about his royal relatives on numerous occasions, often not painting them in the best light.

Kate Middleton is ing her husband

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Royal expert Kinsey Schofield claimed that Middleton was standing firm with her husband. William has been “deeply hurt” by his brother’s actions according to Schofield but what has apparently hurt him most is Harry’s comments about his wife.

“But what cuts the deepest is Harry’s treatment of Catherine. She’s always loved him, always treated him like a little brother. That’s the betrayal William won’t forget… But Harry never seems to think about the consequences.”

Middleton was reportedly “saddened” by the fallout between her husband and his brother but she won’t be getting involved. This comes after Palace sources claimed that the Princess of Wales was doing everything in her power to try and broker some sort of peace between William and Harry. The sources claimed that Kate was in communication with the wayward Prince despite William making it clear that he did not want anything to do with his brother anymore.

Some observant royal fans also noted what looked to be a subtle nod to Harry last month when Kate and Camilla both wore items of clothing and accessories they had worn to Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018. The seemingly coordinated move had many convinced it was a show of from Middleton and the Queen.

What does this mean for Harry?

While most of the royal family have shut the door on the Duke of Sussex, there was a glimmer of hope that perhaps he had Kate fighting in his corner. It meant his desired reconciliation might still be possible. Now that seems like a total pipe dream as even Middleton apparently has no desire to let Harry back in. She seemingly cannot forgive him for his numerous betrayals.

Kate Middleton and Prince Harry were pretty close before everything fell apart in 2020. The two apparently “shared a fun humor and were often seen giggling together at events.” Harry has managed to turn even one of his closest friends in the royal family against him by repeatedly talking to the press. His 2023 memoir also caused a lot of hurt for William and Kate so it’s no wonder she’s standing with her husband and turning her back on Harry.

After more than ten years of waiting and several close calls, David Beckham seems to finally be ready to be given the title of knight by King Charles III. This highly expected honor announced as part of the King’s Birthday Honours list, marks the high point of a long and impressive career filled with both unmatched success in sports and a deep commitment to charity work.

Playing 115 times for the England national team further proved his impact on the sport. Beyond his skills in the field, Beckham showed a sharp business sense, forming partnerships and building brands across different industries. But Beckham’s legacy goes much further than football.

His dedication to helping others has been a constant throughout his life. As reported by The Sun and People, he has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2005, working to improve children’s lives around the world.

Then, of course, there are rumors of his rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, how they all used to be friends, but it all fell apart after the duke had accused the Beckhams of leaking stories to the press after they left the Royal family, and how they got cozy with the younger Beckhams, who are reprotedly tangled in family issues of their own with David and Victoria Beckham. Amid all this drama, news of Charles bringing David onto his side has only hyped up the rumors and hinted that the footballer is only getting the “royal” treatment since he is now at odds with his former buddy.

Does David Beckham deserve the honor?

Beckham’s future title, Sir David Beckham, is a personal achievement and a recognition of his important role in British society and his lasting positive influence. Beckham’s football career lasted eighteen years, during which he played in four countries: England, Spain, the United States, and . His time at Manchester United, especially his famous goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon and his part in their historic 1999 treble-winning season, made him a true legend.

His efforts with the charity include setting up the 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund, showing his long-term for their mission. More recently, he became an ambassador for the King’s Foundation, helping their work in building sustainable communities and creating opportunities for young people. This role also lets him combine his personal interest in gardening with the Foundation’s programs teaching rural skills.

This knighthood would come after years of nominations and unexpected delays. Beckham was first considered for the honor in 2011, thanks to his key role in securing the 2012 Olympics bid. However, reports suggest his application was held back because of his involvement in a tax avoidance plan, something many well-known figures faced at the time. This delay, along with other near misses, like being overlooked in the 2022 New Year Honours, only increased the public’s interest in when he would finally receive the title.

The knighthood also arrives at a time when the Beckham family seems to be in a better place after reports of past disagreements. The news is likely a happy moment for the family, especially after recent tensions with their oldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife, Nicola Peltz. His dedication to helping others has been a constant throughout his life, exemplified by his and Victoria’s $1 million donation to UNICEF to Ukrainian children amid the ongoing crisis.

A recent video shared by Meghan Markle celebrating her daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday has got royal conspiracy theorists talking. The clip, which was supposedly recorded while Meghan was pregnant with Lilibet, shows the Duchess twerking and lip-syncing to the Baby Mama Dance.

Markle shared the clip to her Instagram on Wednesday. It featured her and Harry dancing in what appears to be a hospital room. While some Sussex haters have labeled the video as “cringe,” others have taken it a step further by claiming that the baby bump was fake. Some even suggested that the entire video had been faked in some way.

Why are people saying Meghan Markle’s pregnancy video is fake?

Insane and frankly cruel speculation online centered around the fact that Meghan appeared to be far too mobile and agile in the clip. At this point she was very close to giving birth, in fact, the caption suggests that this video was recorded after Lilibet’s initial due date.

“Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!”

She is clearly quite heavily pregnant and many claimed that she wouldn’t be able to twerk or move the way she does in the video if the pregnancy was real. While it’s true, most women would not want to be throwing it back while 40 weeks pregnant.

Some also suggested that they thought the bump looked fake while others claimed that the entire video was AI. This all leans into a wider conspiracy that Meghan was never really pregnant which has been discussed numerous times in the past on sites like Reddit. The theorists claim that her two children were supposedly delivered by surrogate mothers while she wore a prosthetic baby bump known as a “moonbump.”

Nobody has any proof to back up these claims of course, it’s all just wild speculation based on nothing much at all. People are looking too deep into things again which is sort of par for the course when it comes to the royal family.

Is the pregnancy video fake?

While it’s not entirely outside the realms of possibility, there isn’t really any evidence that confirms this to be the case. Plenty of Sussex defenders online have come out in defense of the video and debunked many of the haters’ claims.

X , @stilldrereacts went through and debunked many of the major claims such as the bump looking fake, people have different body types, a baby bump will look different person to person. He also pointed out the bump likely looked different due to a fetal heart monitor being attached to keep track of the baby’s heartbeat. As for being able to dance while so heavily pregnant, once again, not all bodies are the same, just because some people would struggle to move like that at 40 weeks doesn’t mean everyone would!

Prince William made a few unexpected jokes alluding to the relationship between him and his brother, Prince Harry, this week during a visit to the Army Air Corps (AAC). 

Up until now William has remained relatively tight-lipped about his brother and the rift that has grown between them. In fact, palace sources have claimed that the future King doesn’t even like Harry’s name being mentioned around him. William likely won’t ever directly address the ongoing situation. But apparently he will make jokes about it.

William talks about seeing loved ones

While talking to soldiers as their Colonel-In-Chief the Prince asked the pace of life at the base in Wattisham, Suffolk. According to an article from the Telegraph, it was then he asked about how often they saw loved ones quipping, “some of them might not want to see you that much.” He told the soldiers “it’s a mixed bag.”

A mixed bag indeed, William would know all about this. His seems like a rather discreet acknowledgment of the relationship between William and Harry. The two brothers have hardly spoken to each other since the Duke of Sussex decided to step down from his royal duties and move to the U.S. back in 2020. Their relationship has only deteriorated more with every interview and public statement Harry makes about the royal family.

The last time William and Harry were pictured together was in September 2022 in which the brothers seemed to put on a united front for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. Since then they have not made much of an effort to keep in . 

Reconciliation seems unlikely for the two princes

Although Prince Harry recently expressed his desire for reconciliation with his family across the pond in a recent interview, it doesn’t look like William is all that bothered. Royal insiders have claimed that William is unable to forgive his brother for the interviews and memoirs he published in 2023.

However, other insiders have claimed that Kate Middleton is sympathetic towards Harry and wants to see the royal family united once more. Sources reported that she has been speaking with the wayward Prince despite William urging her not to. Could Kate possibly help the brothers somewhat mend the rift that’s opened up between them?

Whether the two princes make up or not, William’s statement at the air force base in Wattisham seems to be the first time he’s even alluded to the feud between him and his brother. Does his joke regarding the matter suggest his stance is softening somewhat? Or was it even an intentional dig in the first place? Either way, it’s unlikely we’ll see William change his opinions about his brother anytime soon.

Last week there was a glimmer of hope that the royal rift was shrinking. Now it seems things are worse than ever after Prince Harry has reportedly been looking into changing his family name, something which would have apparently upset King Charles.

Harry has allegedly considered changing his family name to “Spencer” which was his mother Princess Diana’s name. According to an article from GBNews, the Prince previously sought to drop his current family name, Mountbatten-Windsor, in order to replace it with something that would honor his late mother.

Harry reportedly broached the topic with his uncle, Earl Charles Spencer, during a trip to the U.K. It’s said that his uncle advised against the idea, citing the near impossible amount of legal obstacles the prince would have to overcome in order to make the change. If he had gone ahead with the change then it would have seen Harry, Meghan, and their two children Archie and Lilibet change their names too.

Harry’s query will likely have hurt King Charles

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams claims that the king would no doubt have found it “deeply hurtful” that his son considered changing the name he got from his father. Considering how tense things are between the family right now it’s probably quite difficult not to take it personally and it seems like a direct attempt from Harry to cut off Charles. 

“Someone’s family name is a pivotal and public link to the other family ,” Fitzwilliam points out. Dropping the royal name would have sent a clear message that the Prince wants nothing to do with his family across the pond anymore. 

“The King will be appalled that his youngest son has considered such a drastic step,” Fitzwilliams continues. The name Mountbatten-Windsor is apparently cherished by Charles as it is a great part of the royal family’s history. The name combines the royal family name of Windsor with the adopted surname of Prince Philip.

Has Harry changed his tune?

Recently the Prince has spoken of reconciliation between him and his father along with the rest of the royals. That would certainly indicate that he no longer feels as strongly about cutting off his family in the U.K. but his father might find it a little hard to move past the fact that Harry was so close to erasing his own family history by changing his name. The only thing that stopped him were the legal obstacles.

So will this news further divide the King and Prince who have been distant for so long? Or will Charles be able to move past this latest betrayal and finally forgive his son? Only time will tell.

The peaceful picture of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle adjusting to their life in Montecito is being questioned by conflicting stories about how well they are fitting into the community. While some neighbors compliment their charity work and friendly attitude, a local journalist describes a different situation, pointing out a noticeable difference in how the couple interacts with those around them.

As found by Express, a Montecito journalist claims that Meghan Markle keeps a very quiet presence and is seldom seen taking part in local activities. This journalist suggests that she carefully manages her public image, focusing more on appearances and statements than on real connections with the community.

He mentions that she does not attend local events or show much involvement in neighborhood happenings, which he contrasts with her husband, who seems more engaged. The journalist points to a specific example to illustrate this perceived detachment. He says an older local historian tried to give Meghan a documentary about the area’s history but could not get past the gates of their property.

Meghan and Harry’s neighborhood life may not be as good as it seems

The journalist sees this as a sign of Meghan’s lack of openness and engagement. This adds to a growing feeling that the couple is distant from their neighbors, creating an impression of coldness that overshadows their charitable work.

The journalist neighbor said there was a clear difference between how Meghan and Harry interact with the public. While Meghan stays mostly out of sight and seems disconnected from community life, Prince Harry is said to be much more visible and friendly. He has often been seen in local businesses, chatting with neighbors and showing a warm and welcoming attitude. This contrast in behavior has led the journalist to believe that Harry feels more comfortable and at home in Montecito than his wife does.

The journalist described Harry as keeping his down-to-earth personality, often seen casually talking to residents, biking in the hills, or simply enjoying what the area has to offer. This noticeable difference in the couple’s public behavior adds to the idea that the Duchess is not fully connected to her new community.

The journalist said, “He is always charming, approachable, with that very recognisable Windsor accent. He smiles, shakes hands, willingly exchanges a few words. We’ve seen him at the beach, in an organic coffee shop, or cycling in the hills.” This matches the description many have made of the prince.

“Harry has kept his good-natured side. We feel that he is more at ease here, even with his personal struggles… Meghan, on the other hand, is practically invisible. She’s there, of course, but she shows herself very little. Her relationship with Montecito is distant, shall we say.”

Not everyone shares these negative views. Other neighbors gave a much more favorable impression of the Sussexes’ involvement in the neighborhood. For example, a well-known actress has spoken positively about the couple, praising their active role in charity work and their efforts to become part of the community. This describes them as helpful and engaged neighbors, which is very different from the journalist’s portrayal of Meghan as distant and unapproachable.

The house they live in this neighborhood is the same one Meghan refused to shoot With Love, Meghan in. Meghan may be trying to keep her neighborhood normal, including using the Sussex name.

The actress even shared a personal story where she saw the couple warmly greeting a neighbor, ing the idea that they are friendly and involved. The disagreement between these s suggests there may be a gap between how the couple wants to be seen and how some residents actually view them.
