On Aug. 19, 2026, Prince Harry participated in a public wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery
Office of Army Cemeteries and Army National Military Cemeteries Executive Director Karen Durham-Aguilera hosted the visit.
The gasp I just gasped...this needs to be discussed.
The news that they are moving back to England is upsetting. I was happy that they were far away from the whispers of the courtiers. Even though they were in America, they have still been harassed and ridiculed by the British press and a cottage industry of YouTube/tiktok grifters capturing views from people invested in hating Meghan.
I can’t believe it’s been so long and haters are still hanging on her every word and examining every image. They don’t question how long they’ve been a force of negativity, they just continue to do.
And that’s a greater fear: The internet has legitimized unhappy groups of people bound by time consuming celebrity obsession. I’m not talking about people who watch celebrity trials, but people watching content made to validate their hate obsession with a particular celebrity.
When will be free from this? When we evolve to say “I don’t agree with a person, I’m directing my energies elsewhere”?
Also upset that there are people preying on the mentally ill to keep hate content going and profitable.
So I have a feeling that H&M + family's moving news was leaked by the BRF, bcs news outlets have put out this info before H&M have even made an announcement on it.
While I am happy that they are getting closer to the family and they are free to do whatever they want, I also wish that there would be no fears for their safety and wellness. I feel like after Jason Arday the media is looking for it's next target to divert people's minds. What do you guys think?
And when a newspaper insists that its staff are the ones being unfairly attacked, while the man at the centre of the story died under the weight of scrutiny it helped amplify, it’s entirely legitimate to question the ethics of that newsroom.
The Guardian’s editorial acknowledges that “proper scrutiny can widen into something more encompassing,” especially when race shapes the meaning attached to alleged failings. Yet the paper still treated the Telegraph’s framing as neutral fact. It still widened the coverage to include Jason’s personal life. It contributed to the atmosphere in which a Black academic, already cleared of plagiarism, was subjected to a level of public shaming that white academics simply do not face.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Prince Harry urged communities to better apply service members’ skills when they return to the workforce during an intimate gathering with U.S. veterans Wednesday night.
“The world needs more heroes,” he told the roundtable. “And it’s not about creating more heroes because they already live among us. It’s about being able to really value their expertise, their experiences.”
The Duke of Sussex, who served 10 years in the British Army, hinted that he’d soon launch a “commercial” solution that “really values those who served rather than expect them to volunteer.”
He held the discussion with veterans, defense officials, military spouses and nonprofit leaders at a hotel ballroom in Washington, D.C. The conversation — which was organized by The Independence Fund, a nonprofit that helps critically wounded service members — lasted more than 80 minutes.
Veterans’ services and mental health have become cornerstones of Harry and his wife Meghan’s philanthropy through their Archewell Foundation. The Duke of Sussex founded the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style international competition for wounded service members, in 2014. His advocacy also includes visits with wounded military personnel, like last year’s stop at a Ukrainian clinic that rehabilitates victims of war.
Harry’s British military service included two tours in Afghanistan. He has credited his experience witnessing fellow soldiers’ battlefield injuries with inspiring him to help injured veterans lead healthy lives. In a 2023 Netflix series, he spoke openly about lacking the necessary emotional support upon his return from combat.
Harry told the roundtable that it has been refreshing to hear the latest generation of veterans express an interest in “purpose” and “service after service” —- no matter their branch or country of service. He extolled their communication skills, moral leadership and ability to work in high stress environments.
But, he said in an interview with The Associated Press, that those skills are “not being transitioned over within the civilian world.”
In between jokes about each other’s hair and their alma maters, wounded veterans emphasized the importance of exercise in their rehabilitation. Garrett J. Carnes, a retired marine corporal who lost both legs, said inactivity is difficult when they’ve spent so long priding themselves on their physical fitness. “I give all glory to Jesus Christ,” he said, “but man I am so thankful that he invented Jiu-Jitsu.”
Others highlighted the need to improve the quality of veterans’ health centers in smaller towns and bolster mental health services at overworked Veterans Affairs offices.
Jason Wheeler, a U.S. Navy and Army veteran, said it’s “not right” that he was unable to get his military benefits to cover a recent surgery. Sitting in a wheelchair, he teared up as he recalled the “humiliating” time he had to crawl off a commercial airplane with his service dog.
He was told he would never walk again, he said, but has since walked over 1,000 feet.
“I will not stop the fight. I will not quit,” he said. “We don’t have it in us.”
Harry’s earlier stops Wednesday included Arlington National Cemetery, where he laid a wreath, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He did not mention reports of his decision to return to the United Kingdom for an extended stay with Meghan and their children. He declined to comment when asked to discuss the move.
Sarah Verardo, the CEO of The Independence Fund, noted Harry’s impact on the patients at Walter Reed. A few veterans who told Harry they were too injured to participate in his Invictus Games left their interactions standing “taller and stronger” after he told them there’s “no such thing,” according to Verardo.
Jane Horton, a senior defense adviser in the Trump administration and Gold Star wife, appreciated that Harry is using his platform to unite veterans.
“To see someone that has turned pain into purpose in such a beautiful way such as Prince Harry — not only turn pain into purpose, but pain into service — resonated with the whole community and means a lot to us all,” she told AP.
In an interview with AP, Harry spoke more broadly about the need to elevate “moral leadership.” He expressed concern that a “very, very small group of people are making decisions that are impacting the entire world” around politics and technology.
What we need,” he said, “is the younger generation coming into leadership who perhaps see the world slightly differently. And I think a little less testosterone might do as well.”

There is a pattern in British media coverage that becomes harder to ignore the more you look at it. When certain public figures face intense scrutiny, their welfare becomes part of the conversation. The press and broadcasters pause, express concern and debate whether the coverage has gone too far. For others, that same moment never arrives.
The cases are not identical. The allegations are different. But the contrast in how vulnerability is treated raises an uncomfortable question: when does the British media decide enough is enough?
>If the Duchess of Sussex wants to win over Hollywood, she must show earnest ‘vulnerability’ and stray away from ‘practised and managed’ content, a branding expert has claimed. Despite being one of the most famous women in the world, a Netflix lifestyle show in her roster, a start on an successful legal drama – and even an Emmy nomination – Meghan’s latest on-screen project, a documentary about Girl Scout cookies, received a half-baked reception.
>From unimpressed critics saying Cookie Queens was ‘staged as it is sweet’ – while a Variety reviewer found it to be ‘too much of a reality-show ramble’ – the film, made by Archewell Productions, reportedly generated just £500 per cinema screening.
>Speaking to the Daily Mail, PR professional Rebecca May said that ‘Meghan doesn’t have a visibility problem… but she does have a perception problem.’
>Inevitably embroiled in memories of ‘Megxit’ and her husband Prince Harry’s ‘feud’ with the King and Prince of Wales, it’s ‘affected her brand’ in the industry.
>‘If you are trying to build something wholesome, warm and aspirational, but there is still so much noise and division around your personal brand, it is difficult for people to separate the two,’ Rebecca explained. ‘Hollywood is used to dealing with high-profile personalities, but there comes a point where too much noise around someone becomes a brand risk. You don’t want the person attached to a project constantly becoming a bigger story than the project itself. This can run the risk of the person becoming the story and the project losing control of its own narrative.’
>While the Duchess isn’t expected to share everything, the expert said ‘controlling the narrative too tightly can work against her’.
>‘I don’t think it is necessarily just an authenticity issue either. Meghan could have very real reasons that we don’t publicly know about for the estrangement from her father, for instance,’ Rebecca added. ‘But from a reputation point of view, it has become an elephant in the room. There needs to be some vulnerability and something that feels less practised and managed. You can still protect your privacy without everything feeling so controlled. From a brand and PR perspective, the difficulty today is converting the huge level of interest in her and her life into genuine interest in the projects she is trying to build. That, for me, is why Hollywood has been difficult to crack. The person continually risks becoming bigger than the product itself, and the project simply gets overshadowed.’
Harry and Meghan are the executive Proudcers of Cookie Queen, yet the Uk media is going after Meghan for the documentary and this isnt racism??
This is same media that keeps attacking Meghan when she talked about been suicidal and bullied. Meghan was attacked for talking about not been okay in South Africa, attacked for talking about her suicidal ideation in Oprah interview, attacked for talking about the been the most bullied woman in Australia, attacked for turning off her comment section on her personal Instagram and her business page As Ever.
This UK media keep hounding Meghan, they want to her off her self like they did to Jason Arday. Meghan has been gone from the UK years, doesnt live in the UK yet 24/7 Meghan has been attacked relentlessly. Meghan cant defend herself and then when her friend defend her the UK media still has a problem. Meghan is been hounded to death.
>King Charles has warned Prince Harry their recent reunion was the Duke’s last chance to prove himself with the Royal Family – with a source saying “if they put a foot wrong again, that’s it.”
>The Duke of Sussex brought his wife Meghan Markle and their two children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, to Britain for the first time in four years, but the trip was overshadowed by several setbacks.
>A close source has revealed the monarch issued his youngest son with an ultimatum during his trip to the UK earlier this month. It’s understood Charles was “very pleased” to see his grandchildren, but made it clear his son and daughter-in-law were on thin ice.
>“[He said] this is their absolute last chance,” a source told Closer. “If they put a foot wrong again, that’s it.”
>“From now on, things happen on his terms, or not at all,” the source continued. “Harry’s been told he needs to take a back seat and trust his father to handle things his way, in his timing, even if it’s slower than he and Meghan would like.”
>It comes after a royal expert revealed the three letters that are at the heart of “reignited tension” between Harry and his brother William. Relations between the once extremely close brothers have become increasingly strained since Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in 2020, but tensions have heightened considerably after the Duchess used the term “HRH” in a commercial capacity earlier this year.
>The initials, which stand for His/Her Royal Highness, are used by senior working royals and the Duke and Duchess agreed not to use the term in 2020 as part of the official Sandringham agreement negotiated between the late Queen Elizabeth II, then-Prince Charles and the Sussexes. Earlier this year, businesswoman and close friend of Meghan, Jamie Kern Lima, shared a photo on Instagram of a gift basket from the Duchess. The tag attached to the gift was signed from “HRH The Duchess of Sussex”.
>Speaking to French outlet Paris Match, royal expert Stéphane Bern claimed the use of this term, in particular, has deepened the rift between Harry and William.
>“These three letters have reignited tensions at the very heart of the monarchy,” he said. Sources close to William said the Prince was left “deeply frustrated” by the move.
from skynews,
Yeah its all bullshit, sounds like its from William
>The word is that Prince Harry is planning to make more frequent trips back to the UK. He wants more of a foothold here and less drama. It’s a novel idea because Harry and drama have walked hand in hand for the past few years. Much of that has been of his own making, but next year is going to be a flashpoint because it will be the 30th anniversary of the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. All eyes will be on two warring brothers.
>Will William and Harry finally stand side by side at such a poignant memorial event – several are expected to be organised by charity The Diana Award – or will their bitter estrangement continue? Either scenario will be a drama.
>…Apart from these occasional outbursts, it does seem to me that Harry is now a man with his eyes focused firmly forward. Perhaps he has laid his demons to rest by shouting about his grievances so publicly and relentlessly. But can he now really expect the family he lambasted so brutally to forgive and forget? It’s a big ask.
>The monumental task ahead for him is to regain the trust of his father and brother. So far, he has honoured his side of the pact to say nothing about his recent visit to King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove. That will have given some encouragement to Charles and his advisers.
>Despite his ongoing campaign to be given the security he believes he merits, the Prince has found a way to bring his family to the UK and show his children something of their heritage. Next year he will undoubtedly want to bring them to one of his most cherished causes, the Invictus Games.
>If we do start seeing him at more charity events over here, as well as conducting his now quite regular visits to Ukraine, perhaps you could argue that he has achieved what he asked for in the first place. Not quite half in and half out – but a way of doing traditional royal engagements even though he’s not part of “the firm”. It’s something I think he and Meghan should have been allowed to do in the first place. But the late Queen Elizabeth II was implacable. As a result the monarchy lost two people who could have helped forge important links between the Crown and Britain’s diverse communities. And William lost his brother.
>What a tribute it would be to Diana if her sons could finally be reconciled on the anniversary of her untimely death. But if Harry’s fire has been quelled, the anger smouldering inside William – who is known to be a stubborn character – could be much harder to extinguish. He feels betrayed by the brother who sold the family secrets – or at least Harry’s version of them — and now wants to be allowed back into the fold. If any truce is to be called, it will be William who does the calling.
From Ipaper,
The recent reports that they talking is from Roya Nikkah who wrote an article that Harry plans to visit the UK more after his meeting charles from her sources. Except its not breaking new information that Harry visit the UK every year.
Harry has always visited the UK for Well Child, Scottylittle Soldiers that is now Scotty Bereavement charity( amazing how roya nikkah source didnt note this different in name change despite claiming its from Harry sources) and Invictus Foundation. Yet Roya is acting like Harry meeting with Charles is somehow the catalyst for Harry visiting the UK.
How is it news Harry visit Ukraine?? He has done it like twice and plus his work with Halor Trust.
This is not half in half out, Harry already left being a working royal since 2020 what is not sticking in this dummies brain??
Why is it Harry and Meghan job to forge links between the crown and poc communities?? This rota realize saying this yet treating Meghan with Misogynoir and blaming Harry for standing up for his biracial wife says how they feel about other black folks
I received my As Ever order and I am disappointed. I ordered the Berry Medley Trio in the fancy box. When it arrived the box was damaged and inside were 3 Blackberry Spreads instead of the Berry Medley. I wrote an email to As Ever as directed in the FAQs explaining what happened. Does anyone know if they respond to emails? Will they make it right for me?
So yeah contrary to rota and derangers lies about Meghan doing the narration for Disney Elephant documentary, it was in the works since 2016 and not the lie that Harry asked Disney for getting Meghan a job during Lion King Premier in the UK
Here is even the charity Vanessa and Mark talking about how Meghan became involved
From the documentary ‘The Me You Can’t See’ on Apple TV.
I think we need to revisit this after the tragic news about Jason Arday
I don’t know if this post will be allowed but if it is, I want to first of say RIP to Professor Arday. Regardless of how people felt about this entire debacle, he is a human being and a father.
The British media has been complicit in protecting pedophiles but the way they came after Jason for alleged plagiarism is beyond comprehension.
Many people are now pointing out that this is what they, and by “they” I mean the royal rota rats in the British press and social medial personalities/ trolls wanted for Meghan.
I remember Piers Morgan calling Meghan a liar when the news about Meghan’s mental health struggles came out.
But this is the outcome that they wanted for Meghan. And if not this then for Harry to divorce and disgrace her. And I think they wouldn’t have succeeded had Harry, Meghan and Archie not left for America.

When the palce released the statement some of us thought it would be about deleting the racist comments on the royals social media pages nope, instead they deleted comments about William affair including comments that lefta rose 🌹
Also BP was deleting comment about Camila not favorable to her but yet when Meghan asked about the misogynoir comments instead the Palace told her they couldn't
It was when KP had Hello Magazine then turn around try to center Kate instead about the abuse Meghan got
So the same UK media had nothing from their inside source about Harry and Meghan attending David Foster foundation, then decided to conjure up that David snub Meghan at his event.
They took a selected clips to claim avid was mad and snubbed Meghan at his event, they couldn't find anything else to attack than manufacture outrage at Meghan.
David gave a statement to People magazine that they are his friends and there is no snub, these media sycophants are deranged, its always Meghan they go after.
A documentary about Girl Scouts selling cookies has become the latest target of the British press. The film, executive produced by Meghan Sussex and Prince Harry through Archewell Productions, debuted to mixed-to-positive reviews and modest theatrical numbers. In response, several UK outlets declared it a “humiliation” and a “flop.”
What the headlines do not mention is that this is an independent documentary, not a studio blockbuster. What they also omit is that the same film won awards and received positive notices from critics who actually watched it.
Positive Reviews Undercut the ‘Crushing’ Criticism The film has received favourable coverage from several outlets. Martin’s Musings described it as “a charming new documentary” that takes the annual Girl Scout cookie ritual and turns it into “a surprisingly engaging story.” The review praised the film’s warmth and called it “an encouraging message” about the next generation. It gave the film a B+.
The Boston Herald noted the film’s “depth, humor and determination,” with director Alysa Nahmias explaining she wanted to explore how girls are seen by society, how they learn about their value and what it means to come of age in today’s economy. The New York Times called the film “terrifically entertaining,” praising its subjects as “fun to watch” and noting that the film is “a slice-of-life documentary about something so many Americans have experienced.” The review described it as “delightful viewing.”
