Royals: Minutes 0 to 27:45 We skipped the introduction this week due to the breaking news about the Sussexes moving to the UK. Harry and Meghan are moving to England "for an extended period beginning this month" and have enrolled Archie and Lili in school there. They're not going to be returning to royal duties at all. We wonder what is driving their decision. This could be a tax or immigration issue for Harry. We've also heard that Charles may be sicker than we know.
Sources are saying that Harry and Meghan only decided in early August to move, which doesn't sound likely to us. We also wonder whether they told Charles about their plans when they visited him in July. Reports claim that Charles didn't learn about it until Sunday.
The British press had some advance stories about Harry and Meghan returning to the UK but they put such a messed up spin on it that it was hard to believe them. The Windsors have wanted Harry and Meghan to come back to the UK, but only if they could control them. They're returning in a position of power as global superstars.
In People Magazine's coverage they mentioned that Harry and Meghan are on Trump's radar and that "with the midterm elections fast approaching, concerns about the direction of the U.S. loom large for many." Harry may fear that his immigration status will become an issue if he stays in the US.
We're worried about the kids. We wonder what the school is going to be like, and whether the kids are going to be targeted by the press and paparazzi. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about this. There's another segment on our YouTube shorts this week with our Zoom group's first reaction to the news. They heard about it while they were on Zoom.
Harry and Meghan are making an informed decision. We don't know them and we don't live their lives. We're still worried about their family despite how privileged they are.
