Harry and Meghan have announced that they're returning—by the end of this month—with their children (who have been registered into school) to the UK: Harry and Meghan Plan Move Back to Britain.

Royal sources tell me that they're working on a new movie: The Uselessy.

Its hero, Uselessess, returns from exile abroad, and wanders around knocking on doors in Fulham, looking for his old friends and wondering why none of them, nor any of his closest relatives, drop in to see him anymore (bit of a rip-off of the Hugh Grant character in Love Actually, methinks), while his wife, Megnelope, putters around—night after night—alone in the kitchen, making pot after pot of jam, never quite getting the recipe right, or finishing, or getting her enterprise off the ground, as she waits for the phone call from Love Productions, offering her the next spot as the lead judge on "The Great British Bake Off." (Hope Martha Stewart doesn't get to them first.)

It starts out as a tragedy, and ends up a farce. Or perhaps it's the other way round....

    How can one screw up being a Prince so easily? Harry at one time seemed to be almost normal. Must be the ball-and-chain.

    I had never actually seen any of that interview. Now that I've seen 44 seconds of it I need to find some anti-nausea meds.

    Not the Ball and Chain. Read his book The Spare - it's a major eye-opener to everything, his youth, how the monarchy works, his mother's death, even how Charles was raised and while the queen was still alive, how the family behaved. It goes into his military service, so many things. Leading up to their courtship and wedding, the book is well worth reading.

    I think the meeting with his dad last month did something to convince them to return - maybe to solidify the family legacy and their place in history going forward? I think there's a lot we don't know and won't know. The book is excellent and very revealing, and he makes no apologies.

    While this post is funny, I think they are (after the scandals and Epstein), calling the chickens back home - for reasons unknown (at this point). Or.....it's possible LA has just gotten too crappy!

    Getting them out of the US, even if it is just California, will be regarded as one of the high points of Trump’s second term.
