Meghan\u2019s game plan to Harry was, \u201cMy financial acumen and contacts in Hollywood will turn us into a billionaire power couple.\u201d That was appealing to the chip on Harry\u2019s shoulder \u2013 his jealousy of his brother made him go along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018But it\u2019s backfired, because the public don\u2019t like the game they\u2019re playing. Do people seriously think that a family who\u2019s been subjected to such abuse and vicious lies is going to forgive and&nbsp;forget?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also been reported that Meghan may make a return to acting. Last week, rumours swirled that the former Suits star could appear in series three of the&nbsp;Guy Ritchie-penned drama The Gentlemen \u2013 something Netflix bosses neither confirmed nor denied.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Lady C continues, \u2018Meghan is the biggest fame junkie I\u2019ve ever seen \u2013 she\u2019ll be feasting on the daily attention.\u00a0Meghan and Harry\u2019s aim has always been money and attention. They moved to America with Meghan\u2019s promise to make them richer, more powerful and more popular than William and Catherine. That was her promise to Harry \u2013 and, as we know, it\u2019s unfufilled.\u2019<br><br>Meanwhile, as Meghan and Harry settle back into UK life, sources have revealed how the shock move has already been tough for them, with the Duchess of Sussex, in particular, struggling to readjust to life in the UK for the first time since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1758\" src=\"https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1071507540-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1071507540-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1071507540-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1071507540-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1071507540-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1071507540-1536x1055.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1071507540-2048x1406.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lady C claims Meghan is just a &#8216;fame junkie&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Those close to the couple are concerned and worry that this could be the worst move Harry has ever made,\u2019 an insider says. \u2018This isn\u2019t a fairy-tale, it\u2019s real life. Meghan\u2019s already got her back up. But Harry wants this. His focus is all about the children, getting them enrolled back into the royal fold and allowing them to grow up with family around them.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They add, \u2018This is a terribly tense time \u2013 a total uprooting like this is up there with divorce and bereavement as one of life\u2019s most stressful experiences. It could be the beginning of the end if Meghan\u2019s not willing to toe the&nbsp;line.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sussexes, with their children Archie and Lilibet and beloved dogs Mia and Pula, landed back on British shores last week, touching down in Birmingham on a private jet costing \u00a388,377 last week. It\u2019s thought they will stay in a non-royal residence in the Cotswolds, living as non-working royals during their \u2018extended stay\u2019 in the UK. Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, will start school this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their unexpected return came a month after a previous UK visit, during which they reunited with King Charles \u2013 who reportedly met his grandchildren for the first time in more than four years. It\u2019s a shock U-turn after years of saying they hated living in the UK, with Meghan previously revealing that she felt \u2018suicidal\u2019 while living within the royal family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1705\" src=\"https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2290652197-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2290652197-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2290652197-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2290652197-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2290652197-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2290652197-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-2290652197-2048x1364.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harry and Meghan recently visited Althorp, the family home of his mother Diana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following reports that they were meant to stay at the Spencers\u2019 ancestral estate, Althorp, where they spent time with Harry\u2019s uncle, Earl Spencer, during their July visit, it\u2019s thought that the Sussexes \u2013 who will keep their \u00a311million Californian farmhouse and Portuguese bolthole \u2013 could also be house-hunting in the Northampton area so they can remain close to Diana\u2019s side of the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having previously caused controversy over her alleged \u2018diva demands\u2019, which reportedly included fresh flowers and \u2018angry emails at 5am to employees\u2019 and were said to have led to staff quitting, the Duchess of Sussex, 45, was accused of bullying by palace aides, which she denied. It sparked an investigation, but the results were never revealed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insider says that the former Suits actress is already making fresh demands and has laid down some ground rules for her husband of eight years about their new lifestyle and home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Harry must abide by her rules. Firstly, he\u2019s not to leave her for any length of time or go gallivanting for more than a few nights. He\u2019s desperately missed that lifestyle \u2013 skiing, shooting weekends and polo with his pals \u2013 but Meghan doesn\u2019t want him going on long trips, so she\u2019s insistent they entertain at their new house,\u2019 the source explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018She also wouldn\u2019t compromise on the house. She wants it to be as good as, if not better than, a royal residence.
