From the golden exile in California to the return to London: the return of the Sussexes reopens the war at court between the poisons of social media and the anger of William and Kate.
We waited quietly and quietly and in the end we were rewarded with one of those pieces of news that (perhaps) we never expected. Harry and Meghan after having disgusted The Crown, having slammed the door (and what a door!) in disdain, abandoning England for Californiaafter six years they return home. This return, which has monopolized the media, has the flavor of “going to Canossa”. After the furious «Megxit» of 2021, i Dukes of Sussex they sat in front of Oprah Winfrey to babble about how wicked the royal family had been (“I didn’t want to live anymore,” she said sadly). The Duchess even had to enter politics, yet their experience in the “American colony” was limited to a very forgettable series Netflix (even Georgina Rodriguez managed to do better), some jam and very little else. So, after having trumpeted it to the whole world (he even wrote the book Spare) of having escaped from the disgusting racism of the royal family, a den of vipers, a pack of hungry wolves as it was for Lady Diana, Meghan is already there packing her bags with the Kondo method, because at the end of August Archie and Lillibet started school in the UK.
It seems their father doesn’t mind, as long as they stay out of the picture. William and Kate instead they are furious. They thought they’d gotten rid of them forever and instead they’ll have to eat pudding with them. And knowing the subjects, the surprises won’t end there. The English media went wild over the «Surprise return», the little surprise we didn’t know we needed.
From the golden sands of Montecito to the fury of Kensington Palace
Social media did not hesitate, no red carpet: «They ran out of money and returned to the fold», «Will it be up to the subjects to support these useless capricious people?», «It’s like admitting that they have failed, that they cannot live without the monarchy», «In America no one would bother», «Buffoons: after having spit venom, now that the King is ill they return, hoping to regain their position. Opportunists without coherence or shame.” Yet the Gospel already taught it: for the “prodigal son” the father kills the fatted calf. It is difficult to imagine that they will live on the margins and be content to live (for now) in a private residence. Soon the inevitable problems will appear: the safety and the role. For The Company you work full time and hiring the ex-starlet and her underdog husband on a half-duty basis is not a conceivable possibility. They post: “But didn’t you need privacy so much?”, “What happened to the chickens and the vegetable garden?”, “Maneuvers to get closer to inheritance”, “The only woman in the world capable of transforming a prince into a frog”. There is no peace under the sun for poor Kate: she was already taking out her big red coat for an autumn of presenteeism, when she finds her detested sister-in-law underfoot. Perhaps the monarchy needs new blood. Panem et circenses has been working for centuries, so the tabloids have restarted them Hunger Games: give the people their daily hatred. And we’re sure Meghan will give it to him. By the quintal.
