Prince Harry and Megan: Camilla Tominey EXPOSES big ‘gamble’ on bombshell move to UK

Harry and Meghan are set to return to the UK six years after leaving these shores for the United States. I bet you can't wait. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move in back to Britain at the end of August. We don't know where they're going to live, but it's reportedly outside of London. Their children, Arch and Lilibet, who are both titled, both prince and princesses, will attend schools from September. And it's understood that the King was only made aware of the new move on Sunday. But what does the public think? Let's take a listen. They trashed the whole country numerous times, betrayed their family, betrayed his king, his father, went off to America and now they're bored and now they want to come back. He's just truly British at the end of the day and he just misses home, but I don't know, it's very odd. It's all been a complete surprise to us, hasn't it? And it doesn't fill me with joy, it doesn't fill me with sadness. I'm fairly neutral about it. Surprised, but on the other hand, I can kind of see for him, probably feels a bit cast aside. So he's come back and I guess the guy lost his mother, so cut him a break sort of thing. Different views there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I wonder what Camilla Tomley makes of it all, because she's been reporting on the royal family for many, many years at the Daily Telegraph and before that, the Sunday Express. And of course, Camilla broke the story about Harry's relationship with Meghan in the first place. And she joins us now. Camilla, were you as surprised as everybody else by this? It's a marmalade dropper, isn't it? Or a jam dropper, as I should say, to reference Meghan's Montecito endeavours. I mean, initially I was shocked. And then when I thought about it, I thought, am I actually all that surprised? I think when Prince Harry was over for the court case, he sort of hinted at a degree of longing for his homeland. I think as well, we need to be mindful of the fact that he remains in the line of succession. Although they can't use their titles, their children, as you just pointed out, Andrew, are a prince and princess. And therefore, where would you want to bring them up if you wanted them to be close to their royal roots? And if that had relevance for you moving forward in your kind of quest to have some kind of pseudo-royal charitable role and commercialise? I mean, when I've given it some thought last night, and I've written a piece for The Telegraph, which is running on the website today. In a way, isn't this them getting what they always wanted, which is this kind of half in, half out hybrid role? They'll come back to Britain. They're not going to be living in a royal residence, right? So they live independently and privately, yet they still have the cachet of being royals and they can commercialise and make money. I mean, my piece is a bit cynical, as is always the case, because I kind of cast a gimlet eye over them. Obviously, Harry and Meghan colon The Return is good fodder for another docuseries, right? So if you're going to monetise on the back of what you do with your life, be it your royal role or jam making or repositioning yourself in Meghan's case as the next sort of Martha Stewart, they've done that in Montecito. If there's a new chapter in the UK, then they will attract a following for that, whether people like them or loathe them. Can you see the next? Is this the next Netflix documentary, Camilla? Well, I don't know if it's Netflix or it's anyone else, but this is the funny thing about them, right? OK, there are there are two different camps. They are like Marmite. Some people do love them. Some people do hate them. For those that don't like them, they're going to be turned off by this. They're not going to turn out of their events and all the rest of it. But they do have a caucus of support. When they came over and did the Invictus pre-event, you know, there were people there cheering them on in their own world. They are popular among their own people. If they can continue to leverage that popularity with a certain section of the public in order to make more commercial gain, then they're going to do it. And equally, you know, where would you come if you need to do some, as I've put it, line of succession math? You come to the land of tea and ermine, you come to the land where royalty was made over the course of the last millennia. Right. And you come back to somewhere which, let's be honest, has got a great education system for their children. This was the telling thing with my colleague Victoria Ward's scoop here at The Telegraph is that this enrolling into schools for September, this is not an extended holiday. This is serious stuff, right? They're not doing this by halves. Yes, they're keeping the Montecito mansion. Yes, they've got a property in Portugal as well. I mean, great. Nice work if you can get it. But clearly they want to reposition themselves here. And as I've written, the gamble really is bigger for Megan than for Harry. Yeah, isn't it? Yeah. It is in itself because people were sitting in Windsor in 2018 saying, oh, I'll give it a year. I mean, she is channeling her inner Tammy Wynette here. She's standing by her man who may or may not have been homesick in America and has come back with him. I mean, the whole thing's remarkable. Well, Camilla, we are going to have to leave it there. But well done on your scoop, led the headlines this morning. And I read your piece today, Camilla, a terrific piece. And I'm sure this will be featuring on your programme on Sunday. It will. It will run and run, as they say. It certainly will, Camilla. Using the Internet without a VPN, a virtual private network, is a bit like taking to the road without car insurance.

What's gone wrong with America? Is their marriage in trouble? Is it make or break? Who knows? I just think they missed the weather personally. But here is someone who can tell us all about it. Our Royal Correspondent, Cameron Walker. Welcome to the studio. Welcome to Britain's Newsroom. What can you tell us? Breaking news overnight. Well, completely breaking news overnight. I don't think many people saw this coming. I mean, clearly there's a shift here, isn't it? Remember back 26 years ago, they had a Netflix series. They had the Spotify deal that was coming up. They had all of these business ventures going on. The Spotify deal was canned early. Most of the Netflix videos that they have done have been little bits of a flop, to be honest, apart from that first one where they essentially documented their exit as working royals. Megan still has her lifestyle brand, including the selling of Jam. Twelve dollars a jar. Well, I am told that she's going to continue with that. But I question how, because you can't get that jam and whatever else in the United Kingdom. Apparently, she's going to be doing that from home. This is much better for Prince Harry than Meghan, because Harry, and I've observed him in the last year, clearly is in his element when he's, you know, supporting military charities and supporting children's charities. It's almost like him being a little bit of working royal again. The kids, of course, coming to school in the UK in a couple of weeks. So they've been sniffing around schools, clearly. They've obviously found somewhere to live, all of which out of the public spotlight and without anybody reporting it, which suggests to me that their narrative that they were subject to media intrusion and they would be subject to media intrusion while they're in the UK just doesn't really stack up if they can do all of this stuff out of the public eye. Yeah. And I assume now we know when Harry and Meghan came here a few weeks ago, whenever it was, Cameron, it was a surprise that she came to, presumably looking at schools, looking at homes. Well, originally, we were told that Meghan would be seen in public with Harry at the Invictus Games event in Birmingham. That was pulled last minute over security concerns. And also, of course, a couple of days before, Harry had just lost his case against Associated Newspapers and the Daily Mail. So maybe Meghan didn't want to be pictured in that particular difficult week for Prince Harry. But you're right, they perhaps were looking at schools around that time. I'm told it wasn't discussed at the Highgrove meeting with the King and the Queen. The King only found out about this on Sunday up at Balmoral. The Telegraph reporting the Prince and Princess of Wales were informed ahead of time. Kensington Palace not talking to me last night or indeed this morning, which suggests to me that the King was the one that informs Prince William or at least the King's team informed Prince William. I think he is not going to be very happy about this, William. Because we do know for a fact, Cameron, not just idle speculation, William and Harry have not spoken for some years now. No, I know for absolute certain they have not been on speaking terms for a number of years. That's going to be far more difficult now that they're both living within the UK. I think it was quite easy for both sides, actually, when you've got the Atlantic Ocean in between the two of them to keep a distance. However, they're back in the UK. They're coming back to the UK. The King clearly is going to want to invite Meghan and Harry to various family events, including the Sandringham Walk at Christmas, for example. So, you know, within the next six months, William and Harry are likely to be forced to be in the same room as each other, unless one of them really puts their foot down, because, of course, there is stubbornness involved sometimes as well. But the other big point, of course, security, has that suddenly changed? The Home Office basically giving their usual spiel, which is we don't comment on private security matters. It's up to the RABEC Committee Home Office. Remember, Harry sued His Majesty's government in His Majesty's courtroom and lost over his security arrangements, his 24-7 taxpayer-funded police protection being taken away when he stood back as a working royal. He's no longer he's not going to become a working royal any time soon. So either the threats, which Harry was very much airing in all of these interviews, including one with the BBC last year, those threats were not as severe as he first as he first thought. And therefore, was he paranoid is the question? Or the Home Office have had a change of heart and is upgrading the level of protection. And therefore, taxpayers will be paying for it. And we're entitled to know that if the taxpayer is involved. I would argue that that's in the public interest. If taxpayers are paying for non-working royals police protection, I think that is in the public interest. So we'll see how long the Home Office's line lasts. That's we do not comment on private security arrangements. And they're coming any time soon. They're back anytime. I think within the next couple of weeks, because the schools will be going back early September. That's in two weeks time. Well, Cameron Walker, a busy day for you. I'm sure we'll be returning to you later. But thank you very much, Cameron.
