Are Harry and Meghan truly attempting a homecoming?According to multiple reports, the Gruesome Twosome will travel to the UK — with their children — for a visit in July.Amazing, really, considering that Harry has been banging on for years about how unsafe his home country is for his wife — to say nothing of his endless court battles over taxpayer-funded security.In February 2022, Harry's lawyer told the High Court in London that he 'does not feel safe when he is in the UK given the security arrangements that were applied to him in June 2021 and will continue to be applied to him if he decides to come back.'Harry to ITV in July 2024: 'It's still dangerous,' he said of tabloid media, 'and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read.'The dim duke continued, in great detail.'And whether it's a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me. It's one of the reasons why I won't bring my wife back to this country.'To the BBC, May 2025, having lost a court battle over getting taxpayer-funded security: 'I can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point.'Apparently, things have changed. What those things are, however, remains a mystery. Are Harry and Meghan truly attempting a homecoming? According to multiple reports, the Gruesome Twosome will travel to the UK, with their children, for a visit in July.Reports that King Charles has agreed to fund security for the Sussexes are untrue, says the Daily Mail's Rebecca English.She also reports that Harry, Meghan and the children are said to have been offered royal accommodations, but that the Sussexes have not yet responded to that offer — though a meeting with the King just may happen.No William, notably. Just Charles.What could possibly have precipitated this about-face? And can one actually execute an about-face when they wear at least two faces, as Meghan and Harry seem to?One face is prideful and speaks of rising above the British Royal Family, living their best lives free in Montecito, able to mope about at various professional sports outings and meaningless award ceremonies.The other is angry, vengeful, speaking of resentment and grudges while spilling all manner of royal secrets in books, Netflix documentaries, podcasts and interviews.Which of these faces will Harry and Meghan wear as they crawl back to the UK?Do they understand that they are unwanted?Doubtful. Self-awareness is not among Harry and Meghan's defining traits.We have been advised, via a Harry source who spoke to News.com.au (Australia's biggest news site) that what should be a happy occasion — at last, the King will see his grandchildren Archie and Lili, and a true reconciliation with him may be possible — well, Harry's bummed.This permanent carrier of gloom and doom, it seems, is holding tight to those grievances.'It's been a real point of great sadness — for Harry especially — that he's been unable to bring his wife and kids back to the UK safely to reconnect with friends and family, but anyone would understand his desire to put their safety first,' this source said.I'm sorry — does no one recall that Ring camera photo of Harry, looking lost and worse for wear, as he mistakenly rang multiple strangers' doorbells while searching for a friend?Of Harry standing seemingly alone, in broad daylight, two trash bins to his rear?It's either safe or it's not.As for Meghan: This is a woman who seemed shocked that she and Harry were heartily booed one of the last times they set foot in the UK together.Her disdain for the UK and the British Royal Family is well-documented. Omid Scobie, her lapdog, claimed in his book Endgame that Meghan never felt at home in the UK and 'never wants to set foot in England again.'It's ostensible contradictions like these that really damage a person's authenticity. A brand's authenticity.Here's what I think is going on: Meghan is staring down what's become known as her own jar-mageddon. She's sitting on mounds of unsold As Ever jarred jams, tea bags and flower sprinkles — perishables that have a literal shelf life.If Meghan can't move this merch, she will reportedly take a $5 million-plus loss. Amazing, really, considering that Harry has been banging on for years about how unsafe his home country is for his wife.She also got a bracing look at her reputational damage, at the widespread antipathy she's generated, when she arrived in a public plaza in Geneva to give a speech outside the United Nations headquarters last month.Barricades had been set up to control a vast crowd — who apparently had much better things to do, such as laundry and scrubbing the tub.For our Duchess of Endless Despair reportedly found herself lecturing a mere gaggle of stragglers and rubberneckers about the dangers social media poses to children — mere hours after posting a photo of her daughter Lili (back to the camera, but nonetheless) to Instagram.The offers have dried up. The big money is no longer coming in. Harry, sans Meghan, was relegated to the eighth row while Timothée Chalamet and Spike Lee sat courtside during Game 5 of the NBA Finals — and no one cared.Call me cynical, but it would be hard to believe the real purpose of this trip is heartfelt reconciliation — and not about filling the coffers, catching some of that royal stardust, and gathering intel to share with Oprah, Netflix and whoever else cares to hear it.And that's an audience dwindling to zero.
