Liz Jones predicts divorce on the same day the Sussexes were announced to be visiting the UK

Liz Jones has written a piece for the Daily Mail predicting serious trouble in the Sussex marriage. The evidence she presents includes Harry sitting eight rows back from courtside at the NBA Finals, Meghan posting a photo dump captioned Springing into Summer on the same day Harry sent a video to Düsseldorf, and Lili being photographed in a wardrobe. The piece was published on the same day the Telegraph confirmed the entire Sussex family is coming to the UK next month. Let me walk through the specific claims because each one deserves to be examined rather than allowed to stand unchallenged. Liz Jones says Harry sitting eight rows back from Taylor Swift at the NBA Finals proves he wants to lay low while Meghan would have pushed for the limelight. There are several problems with this. Harry was personally invited by the NBA Commissioner and sat next to him for the entire game. He brought JP Lane, a veteran he is personally supporting toward Birmingham 2027. The seating was appropriate to the purpose of his invitation. Liz Jones has invented a hypothetical version of Meghan demanding celebrity adjacency with no basis in anything that actually happened. She says the photo dump Meghan posted while Harry sent the Düsseldorf message reveals a chasm between their values. Meghan was sharing family life on her personal Instagram. Harry was sending a video to a veteran sports festival. These are two people doing two different things simultaneously. Every couple on earth does this. The suggestion that a wife posting summer photos while her husband sends a professional video message is evidence of marital strain requires a creative interpretation of ordinary daily life that would not survive contact with any marriage. She says Meghan posting Lili in the wardrobe on the eve of the Geneva speech was hypocritical and tone-deaf, suggesting Harry must have been reeling. This argument was made at the time and addressed then. Meghan's position on social media has never been that no photographs of children should exist. It is that children deserve protection from algorithmic harm and platform exploitation. A mother posting a single sweet photo of her daughter is not the same thing as the systemic harms she addressed in Geneva. Harry, who has spoken about his own experiences with invasive media coverage, has never suggested he disagrees with Meghan's approach to their children's social media presence. The piece concludes by calling Meghan a grifter who is living a Made in Chelsea lifestyle while Harry wants to make a difference. On the day this column was published, the Strawberry Matcha Set sold out. The Telegraph confirmed the family is coming to Britain together. Harry described being excited for his children to see his homeland. The source described a warming of the frost between Harry and Charles. Liz Jones predicts serious trouble in store. The Sussex family is packing their bags for Birmingham. The clickbait did not age well. It took approximately four hours.
