Hello, hello, hello…
Prince William and Kate Middleton have settled on a surprisingly simple strategy for dealing with Harry and Meghan’s latest British chapter: do absolutely nothing.
Sources tell Naughty But Nice the Prince and Princess of Wales are convinced the Sussexes are not truly moving home. Instead, they see the proposed six-month stay as temporary — and believe time is firmly on their side.
“William and Kate play the long game,” a palace insider tells Naughty But Nice. “They’re not going to fight them, brief against them or get dragged into another Sussex circus. Their attitude is simple: sit back, wait and see what actually happens.”
That uncertainty is important. Despite reports that Meghan’s acting job in Britain has been canceled, sources tell Naughty But Nice there was never a finalized deal to cancel. Discussions have taken place, but nothing has been officially confirmed.
“There was never a signed, sealed acting job,” an insider says. “Meghan wants it badly, but this was always a possibility, not a done deal..”
Sources say Meghan’s motivation for considering an extended British stay is professional, not sentimental.
“If the opportunity was filming in Canada, they’d be talking about Canada,” says the insider. “Britain is about the potential work. For Harry, the bonus is spending more time near his family.”
And William isn’t worried about what happens next.

“William has enormous confidence in Harry and Meghan’s ability to create their own problems,” the source says. “Why interfere? Every time there’s chaos around them, William and Kate look calmer, stronger and more dependable.”
The Wales strategy isn’t to defeat Harry and Meghan.
It’s to wait and watch.

That is the correct response. Act as if they are completely irrelevant.
