Meghan just came up with a deluded comeback plan – she’s completely blind to reality.TA
OPINION: Express reporter Adam Toms has laid into the Sussexes as they overshadow the King’s latest engagement.

Meghan and Harry have conducted their first public engagement since arriving back in the UK. “Hang on,” you may say. “Are they back as working royals, then?” No. They aren’t. But clearly they still want to be and seem to be adopting a strategy of pretending to be working members of the Firm. The actual King also had an engagement today, the opening of the Senedd, but this has been completely overshadowed by the Sussexes. This was always going to happen. The monarch is making sure one of the largest cogs of the UK’s democracy is turning — doing his duty — while his son and his wife cosplay as important people. Was this deliberately timed? I would not put it past them.
The couple were in Nottingham, where they appeared in public together for the first time after their wedding in 2018, at the East Midlands city’s Community Recording Studio. School children assembled to greet them, but reports suggest there were fewer than 200 people in the crowd.
It comes after a source purported to be close to Meghan said she “loves taking on a challenge” and will “fight back” even if the hostility to her in Britain stays strong. They told Closer: “Meghan is very competitive, she loves taking on a challenge, and she’s coming back to the UK with the mindset that she can turn things around and win people over.
“She’s heard all the predictions that she’ll never be welcomed in England again, but she’s refusing to just roll over and accept that as the truth. There was a time when all the hostility she’s facing across the pond would have taken her down, but she’s stronger than she was six years ago, and she’s insisting that she’s ready to stand up and fight back.”

Framing Brits’ hostility as a “challenge to overcome” is a severe misunderstanding of the country’s public sentiment. Once we decide we don’t like you, it is very hard for us to change our minds, especially if you keep acting in the way that caused us to turn against you in the first place.
Meghan shows no sign of showing any humility or apologising for having a tantrum and trying to torpedo the Crown — an institution that has endured for thousands of years — from her seat in California. Trying to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is called insanity.

Admitting she did wrong and needs to go about things differently would be a start.
Andy Burnham accused of ‘inciting disorder’ as 781 migrants cross Channel in single day
Andy Burnham is accused of inciting disorder after a record 781 migrants crossed the Channel in one day, while Reform UK warns numbers are accelerating.

Andy Burnham has been accused of inciting disorder across the country because of the way his Government is handling the migration crisis.
It comes after his administration suffered its worst day on record, with 781 illegal migrants breaking into the country in unlawful Channel crossings in a single day.
The record-breaking influx also saw two boats arrive on UK shores undetected, sparking fury in Westminster and triggering threats of protests at migrant sites.
Horrendous footage and pictures, seen in Thursday’s Daily Express, also show what appears to be a man abandoning a child in the water so he can climb aboard a crowded dinghy.
Reform UK’s Shadow Home Secretary Zia Yusuf warned that numbers were “accelerating” despite Home Office claims that the overall total had reduced.
He told Good Morning Britain that the UK has had “north of 210,000 people turn up on our beaches illegally in the past eight years” and warned “people’s lives are being turned upside down”.
Those comments were in relation to the village of Piddington, which recently hosted a symbolic referendum to leave the UK in protest against the housing of migrants at a nearby base.
Mr Yusuf said residents “are terrified that they are about to be outnumbered 10 to 1 by illegal migrant men”.
Home Office data shows a decline in the number of crossings this year, but critics say the overall figure remains far too high, with an insufficient number of people being sent back to their countries of origin.

In a scathing attack on the Prime Minister, Mr Yusuf said: “Andy Burnham is inciting disorder in Britain by wielding the state’s monopoly on violence to impose unvetted men from countries like Afghanistan, Syria and Eritrea into local communities.”
He added: “This is unprecedented. I am worried the country is heading to a dark place.”
His remarks refer to footage showing coaches used to transfer migrants from the coast to immigration centres being accompanied by a police escort.
There have been mounting protests by masked men near locations used to hold migrants, though police support for security reasons is not uncommon.
