Meghan Markle’s Unlikely Return to the UK Disappoints Fans
Growing Speculation
Meghan Markle’s potential return to the UK is looking increasingly unlikely, much to the disappointment of fans who hoped to see her alongside Prince Harry at the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in London.
Limited UK Visits Since Royal Departure
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan has made few trips to the UK. A notable visit was for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, where she and Harry reportedly faced booing from crowds as they left St Paul’s Cathedral after a national service of thanksgiving. Meghan’s absence during Harry’s visit for King Charles’ coronation in May 2023 further fueled speculation about her reluctance to return.
Public Scrutiny Concerns
According to American news presenter Megyn Kelly, Meghan may have opted not to accompany Harry due to fears of facing public scrutiny and potential backlash once more. The cool reception at previous events likely influenced her decision.
Loss of a UK Residence
Complicating matters is the couple’s eviction from Frogmore Cottage, a gift from the Queen. This eviction, issued by King Charles in January of the previous year, resulted in Harry and Meghan returning the keys in June 2023 and moving their belongings to California. Any future stays at royal residences would now require a private arrangement with the King, highlighting the strained relationship between the couple and the Royal Family.
Meghan’s Focus Elsewhere
Meghan did not join Harry on his May 8th trip to England for the Invictus Games, a cause dear to him. Instead, she undertook an official trip to Nigeria, a move that reportedly angered the Royal Family. This absence underscores Meghan’s shifting priorities and her apparent disinterest in maintaining a presence in the UK.
Conclusion
While Meghan might visit England occasionally, it is unlikely to be in an official capacity. Her actions suggest a firm stance on distancing herself from royal duties and the UK, signaling she is ready to move on. This decision, while disappointing to many, highlights her desire to prioritize her own values and life in California over her former royal ties.
