Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won’t return to royal family due to ‘past behavior’

One expert has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won’t be returning to the UK and the royal family – despite some fans’ hopes – due to a variety of factors

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be returning to their royal duties, according to an expert.

Fans had been hoping the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would one day return to the UK for a royal reunion, however, royal commentator Richard Eden has suggested several reasons why that won’t be happening. He claimed “Meghan’s past behavior” would make a reunion impossible.

Eden suggested Harry and Meghan’s American exile is self-inflicted, explaining, “Call me paranoid, if you wish, but I do sense something of a conspiracy among certain parts of our Establishment to bring about a return of Harry and Meghan to the royal fold. There is no doubt that Harry is seeking a closer relationship with his family again.”

Eden continued, “After King Charles’s cancer treatment was announced in February last year, his younger son let it be known via friends that he was willing to take on a temporary royal role in support of his father. His offer was never taken up, but the California-based Prince is understood to be eager to spend more time in his homeland.”

Eden underscored King Charles’ recent proposition that Harry and his family could lend their support to him and Queen Camilla. The expert noted that royalists are holding onto this possibility with optimism.

However, writing in the Daily Mail, Eden subtly pointed to “Meghan’s past behavior” as the primary reason why they won’t rejoin the royal family after their five-year break. Eden added, “The Queen put much effort into making Meghan feel welcome, asking her to join her on a day of engagements in Cheshire, for example, and handing her the roles of patron of the National Theatre and vice president of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust. These made the most of Meghan’s talents and interests.

“However, courtiers who were asked to work with Meghan say she sometimes gave the impression that she did not want to be a successful royal. They have told me she seemed to be looking for reasons to be resentful and encourage Harry to return with her to California, where she could make a stack of money.”

He added, “On Instagram, she recently stated that she had not been able to share her passion for food and home for ‘years’ after she shut her lifestyle blog The Tig, which provides further evidence that she was unhappy with the restrictions of royal life.”

His comments come after a telling exchange between the King and para-athlete David Henson at an event in London. After hearing of Henson’s involvement in the Invictus Games, Charles offered a terse, “Fantastic” – seemingly hesitant to delve into any conversation about his youngest son’s sports initiative.
