'Low chance' Meghan Markle will join Prince Harry on UK return visit
Prince Harry will return to the UK next weekIt’s unlikely that Meghan Markle will join her husband, Prince Harry, on his return visit to the UK next week, it has been suggested.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, will travel to the UK to appear at the annual WellChild Awards on Monday, September 8.
It will be the 15th time that he has attended the charity event, which celebrates the achievements of seriously ill young people and their families. Prince Harry has been a patron of the charity for the last 17 years.
Harry‘s visit will mark his first trip to the UK since his court hearings over his security protection in Britain back in April.
His visit next week will also coincide with the third anniversary of the death of his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
‘Low chance’ Meghan Markle will return to the UK with Prince Harry
But according to odds published by Pundit Arena, it’s not looking like Meghan, 44, will be making the journey with him.
Their odds indicated just a 16.7% chance that Meghan will accompany her royal husband as he comes home for the award ceremony.
The Duchess of Sussex has not set foot on UK soil since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.
However, they predicted she might be more likely to return in the future, with a trip before the end of this year at 4/1 and 2027 or later at 3/1.
Meanwhile, the odds of her never coming back to the UK sit at 8/1.
Joe Lyons, spokesperson for Pundit Arena, said: “Royal watchers will be glued to Prince Harry’s UK visit next week, but the odds suggest there is a low chance his wife Meghan Markle will join him on the trip; we estimate a 16.7% chance that she’ll make the journey.”
He also predicted: “A return to the UK in general for the first time since 2022 still appears to be some way off, with 2026 currently seen as the most likely window, priced at 10/11.”
Will Prince Harry reunite with King Charles?
What about a meet up between father and son?
Lyons then turned to the much-speculated topic of whether Prince Harry will be using the opportunity to reunite with his father, for the first time since February 2024.
A father-son reunion with King Charles is more likely than not.
In May of this year, Harry spoke to the BBC about wanting a reconciliation with his family. He also claimed that his father wasn’t talking to him.
“For the Duke of Sussex, a father-son reunion with King Charles is more likely than not (55%).” Lyons claimed. “However, a meeting with Prince William looks far more unlikely at this stage; the brothers are 4/1 to meet at any stage during the visit.”
