Meghan Markle warned over 'unthinkable' move amid UK return rumours
The Duchess of Sussex is expected to return to the UK alongside Prince Harry
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expected to make a well overdue return to the UK in the next few weeks. However, ahead of this, speculation is swirling over Meghan’s decision to return.
Now, the Duchess of Sussex has been dealt a major warning. Here is everything we know so far…
Meghan Markle ‘warned’ over UK return
Harry and Meghan’s impending return to the UK could mean a big dilemma for The Firm.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to return to the UK to kick off the countdown to the Invictus Games in 2027.
Although this could pave the way for healing between Harry, Meghan and the royals, it could also exacerbate tensions.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has shared his thoughts on the matter.
“There is so much hostility over here towards the Sussexes, and if they’re hoping to smooth the path with Charles, a reunion with the grandchildren would be an obvious way of doing that,” Richard said. “I don’t think the King will be involved in anything to do with the Games this summer, but I do think it’s a real possibility that he will see Harry and his grandchildren, and that probably means seeing Meghan too.”
The last time Harry and Meghan were in the UK
The last time King Charles spent time with Archie and Lilibet was when they flew over for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. So, a reunion could well and truly be on the cards.
Meanwhile, Meghan hasn’t returned to the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in September of 2022.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams believes that because so much time has passed, now could be the time.
In fact, he has a warning for Meghan. He thinks that the Duchess of Sussex missing out on a trip to the UK would be the “unthinkable” option, despite mounting pressures.
Meghan Markle could make ‘unthinkable’ move
“It would be unthinkable for Meghan not to appear at Invictus because it would look like she was hiding away, and she will stand by Harry no matter what,” Fitzwilliams told The Mirror.
The 2027 Invictus Games are also predicted to be a time for reunion between The Firm. Prince Harry is even said to be eager for King Charles to attend.
The next Invictus Games are scheduled to begin on July 10, 2027, and will end on Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday. These timings may make things complicated for King Charles.
King Charles’s dilemma
A source said that organisers are “aware” of the scheduling clash.
However, reportedly Charles can attend the opening ceremony and other events “while still honouring commitments” to his wife.
A spokesperson for the Invictus Games previously confirmed that invitations will be sent to the royal family.
“The royal family have been longstanding supporters of the Invictus Games since its inception in 2014,” they said. “While it is too early to confirm who will attend in 2027… we would very much welcome their presence.”
So if Meghan does choose to visit the UK in the coming months, it seems she and Harry have some ground work to do to win over their royal relatives in time for the Invictus Games in 2027.
