Megyn Kelly accused Meghan Markle of chasing status as new UK return reports put the Duke and Duchess of Sussex back in the spotlight. The Royal family commentator claimed Meghan likely had to convince Prince Harry because of his past comments about Britain. The segment framed the reported move as a title-and-image play, not just family logistics.
Megyn Kelly claims Meghan Markle had to talk Prince Harry into moving to the UK
As per Megyn Kelly’s YouTube segment uploaded on August 21, 2026, Kelly discussed the UK return. The segment, titled “The REAL Reason Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are Leaving America,” featured Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan. Kelly claimed the reason was “more simple” and tied it to “vanity.” She said, “in particular it’s her vanity,” while discussing Meghan Markle’s alleged motive.
Meanwhile, Kelly claimed Meghan wanted the children’s royal titles to matter in daily life. She said Meghan was not happy her children were not getting “the royal treatment.” Kelly added that she wanted Archie and Lilibet to be called “prince and princess everywhere.” Then, she claimed Meghan wanted the Sussex title to carry weight at restaurants and public spaces. Kelly said it “actually means something over there.”
However, Kelly said Prince Harry’s own past comments made the UK return more striking. She claimed Meghan “probably had to talk him into it” because Harry had criticized Britain. The segment then played the BBC interview, Harry saying, “I can’t see a world” where he would bring his family back.
He also said, “I love my country,” while discussing safety and public service. Callahan later responded that consistency had never been a strong point for Sussex. For Megyn Kelly, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and the UK return, the exchange turned the reported move into a debate over status, titles, and reversal.
