After six years in Montecito, California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making their return to the UK. However, according to a new report, the Sussexes’ comeback is reportedly a nightmare for the royal family. The news comes as the couple prepares to live outside royal residences, with their children set to start school in Britain.
Royal commentator shares how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return can impact the Royal family
A royal expert has warned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s UK return could be a “nightmare” for Buckingham Palace. The family, including Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, reportedly flew in from California last week.
The couple, however, will not take on any official royal duties during their time in the UK. Additionally, according to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will maintain their primary residence in California.
That said, experts caution that the “Suits” alum’s commercial pursuits may lead to tensions with Buckingham Palace. This could further deepen the existing rift with senior royals, which stems from their explosive interviews and claims made in Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams also cautioned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s packed itinerary could “overshadow” the royal family’s official engagements.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, he said, “The nightmare for the Palace is that they can’t be controlled. Diary clashes will probably mean royal engagements are overshadowed by what the Sussexes choose to do and what they are, or are not, asked to by the Palace.”
The Sussex family is reportedly setting up a UK residence in the idyllic Cotswolds, an area west of London where they lived briefly in 2018. Sources claim that Markle wants a nine-bedroom home featuring a film studio. Meanwhile, the Duke’s priority is securing privacy and ample space. The non-working royals no longer have access to their former home, Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate.
As for the length of their stay, sources claim that the couple will base themselves in Britain for six months. They will consider another move afterward.
