A royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has voiced concerns over the possibility of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, rejoining the British royal family as working members.
Fitzwilliams labeled such a move as “bizarre” and warned that it could lead to “humiliation” for the couple, considering the damage caused by their controversial decisions.
The couple made headlines in 2020 when they decided to step down as senior working members of the royal family and relocated to Canada before settling in Montecito, California, in search of privacy. Since then, they have embarked on various high-profile ventures, including a Netflix documentary, an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, and Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”
Critics have not held back in their ridicule and criticism of the Sussexes, even inspiring a “South Park” episode that mercilessly mocked a fictional royal couple resembling them. Such public backlash has fueled doubts about their reception in the royal fold if they were to return.
Also, rumors have emerged suggesting Prince Harry’s desire to distance himself from Meghan’s Hollywood lifestyle. His former biographer, Angela Levin, has reportedly advised Prince William and his wife Kate to shield their eldest son, Prince George, from any negative influence that Prince Harry might have on him. Levin has stressed the importance of providing a stable and nurturing environment for young George, who is second in line to the throne.
Despite their roles as parents to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, it seems that the prospect of their return to the UK royal family remains uncertain and potentially unwelcome. The couple’s turbulent journey has left a lasting impact on their relationship with other members of the royal family and the public’s perception of them.
In light of all the events that have transpired, Fitzwilliams’ warning seems to serve as a stark reminder of the challenges and potential consequences the Sussexes could face if they ever decide to rejoin the monarchy. For now, the future remains uncertain, and the couple’s focus remains on their pursuits outside the traditional royal realm.
