Don Lemon has voiced his confusion regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's reported decision to relocate back to the United Kingdom. In an Instagram video shared on Wednesday, the former CNN host shared his reaction to headlines announcing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's potential return across the Atlantic.
"What? What is going on here?" Lemon asked his followers, referencing news coverage of the couple's choice. He characterized their decision as a reversal after their previous departure from royal life and public statements. Lemon noted that he had previously anticipated a return, though he had speculated Harry might go back alone after separating from Markle.
Lemon stated he is "rooting" for the couple but questioned their decision-making process. He also mused about the potential dynamics of their return, wondering about the reaction of Catherine, Princess of Wales, and her husband Prince William. Lemon speculated that the reunion might be less than amicable, suggesting a possibility of "shady mcshade" rather than a warm welcome.
Lemon's comments come amid ongoing public interest in the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following their decision to step back from senior royal duties in 2020 and their subsequent move to California. The couple's public engagements and interviews have often drawn significant media attention and commentary.
