Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering a return to the United Kingdom, but they may not receive a warm welcome, according to sources familiar with British sentiment. Lady Colin Campbell, an author and royal commentator, expressed that the British public largely does not desire Harry's return, viewing him as increasingly alienated and lonely in America.
Campbell suggested that Harry has severed ties with friends and relatives in the UK and that no members of the royal family wish for his return, considering him a "thorn in their side." She also cast doubt on the extent of Meghan Markle's potential involvement in any UK-based activities, stating, "I don’t see her spending extended periods of time in Britain." According to Campbell, "Our country can’t stand her," citing her past comments and perceived use of race as divisive tactics. She anticipates that the royal family would largely ignore Meghan, with King Charles and Prince William having "nothing to do with them."
Meghan is described as a "problem" capable of "hunkering, scheming, planning," and few have forgiven alleged lies about Britain not embracing her. Campbell characterized Prince Harry as a "weak, malleable, not brilliant" individual who is "volatile, paranoid, self-important," and not easily controlled. She believes Meghan has been able to exert control over him, which initially appeared beneficial to the royals by calming him down, but ultimately diverted his hostility towards them.
The couple is reportedly exploring property options in the UK, with Campbell noting it could be a favorable time to buy due to depressed prices. They are said to already own a house in Portugal, a country she described as fashionable and affordable.
However, Campbell anticipates that neither Harry nor Meghan would be treated as prominent figures. She suggested they might be invited to present awards, with the press publicizing such appearances, but that would be the extent of their engagement. She concluded that their "own actions and conduct" have led to them being "despised on both sides of the Atlantic" and that their lives are in "absolute turmoil."
