Meghan Markle could play a pivotal role in shaping Prince Harry's forthcoming UK trip, potentially affecting his chances of reconciling with his estranged brother, Prince William.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams suggests that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, might "pose a challenge" ahead of Harry's planned return to Britain in May. This trip comes at a time when the royal family is grappling with consecutive challenges following King Charles and Kate Middleton's health crises.
While there's speculation that Harry aims to bridge the gaps within the family during this visit, Fitzwilliams points out the unpredictability of such situations, especially given the gravity of the recent family issues. He told The Sun, "The severity of illness can be a game-changer. Despite past events, with the current situation being so serious, unexpected outcomes are possible."
Fitzwilliams emphasized Meghan's influence in the decision-making process, stating, "Meghan holds considerable sway. Harry is keen to portray himself as a committed family man, prioritizing family above all else, much like William. However, if Meghan chooses not to accompany him, she cannot be compelled."
Recent discussions in royal circles, highlighted by expert Tom Quinn in The Mirror, indicated that the Prince and Princess of Wales had extended an invitation to the Sussexes, urging them to bring their children, Archie and Lilibet, to the UK.
Fitzwilliams added a perspective on this, saying, "It's highly improbable that Harry would travel with the children without Meghan. Such a move would likely signal marital discord, and that scenario is highly unlikely to unfold."
In essence, Meghan Markle's decisions could significantly influence the dynamics of the royal family reunion, shaping the narrative around Prince Harry's UK visit.
