The Duke’s potential 2025 visit could mend royal ties while highlighting ongoing tensions.
Prince Harry is reportedly planning a surprise trip to the UK in 2025, a decision that has stirred speculation about mending his strained relationship with the royal family. However, Meghan Markle is believed not to support the move, according to royal insiders.
Royal expert Andrew Lownie told The Sun that the door remains "open" for Harry’s return, particularly following the Sussexes’ decision to separate their professional ventures. “Maybe the door is being left open for Harry to come back to Britain,” Lownie suggested, hinting at the possibility of reconciliation.
Harry’s potential visit would likely bring joy to his father, King Charles, who is battling cancer and reportedly missed spending Christmas with Harry’s family.
However, Lownie also noted the couple’s declining popularity in the UK, linking them to a broader pattern of “rogue royals.” Comparing them to Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, he said, “It’s what I call the ‘rogue royals’—people putting private pleasure and profit ahead of public service.”
Harry’s return could mark a pivotal moment for royal family dynamics, though it remains unclear how Meghan’s disapproval might impact his decision. As tensions persist, the Duke’s potential trip raises questions about the future of his relationship with both the monarchy and his wife.
