Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Surprise UK Visit Faces Potential Awkwardness with the Queen

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set to make a surprise visit to the UK in September, but their return may not be as smooth as anticipated.

According to a royal commentator, the couple's upcoming trip will not take priority over the Queen's busy schedule, potentially leading to an awkward situation.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be visiting Manchester and London to collaborate with charities that hold personal significance for them.

A spokesperson for the couple expressed their delight in returning to Prince Harry's home country.

This visit will mark their first return to the UK since attending the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, where they joined other members of the royal family to honor Queen Elizabeth II's 70-year reign.

However, despite the anticipation surrounding their return, it remains uncertain whether Meghan and Harry plan to meet with other members of the royal family during their visit.

One commentator, Danielle Elser, a royal writer for Australian website news.com.au, has already suggested that their visit may not take precedence over the Queen's demanding royal schedule.

Elser pointed out that on the day Meghan and Harry arrive in Manchester for the opening ceremony of the One Young World Summit, the Conservative Party will be conducting their leadership vote to select the next prime minister.

The following day, Boris Johnson will formally resign and hand over the keys to 10 Downing Street.

As Elser highlighted, the Palace has confirmed that the Queen will interrupt her summer holiday in Balmoral to return to London for this change in leadership, meeting both the incoming and outgoing prime ministers.

In her article, Elser emphasized that this arrangement would inevitably push the Sussexes' highly anticipated return down the priority list, potentially creating an uncomfortable situation with the Queen.

Meghan and Harry are expected to stay at Frogmore Cottage, their former royal residence, which is just a short stroll away from Windsor Castle, the Queen's primary residence.

Elser suggested that if the Queen and the couple find themselves in such close proximity without any effort made to meet, it would be a humiliating experience for Meghan and Harry.

Furthermore, if the Duke and Duchess travel thousands of kilometers only to be disregarded by Her Majesty, it could have negative implications for their Netflix deals.

As disaffected former HRHs who are shunned by the widely-loved Queen, they may face difficulties in appealing to audiences.

These comments from Elser come amidst ongoing speculation surrounding Meghan and Harry's lucrative contracts with Netflix and Spotify.

It remains unclear whether the couple will be filmed during their visit to the UK in September.

During the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, film cameras were not permitted to follow them to avoid overshadowing the Queen's momentous achievement.

In other news, reports suggest that Meghan Markle is seeking answers from Prince Harry regarding the low attendance at his UN speech in New York City.

Royal expert Neil Sean shed light on this marital disagreement, highlighting that the empty seats did not reflect well on either of their brands.

Sean expressed his understanding of Meghan's desire for answers, as they had traveled a long way from California to New York only to be met with an underwhelming reception.

As Meghan and Harry prepare for their upcoming visit to the UK, all eyes will be on how their reunion with the royal family unfolds and whether they can navigate the potential complexities of their return.
