Meghan’s ‘return’ to UK is ‘act of desperation’ & ‘dangerous’ moment for Royals – William will be furious, blasts expert
MEGHAN Markle’s return to the UK is an act of desperation while Prince William will be furious, an expert says.
The Duchess of Sussex is expected to travel to Britain with Prince Harry and their two children within weeks in what has been labelled a “dangerous moment” for the Royal Family.
The Sussexes will travel from Montecito, California, for Harry’s one-year countdown party for the Invictus Games, his signature charitable initiative for wounded soldiers.
But speaking to Bronte Coy on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive, TV host Mark Dolan cast doubt on their motivations, saying it’s a clear message they “want to be back in the Royal fold”.
He said: “I mean, it’s something Harry could have jumped on a Zoom and said, okay, folks, a year to go. Good luck, let’s go for it. Why are they all coming for what is a nothing burger?
“I believe it’s an act of desperation. Meghan is impervious to shame.”
Dolan explained his reasoning, saying the couple’s “business enterprises are struggling” and they therefore want to “recalibrate with Royal credentials”.
He continued to say that Meghan is “in a pickle across the board” and the move demonstrates “they need to be part of the Royal family again”.
“They need the optics, they need the titles, they need the status, they need the elevated position it gives them because at the moment, we’ve seen that Meghan’s popularity is dropping in the United States,” he said.
“So it’s a great moment for them and a terrible blow for Team Wales.
“Prince William will be furious”.
Royal Reporter for News.com.au, Bronte Coy, reported that a source close to Harry said he had felt “great sadness” at being unable to safely bring his wife and children to the UK in recent years.
The insider said Harry has long wanted Archie and Lilibet to experience the country where he grew up and meet more of their relatives.
Coy asked Daily Beast European editor at large, Tom Sykes, whether there’s a chance tensions could be put aside and the “kids could all get together”.
But he blasted the remarks as “incredibly self-serving” and didn’t think the visit would help improve relations.
“The idea that this is some random cause of sadness to them is so, is such a manipulation of what the sequence of what actually happened,” he said.
“I’ve been told very frankly, by friends of William and Catherine, that they absolutely loathe them. They completely blame Meghan for what has happened.”
Dolan also warned that Harry and Meghan’s return could spell “a dangerous moment” for the Royal Family.
He said: “It’s an existential moment, because with Harry and Meghan coming back into the royal fold, as you say, with the subtle blessing of the king, we have more material for Spare Two. This time it’s personal, the follow-up book,” he said.
“More material for the second season of the Harry and Meghan documentary on Netflix. More material for Meghan’s forthcoming memoir, Meghan, My Story.
“They are feeding the monster.”
Uncertainty still surrounds whether the Sussexes return to the UK this summer would be possible after the Prince was stripped of his police protection when visiting the UK.
In May 2025, it was confirmed Prince Harry lost his multimillion-pound fight for protection on British soil after his round-the-clock royal protection was axed in the wake of Megxit.
But a Royal source has told The Sun that conditions – whatever they may be – for a safe return have been met.
Harry previously claimed stripping him of his security was a plot to force him and his wife Meghan back to Britain.
Harry has returned to Britain several times since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, but Meghan and the children have almost always remained in California.
While it has been nearly four years since Meghan last set foot in the UK.
The Sussexes have only returned to Britain with Archie and Lilibet once, during celebrations for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
The upcoming trip would be Meghan’s first major public return to the UK since attending the Queen‘s funeral.
