A virtual appearance by Meghan is causing rumors again: Could the Sussexes return to their royal duties?
The Duchess appeared virtually at the Mayhew animal clinic in northwest London to open the Oli Juste station. The dog behaviorist after whom it is named died in January 2022. He is said to have been friends with Meghan. Before leaving the British royal family, the Duchess of Sussex was patron of the animal welfare organization Mayhew.
Are the Sussexes coming back?
After Meghan reported there via video message, there was renewed speculation as to whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were planning to return to Great Britain. Prince Harry and his wife resigned as senior royals in 2020 and moved to the USA. They currently live in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie (4) and Princess Lilibet (2).
Prince Harry made a short visit to Great Britain at the beginning of February to visit his father, King Charles III, who was suffering from cancer. (75) to visit. There was subsequent speculation in the British press that Harry might want to temporarily return to royal service.
However, royal experts consider this to be rather unlikely. This is what royal family expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Mail Online., that the Sussexes are unlikely to take on any more high-level roles after the years-long public dispute with Harry’s family. In Harry’s autobiography “Reserve”, in interviews and in a Netflix documentary, the couple had sometimes dealt violently against the royal family. During Prince Harry’s short visit in February, his father is said to have welcomed him for less than 45 minutes, and he did not meet his brother Prince William (41).
Sussexes would cause too much hype
According to Fitzwilliams, the “media circus” surrounding the Sussexes also speaks against a return. That would reduce the British monarchy “to a Kardashian-like carnival,” said the expert. However, he assumes that Harry will now travel to Great Britain more often to see his father: “The situation is very difficult, and of course nothing will work that diminishes the reputation of the monarchy, the dignity of the monarchy. But Harry is clear worried about his father and will be here again – when and under what circumstances is a question of time.”
