The controversy surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s expected return to the United Kingdom is growing. There’s certainly a lot of buzz about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry coming back home to the U.K. The couple’s intended trip has led to renewed interest in their relationship with the British monarchy and raised doubts about their reasons for returning to Britain after they set up their home in North America years ago.According to biographer Tom Bower, who has written extensively about the royal family, the Sussex couple’s visit represents a significant reversal in their stated position regarding their place within the royal fold. Speaking during an episode of ‘The Royalist’ podcast, Bower offered his perspective on what he believes the couple hopes to achieve through their return to England.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ‘crawling back’ to Britain
Bower characterised the couple’s approach in blunt terms, suggesting that their strategy involves a calculated effort to restore connections they previously severed. “We’re seeing them effectively crawl on bended knees back to Britain, and they are to be pathetically grateful if the King agrees,” the biographer said on the podcast.The commentator suggested that the impact of separating from royal life has been particularly challenging for Harry. “I think, for Harry, it’s worse because Harry is isolated in California. He misses his roots, he misses England, and somehow wants to worm his way back into the affections not only of his own family, but of the British people,” Bower explained.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have ‘run out of ideas’ for generating income
Bower attributed the couple’s apparent eagerness to reconnect with the monarchy to financial considerations. According to the biographer, their various business ventures since departing from royal duties have not generated the level of success they anticipated, placing them in a position where they feel compelled to restore their royal connections.“They’ve run out of ideas, and their finances are basically in jeopardy,” Bower claimed. He characterised Meghan’s motivations as being rooted in a desire for prominence and financial security. “Meghan is someone who is desperate for fame. She’s desperate for recognition. She is desperate for money, of course and status. And it just seems to her that a visit to the royal family in Britain would restore to her the credibility she once had.“
Will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry receive a warm reception?
Despite reports that King Charles III has offered to accommodate Harry and Meghan at one of the royal residences during their visit, Bower expressed scepticism about whether the couple would receive what he characterised as a genuine welcome from the institution.“Buckingham Palace won’t allow Meghan to parade herself as a member of the royal family and the Duchess in Britain itself, to actually earn money and earn glory from having married the Prince,” Bower noted. “I mean, we are then into really sordid, controversial territory, if in any way she’s allowed to exploit that situation,” he claimed, suggesting that the palace would be cautious about any arrangement that appeared to leverage royal connections for commercial gain.

Meghan Markle’s ‘calculated’ gesture toward King Charles III and Queen Camilla
According to an insider who spoke to the Examiner, Meghan has begun taking steps to improve her relationship with her father-in-law and Queen Camilla ahead of the planned visit. The source described a gift-giving gesture that appeared designed to signal goodwill and reconciliation.“Meghan put together this huge gift basket, and she and Harry added a sweet note,” the source told the publication, referencing what was reportedly sent to commemorate three years since the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. “They know that they need to include Camilla even if it’s a total pantomime.”The insider characterised the gesture as part of a broader reconciliation strategy. “Harry could not be happier. If they’re really going to win Charles over, she needs to be just as involved as he is. It was very calculated. She and Harry are pushing hard for this reconciliation,” the source said.The couple’s efforts to mend relations with the monarchy represent a significant departure from their public statements following their 2020 departure from royal duties, suggesting they are reassessing their position and priorities as they navigate their lives outside the formal royal structure.
