\n

They\u2019re also expected to attend other engagements relating to their passions and patronages. It will mark the first time the Sussex couple returns to Harry\u2019s home country in four years. They are expected to bring their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But a royal author gave a brutal verdict about their return, saying it can be summarised into two words: \u201cdesperation” and “failure\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Author Tom Bower spoke to Tom Sykes\u2019s The Royalist podcast and blasted the couple for returning to the institution they publicly \u201cshunned\u201d six years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals in early 2020 to pursue a financially independent life outside the Royal Family. Since then, they have embarked on several business ventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Bower said: \u201cI think you can summarise it [the Sussex return] in two words: desperation and failure,\u201d he told Tom Sykes on The Royalist<\/a> podcast. \u201cThey\u2019ve run out of ideas, and their finances are basically in jeopardy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAnd Meghan is someone who is desperate for fame. She\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The author said a return to Britain will be \u201cworse\u201d for Harry, as he is allegedly \u201cisolated\u201d in California, where he lives with his family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Bower said that the Duke \u201cmisses his roots\u201d and wants to \u201cworm his way back\u201d into the good books of not only the royals but of the British public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said: \u201cWe\u2019re seeing them effectively crawl on bended knees back to Britain, and they are to be pathetically grateful if the king agrees.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It has not been confirmed if the King will meet his American grandchildren.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, reports have previously claimed that the monarch is upset over his estranged relationship with Archie and Lilibet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
