Since stepping out of the royal family in 2020, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has shown hesitancy to return to the UK, disappointing fans, especially her uncertain attitude towards her attendance at the upcoming Invincible Athletic Gala in London. Royal expert Charles Ray has said she "will not set foot in the UK again", a hesitation that has raised questions about her relationship with Harry's hometown and the factors that influenced her decision.
According to British media on April 8, a notable notable public reception occurred on Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Day in June 2022, when Meghan and Harry were booed as they left St. Paul's Cathedral. This could lead to Meghan's decision not to accompany Harry to King Charles' coronation in May 2023, as speculated by American news host Meghan Kelly.
Further, the couple's expulsion from their home in England, Frogmore Manor, by King Charles signifies a symbolic departure from the formal structures of the royal family and indicates a change in their relationship with the UK.
Speculation about Meghan's disgust with a return to Britain was sparked by royal experts and publications such as Charles Ray and Omid Scobie. Ray expressed skepticism about Meghan's return to the UK, suggesting a complete disconnect from the country. Similarly, the book "Endgame" shows that Meghan never felt at home in Britain and wanted to distance herself from the "soap opera of the court".
The controversy over the book "Endgame" has further exacerbated the situation, especially with regard to allegations of racial discrimination within the royal family. The book's claims, supported by Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey, add another layer to the tension between the couple and the royal establishment, which could lead to Meghan's hesitation to return.
With Harry set to visit London for the celebration of the Invincible Athletic Extravaganza, all eyes are on Meghan's potential attendance.
However, her attendance remains uncertain, considering that she has rarely returned to the UK since moving to California. Although Meghan had attended Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022, she did not attend the coronation of King Charles III, leaving Harry alone to attend, indicating the pattern of her disengagement from royal events.
While fans are eagerly anticipating an update on her attendance at the Invincible Athletic Extravaganza, the question of Meghan's future involvement in UK affairs remains unanswered.
