In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the United States and established a private life away from the royal family. Since then, Harry has returned to the United Kingdom twice, though Meghan has not returned at all.

According to a royal expert, if the couple would like to visit the U.K. in the near future, they should try to not “steal the spotlight” from other royals.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could return to the U.K. in the near future

There are some speculations that Harry and Meghan could make at least one trip to the U.K. in the near future.

In April, there will be a special memorial for Harry’s grandfather, the late Prince Philip. Harry did attend the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral in April 2021, just weeks after the Sussexes’ infamous Oprah Winfrey interview aired.

Then, in June, there will be a Platinum Jubilee celebration in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s 70th year on the throne.

According to royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti, Harry and Meghan typically attract a lot of attention everywhere they go. As such, they could outshine other royals if they attend events in the U.K.

“But I do still say that if they could come back and if they could not be front and center, keep it quiet but just come back to help celebrate this milestone not just for the Queen but for the whole country and for British history, then that will probably be very nice and it might rehabilitate them somewhat towards the British people,” Sacerdoti told Us Weekly.

He added, “But I don’t really think that’s their style anymore. They don’t like to do things quietly. They don’t like someone else to be the center of attention when they’re around. I think that where Harry and Meghan go, it’s the ‘Harry and Meghan Show.’ And I think that means it probably would be better if they didn’t come and steal the limelight from the queen.”

There have been speculations about Harry and Meghan returning to the U.K. that did not come to pass. For example, every Christmas, royal fans hope for the couple to join Harry’s family in celebrating the holiday in Sandringham. After Harry and Meghan welcomed their second child in June 2021, there were murmurs about the couple bringing their children to see family in the U.K.

As such, some people believe Harry and Meghan would, once again, not visit the U.K. anytime soon. According to author Tom Bower, Harry “can’t face his family,” especially when he is releasing a memoir later this year that could potentially include negative stories about other royals.

“I think Harry won’t come back because he knows he cannot face his family, and be pleasant with them, knowing what he’s written about them in that book,” Bower told Closer. “That book will have a lot of casualties and cause a lot of hurt. It will really deliver, as Harry knows it has to, to justify the money he’s been paid to do it. How can Harry come back and pretend it’s all fine? The worst of what he will say is yet to come.”
