Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s permanent return to UK is very ‘possible’
Back across the pond?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could soon be making a permanent return to the UK, according to King Charles’ former butler.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, is believed to be “very keen” on being let back into the royal fold, and he could be doing just that arm in arm with the “Suits” alum.
“It’s difficult to say given everything that has gone on and the trust that has been broken down whether they could return as full-time royals, but I’ve always said if Harry did return to the UK, it is possible,” Grant Harrold, who worked for the monarch for seven years when Charles was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.
Still, Harrold noted that the family has some feuds to squash before conversations about a reunion could be had.
“He could have a discussion with his brother about resuming his royal duties, but obviously there is so much that has happened over the last couple of years and that needs to be sorted out before the Sussexes made a permanent return,” the royal expert noted.
“I don’t think it would be impossible — when I was working for the royal family, I saw how close William and Harry were, I don’t think that’s a relationship that is too far gone to be healed or fixed.”
The former royal butler this week said the father of two — who lost his bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection for his family — is still “privy to top-secret information,” despite being estranged from most of his loved ones.
“Technically, he is able to step in for the king. If he wasn’t still Counsellor of State, then that would be a very different matter,” Harrold said.
As for Harry and Meghan’s potential joint trip to the UK, Harrold says the British public could soon be seeing the Sussexes back on Harry’s home soil.
“Depending on how things progress, it’s possible that Meghan and the family will come over and show her support for her husband’s family,” he added, on behalf of Slingo.
“Charles loves his family, so I hope that possibly this year we see a visit from Harry, Meghan and the whole family.”
While Harry is “keen” on making a return to the UK, Markle, 42, is said to be “apprehensive” about the idea.
