Concerns are mounting over a potential reunion between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the Royal Family, with experts warning that such an event could provoke a strong backlash from the British public.

As Prince Harry approaches his 40th birthday this month, there is speculation that he may seek a fresh start with his family in the UK, particularly given his father’s recent cancer diagnosis. Insiders suggest that Harry is consulting trusted allies to plan his return.

However, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has voiced significant concerns about the potential repercussions of such a reunion. Fitzwilliams warned that while Harry and Meghan’s return could rekindle interest in the monarchy among disillusioned younger audiences, it could also alienate traditional supporters. Speaking to The Daily Express, he said, “Most supporters of the monarchy would be appalled at the prospect of the Sussexes appearing at Trooping the Colour or at Christmas. Their presence would surely detract from the serious work the royal family does throughout the year.”

Since stepping down as a senior royal in early 2020 and relocating to Montecito, California, Harry has distanced himself from royal duties. He and Meghan now live with their children, Archie and Lilibet. Despite rumors that Harry might be reconsidering his public role, well-placed sources indicate that he is content in California and has no plans to return to royal duties. He has previously expressed concerns about the safety of bringing his family back to the UK due to potential security risks.

In a recent interview, Harry emphasized these concerns, stating, “It’s still dangerous. All it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read. Whether it’s a knife or acid, these are things that are of genuine concern for me.” This statement reflects ongoing issues with security arrangements, as Harry no longer qualifies for the same level of protection he had as a working royal.

The Royal Family’s response to any potential reunion will be closely watched, as public opinion remains divided on how such a high-profile event might impact the monarchy’s image and operations.
