Meghan Markle has apparently made an about-face with her decision to join Prince Harry for a visit to the United Kingdom, but it remains quite unclear how she will be received by the British.
Since stepping back from royal duties and publicly attacking the royal family and the British way of life, the Duchess of Sussex is reportedly accompanying her husband and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, for a much-anticipated return.
The family is expected to participate in Invictus Games promotional events in mid-July. However, confirmation is still pending.
Now royal expert Ingrid Seward believes there may be two main reasons behind Meghan’s decision to make a return to the UK despite her years of “whining”.
First of all, it’s about putting an end to Prince Harry’s divorce rumors by supporting his partner. Second, gaining royal approval for his lifestyle brand, As Ever, during a time of financial crisis.
The royal author said: “They need to come, or more accurately, Meghan needs to come. She really needs a little royal stardust sprinkled on her and her business if she wants it to succeed.
“She’s probably hoping a visit to the UK would bring that to her, so she has to make it work somehow.”
However, the Duchess is in crisis when she reflects on how the British receive her, when they had previously “rejected” her.
“This could be a very good decision for her business, but it leaves her in a bit of a crisis, because coming to a country where she is so hated will not be easy,” Ingrid said.
