Meghan Markle is unlikely to ever return to the royal fold as Prince William and Kate Middleton make her "uncomfortable", says one royal expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and moved to California to start their new lives. Meghan, 42, has only returned to the UK a handful of times since then including the Queen's funeral last September, but was noticeably absent from King Charles coronation which Harry attended alone.
Tensions have been high between the Sussexes and the Royal Family since moving Stateside, following the release of their Netflix series Harry & Meghan and the Duke's tell-all memoir Spare. Royal author Clive Irving told the Express that it’s “unlikely ever to see Meghan in the same frame as [Prince] William and Kate.”
He went on: “I don’t think [Markle] is comfortable with them because they’re not comfortable with her. I think it’s basically Harry’s appearances that will matter now, not her.”
“Harry and Meghan’s celebrity used to rest on the former’s connection to the royal family, but they’ve now been celebrities in their own right for so long that they don’t need to trade on that anymore,” Irving said.
He continued: “That’s no longer part of their lives.”
He added that Meghan likely won’t be attending many royal engagements anymore as she allegedly doesn’t want to be “accused of embarrassing” King Charles or “being a burden on the monarchy.”
Meghan and Kate have had a strenuous relationship since the former actress started dating Harry. The Duke shed some light on the rift between the sister-in-laws in Spare where he detailed a row Meghan and Kate had about bridesmaid dresses for their 2018 wedding.
Harry claimed Meghan received a text from Kate about the dresses
