In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they were renouncing their obligations to the British crown and months later they finally settled in the United States; Now, it seems, they would have financial pressures
More than three years ago, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a radical decision when they stepped down from their duties as members of the British royal family. That announcement was truly controversial and, for a time, led to the traditional silence on the part of Buckingham Palace when it is involved in sc---als. This was followed by the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from the United Kingdom, first to Canada and then to the United States, where they currently live.
But what would happen if the couple decided to rejoin real life?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may not find it easy to return to one of Europe's oldest monarchies, according to an expert. Since they moved to Montecito, they began to make a life in California, then Archie was born and later Lilibet.
Although they were part of the headlines in both the United Kingdom and the United States on several occasions, in just over three years, they have rarely returned to Harry's lands. In fact, since leaving the monarchy, the dukes have launched several public attacks, including the Harry and Meghan series on Netflix and Spare, the prince's autobiographical book.
Now consulted about it, a royal expert considered that the reinstatement of the marriage would be uncomfortable. “This would be one of the strangest events in real history if they came back, after all the attacks,” Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News.
In that sense, Fitzwilliams was emphatic when he expressed that it would be a “humiliation” for the marriage. According to the British media, the Sussexes would be under financial pressure to be able to afford the exclusive lifestyle they currently have, without the support of the crown.
Likewise, there are rumors that Harry had recently approached William, current Prince of Wales, to discuss the possibility of the family group of four returning to the United Kingdom. For her part, Fitzwilliams maintained that Markle had been “horrified” by this gesture by her husband towards her brother and Princess Kate.
While some have their attention focused on Harry and Meghan's return, others remain intrigued by recent rumors of interest in purchasing a new home. After the $20 million deal with Spotify fell apart, the duchess would be focused on the contract she signed with talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME).
In addition to the interest in expanding her media profile as a producer, philanthropist and content creator with the connections that this company offers, she would also be interested in leaving the mansion where she lives, in Montecito, and where she has neighbors like Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow or Ellen Degeneres.
