Reports are swirling that the historic Brighton Pavilion might once again serve as a royal residence, with Meghan and Harry considering a return to the UK.
This potential move comes amid health issues affecting King Charles III and the Princess of Wales, curtailing their royal duties. The Sussexes' spokesperson revealed that Harry and Meghan are open to rejoining royal responsibilities, provided they have a suitable residence in Sussex, rather than residing in Windsor or London. Talks are reportedly underway to designate Brighton's Royal Pavilion as their official UK home.
The Royal Pavilion, originally conceived by George, Prince of Wales, later known as the Prince Regent, was a testament to his extravagant lifestyle. Situated near the sea in Brighton, the prince tasked architect Henry Holland with crafting a neoclassical masterpiece, initially named The Marine Pavilion. According to national day newspaper correspondent, The Honorable Oliver SP Little, Meghan insists on a residence of significant stature to reflect her importance, while Harry is drawn to the Pavilion's proximity to pubs, the sea, and the Prince Regent Pools, as well as its convenience for various activities, including slot machines.
However, not all are enthusiastic about this prospect. Green counselor Saffron Lentle-Rice expressed concerns about potential disruptions to cycle lanes and bus routes due to increased security measures around the Pavilion. Local sentiment in Sussex reflects skepticism and rejection towards Meghan and Harry's return, with concerns raised about the impact on beloved traditions like the annual Valley Gardens Alpaca Racing event.
Recent reports indicate a shift in Meghan's stance towards returning to the UK. Speculation suggests she might join Prince Harry for a public appearance at the 10th-anniversary service of the Invictus Games at St. Paul's Cathedral. Despite previous reluctance to set foot on UK soil, sources close to the situation hint at Megan's changed perspective, with plans for a discreet appearance at the event, amidst ongoing public scrutiny.
