Recent reports suggest that Meghan Markle has made some astonishing demands concerning the Princess of Wales title.
It appears that Meghan is considering a return to the UK with her children, Archie and Lilibet, but only under certain conditions. Among her stipulations are a grand castle and a substantial financial package. According to royal insiders, Meghan’s primary condition for reentering the UK is to assume Princess Catherine's role—a position that garners immense global attention and the prestigious title of Princess of Wales. The notion of replacing Catherine, reportedly the object of Meghan's jealousy, is central to her demands.
Royal expert Angela Levin has disclosed that Meghan has made it clear she will not return to the UK unless she secures the title and the accompanying perks. This revelation has sparked discussions about whether Meghan’s motives are driven by jealousy towards Princess Catherine. Levin further explains that Meghan is not only seeking a distinguished title but also desires a large residence and considerable wealth. This demand is particularly striking given Meghan’s previous complaints about not being compensated for her royal duties.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry seems to be seeking advice from former aides on how to re-enter royal life, indicating that their Californian dreams of independence, Netflix deals, and high-profile interviews may not be as satisfying as anticipated. Royal commentator Angela Levin has criticized Harry for wanting to play the victim while simultaneously expecting a warm welcome back into the royal fold. Levin points out that the late Queen Elizabeth II was adamant about no "half-in, half-out" Royals, yet Harry appears to be disregarding this principle, hoping to maintain a foot in both worlds.
Turning back to Meghan’s aspirations, Levin suggests that Meghan's pursuit of the Princess of Wales title is driven by a desire to become a global brand and influencer. This ambition faces significant obstacles, and Meghan is now targeting a role that could offer her the fame and recognition she yearns for. It’s worth noting that Meghan and Harry once envisioned a royal life free of the mundane duties, focusing instead on travel, adoration, and influencing global affairs. While Meghan’s passion for the spotlight is well-known, Harry seems to be nostalgic for the simplicity of royal life.
Angela Levin also indicates that Meghan’s reluctance to return to the UK without substantial upgrades to her status reflects her deep-seated desire for enhanced visibility and influence. Prince William, on the other hand, is reportedly firm in his stance and has already restricted Harry’s potential return to royal duties. As such, it is likely that Meghan’s dreams of exchanging titles with Catherine will not materialize. William remains dedicated to his responsibilities and appears uninterested in engaging with Harry’s victim narrative or Meghan’s extravagant demands.
Additionally, Levin notes that Meghan’s public relations troubles continue to escalate, with the recent departure of another PR head further complicating her global branding efforts. This contrasts sharply with the unwavering loyalty of long-serving royal staff, highlighting the instability surrounding Meghan’s team. With the Californian project unraveling and resistance from the royal family thwarting any potential return to the UK, it remains uncertain what steps Meghan and Harry will take next if their demands for the Princess of Wales title and royal lifestyle are unmet.
