Meghan Markle has once again been reminded that the UK isn’t exactly eager to welcome her back.
A renowned London nightclub, once a favorite haunt of Prince Harry and Prince William, is making a grand return, but with one very clear rule—Meghan is not invited. Carlo Carello, co-owner of the newly rebranded venue, Gallery (formerly known as BGI), made his stance unmistakable when he told the Daily Mail, “Everyone is welcome except Meghan. I don’t like her.”
This isn’t just any ordinary nightclub; its walls hold a rich history intertwined with the British royal family. Prince William and Catherine reportedly had one of their early dates here, sharing the club’s signature cocktail shots called "Crack Babies," a mix of vodka, passion fruit juice, strawberries, and Champagne. Prince Harry was also a frequent guest during his wild bachelor days, undoubtedly making a scene before meeting the woman who would ultimately lead him away from his old life of revelry. Now, under new management, the message is crystal clear—Harry is welcome, but his wife is not.
While the club’s doors remain open to Prince William, Catherine, and even Princess Beatrice, Meghan is left out in the cold. Could she attempt to make an appearance? Unlikely, as even she must realize she wouldn't receive a warm welcome. Judging by Carello’s comments, she might not even make it past the velvet rope. Naturally, this revelation has ignited a firestorm of online reactions, ranging from amused laughter to outright mockery. Some are hailing Carello as an excellent judge of character, while others note that this is just another addition to the growing list of places where Meghan isn’t exactly embraced. One commenter summed it up best: “Everyone is welcome except Meghan. I don’t like her,” suggesting this sentiment might be more widespread than she’d care to admit. Another quipped, “She won’t be turning up because even she knows she’s not wanted there. She’s famous for crashing events, but not this one. That’s got to sting.” Perhaps the most biting remark of all pointed out the strategic brilliance of the club’s stance—by banning Meghan, they’ve effectively excluded Harry as well, without directly insulting him.
Spare a thought for Harry in all this. His old haunt is back in business, his friends are still around, the vodka shots are still flowing, yet if he wants to attend, he’ll be doing so alone. If his friends, his family, and now even his favorite nightclubs are all sending the same message—"We like you, but not her"—at what point does he start putting the pieces together? Perhaps it’s time for Harry to take a step back and reevaluate his choices. He has lost his family, his country, and now even his drinking buddies. Maybe, just maybe, the issue isn’t with everyone else.
Realistically, Meghan was never going to fly back to the UK for a casual night out, but knowing she has been explicitly banned from a place that once welcomed her husband with open arms must still sting. The message from Britain is loud and clear—Meghan Markle is about as welcome as a downpour at Wimbledon.
