The Duchess of Sussex will “most likely” not make any trips to the UK in 2024 according to a royal expert. Royal commentator, Richard Fitzwilliams, told GB News: “I don’t think Meghan will wish to visit the UK.
“The Sussexes are totally unpredictable, that is one of the problems in dealing with them.” He added: “Does Meghan want to come to the UK? She is very low in poll ratings, the interest in them is in the US.
“I don’t see Meghan wanting to visit the UK, there is no reason for it.” The last time Meghan Markle was in the UK was for the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral service in September 2022, held at Westminster Abbey. Meghan attended the funeral alongside Prince Harry and wider members of the Royal Family.
For King Charles’s coronation, Prince Harry came back to the UK on his own in May after Meghan decided to stay away from the landmark event. Harry’s appearance in the UK was only brief, as he was spotted making a swift exit after the ceremony.
Reports at the time stated there were “genuine concerns” members of the public could boo Meghan if she visited events in Britain, in the wake of her controversial Oprah Winfrey interview.
