Harry and Meghan’s Return to the Royal Family? Experts Say ‘Not So Fast’ Despite Birthday Wishes

“Harry and Meghan’s Return to the Royal Family? Experts Say ‘Not So Fast’ Despite Birthday Wishes”

Prince Harry and Meghan Stepping Back, Explained - The New York Times

The Royal Family’s relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been anything but ordinary since the couple stepped back from their royal duties in 2020. With the release of several controversial documentaries, interviews, and a highly publicized departure from royal life, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have remained at the center of global media attention. But despite all the drama, could there be a possibility of a return to royal life for Harry and Meghan?

The Royal Birthday Gesture: A Sign of Reconciliation?

Recently, the Royal Family extended a public birthday greeting to Prince Harry, sparking speculation among the media and fans alike. Could this be a sign that the royal rift is starting to heal? Not quite, according to royal experts. While the birthday message was seen as a gesture of politeness and formality, many experts argue that it doesn’t signify a softening stance from Buckingham Palace.

Prince Harry, who celebrated his 40th birthday earlier this year, received a simple, neutral birthday wish from the official Royal Family accounts. Although the greeting was polite, it was also distant, lacking the warmth or personal touch that might accompany a closer family relationship.

No Warm Welcomes Yet: The Cold Reality of Royal Relationships

Despite public attempts to show courtesy, royal experts emphasize that Harry and Meghan’s potential return to the royal fold remains unlikely, at least in the near future. According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam, “The royal family’s reaction has been cautious and guarded. It is clear that the wounds of the past have not healed, and while the birthday message was a polite formality, there’s no indication that they’re ready to welcome Harry and Meghan back into the fold with open arms.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s explosive interviews, particularly their 2021 tell-all with Oprah Winfrey, painted a picture of deep-rooted tensions within the royal family. From accusations of racism to claims of emotional neglect, the couple’s allegations have placed them at odds with some of their closest relatives, including Prince William and King Charles.

What Does It Mean for Harry and Meghan?

As Harry and Meghan continue to carve their own path in the U.S., pursuing business ventures, activism, and media projects, the idea of rejoining the royal family seems like a distant dream for many. In fact, royal experts believe that any major changes in their status would require a significant shift in public opinion, both within the family and across the Commonwealth.

“The royals will have to make significant efforts to heal the rift with Harry and Meghan,” said historian and royal expert Dr. Andrew Roberts. “But given the nature of the couple’s departure and the media attention surrounding their every move, it’s hard to see a genuine reconciliation happening anytime soon.”

Harry and Meghan’s New Path: Will They Ever Return?

While rumors continue to swirl about the couple’s future within the royal family, one thing remains clear: Harry and Meghan are committed to building their own empire. With their Netflix series, Meghan’s podcast, and Harry’s book Spare, the couple has shown little desire to return to royal life in any traditional sense. Instead, they’ve forged a new path as influential public figures, challenging the traditional royal script.

Final Thoughts: A Rift That Won’t Easily Heal

So, what does all of this mean for the future of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the eyes of the Royal Family? While a polite birthday message may suggest some semblance of civility, it’s far from a clear path back into royal circles. If anything, the ongoing tensions, coupled with their refusal to abide by the royal conventions, suggest that their time in the spotlight as “Sussex Royals” is truly over.

For now, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have to find their place outside the monarchy—and perhaps, that’s where they’re meant to be.
