Many wonder what the future holds for the Commonwealth as they recognize it

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle find it difficult to stay out of the headlines, although the blame for that can’t realistically be placed at their door.

Ever since leaving the United Kingdom and renouncing their royal duties, the duo have been living in North America.

What was initially supposed to be the start of a life in Canada quickly turned into the epitome of the Hollywood lifestyle, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began a whirlwind media tour in the United States.

However, with rumors about the state of their marriage continuing to hit the front pages, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s upcoming visit to Canada for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler in February 2025 has raised concerns among senior aides about a potential Commonwealth crisis.

A well-placed source revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s past remarks about their concerns regarding the 56-member state association have sparked numerous discussions within the Palace on how to manage their connection to Canada.

“Harry and Meghan haven’t exactly been very supportive in the past,” the source explained to the New York Post.

“This trip is flagged as highly important due to fears that any negative comments about the union during their visit could jeopardize the Commonwealth.

“There have even been talks about trying to bring Harry and Meghan back on side to mitigate any incidents while they promote the Invictus Games.”

At one point, there was speculation that Harry might take on an official role in Canada. However, this plan was abandoned when the Sussexes relocated from Canada to Montecito, California.

Meghan has a close bond with Canada as she used to live there while filming Suits,” the source added.

“The initial plan was for them to establish a base there, with Harry taking on a semi-official role, but it didn’t work out, so they moved to the United States.”
