Royal Drama Unfolds: Meghan Markle Disinterested in Prince Harry’s Plan to Buy UK House
Meghan Markle appears to have little enthusiasm for Prince Harry's intention to purchase a property near his family in the United Kingdom.
Despite reports suggesting that the former royal couple was exploring the possibility of acquiring a new home around his relatives, Markle has expressed her reluctance to return to Britain while Harry is present there.
The Duke of Sussex, who along with his wife departed the UK in 2020, reportedly contemplated the idea of relocating back to the UK, leading to conflicting views between the couple.
Although they had initially agreed to reside at Frogmore Cottage, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now seem disinclined to move to their Kensington estate.
Instead, they are planning to procure their own residence near London.
Sources indicate that the couple will imminently commence their search for a property in close proximity to London, with Harry taking a significant role in this endeavor.
Despite previous issues at Frogmore Cottage, they have opted not to request land on the royal estate.
While occasional use of a small apartment in Kensington Palace remains a possibility, their primary focus is on acquiring a home in the UK independently.
Renowned royal expert Duncan Larcombe has affirmed that Harry's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibeth, desire to establish a base in the UK to foster connections with their extended family members.
Nevertheless, a royal commentator asserted that there have been no indications from Meghan suggesting her interest in returning to the UK temporarily or otherwise.
It is believed that Harry has stronger incentives to revisit the UK compared to Meghan, particularly due to his professional engagements in London, such as the Invictus Games.
Speculation arises that the couple may eventually settle in the UK, given Harry's connections and potential commitments in the country.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have distanced themselves from the royal establishment since their decision to step back from official duties and relocate to the United States earlier this year.
The publication of Harry's forthcoming memoir has further strained their relationship with the royal family, with revelations about internal dynamics causing controversy.
Amidst the ongoing rift, Harry and Meghan find themselves excluded from the guest list for the King's upcoming 75th birthday celebration.
Despite initial claims suggesting their refusal to attend, royal commentator Angela Levin opined that Harry remains resolute in his stance, insisting on receiving apologies from certain family members before reengaging with them.
As the saga surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continues to captivate public attention, the intricacies of their personal and royal lives unfold against the backdrop of familial discord and diverging aspirations.
