Meghan Markle is expected to miss Prince Harry’s ‘olive branch’ trip to the UK, a source has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex is reportedly planning to come back to the UK this summer to ‘prioritise mending his broken relationship with his family’.
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by royal commentator Kinsey Schofield.
Now let’s talk about another story that has emerged. According to Closer magazine, Prince Harry is planning an expensive trip back to Britain this summer.
The suggestion is that he’s a bit homesick, but mainly, this is an olive branch trip. He wants to come back and mend bridges with his family.
Good luck with that, Harry, especially after that ITV interview.
The main point of this story, though, Kinsey, is that if this trip does happen, apparently he’s going to come on his own.
Meghan, we’re told, is too busy with the American Riviera, her lifestyle website that hasn’t sold anything since its launch in March.
She’s also busy with her cooking series for Netflix, which is coming out very soon, so she’s likely involved in that as well.
The fact that Meghan is staying behind has led to speculation about the state of their marriage. Is it as solid as we think?
Perhaps it’s on the rocks. Harry might be feeling homesick, wanting to see his friends and pursue the forlorn dream of apologizing to the King and mending relationships.
However, it’s doubtful this will work. It’s unlikely William will ever talk to him again. The interesting part is that if this story is true, Harry will spend a significant amount of time apart from his wife, who won’t accompany him.
Meghan is reportedly very busy but also worried about being heckled and pursued by the British public, who no longer adore her. She loves being popular, but she isn’t popular in Britain anymore.
Kinsey, what do you make of all this?
Kinsey: Well, I live south of Harry and Meghan in Los Angeles, and I often hear that Prince Harry is homesick and doesn’t necessarily love the culture here in the States.
He misses some of his old friends. But, Kevin, it’s quite karmic that Prince Harry has spent the last four years complaining about a family that didn’t compromise to ensure his happiness, that were stubborn in their ways and unwilling to make sacrifices.
Yet, he married someone similar. The report suggests Meghan isn’t willing to bend to ensure his happiness either.
If Harry is happiest doing Invictus in Birmingham or spending the summer in the UK trying to mend fences, wouldn’t he want his significant other, the person he sacrificed everything for, to be there? It would help change the direction of these relationships.
If this story is true, coming from Closer Magazine, it would be very disappointing for Prince Harry.
Having made the same move myself, from London to Los Angeles, I know it’s a big adjustment. Many British people think moving to Los Angeles will be similar because they speak the same language, but the culture is very different.
I think Harry might be realizing that on a large scale.
Kevin: What we’ve been subjected to for the past four years feels like an extended teenage sulk from a middle-aged father of two. It’s like a never-ending soap opera. If Harry and Meghan want this to stop, they should probably stop doing interviews to complain about things that happened years ago.
They need to focus on the future and the opportunities they have. They lead very blessed lives, filled with wealth and privilege. Harry should be grateful every day and thank his lucky stars. He doesn’t seem to realize he won the lottery in life; instead, he thinks he’s lost it.
Kinsey, fabulous to talk to you as always. Have a great weekend.
