Multiple sources have told the Daily Mail that Meghan Thee Duchess of Sussex is “unlikely” to be in tow when Prince Harry returns to the UK. What about baby Archie?
Insiders are saying that while the pandemic is still crimping travel plans, there are three major royal events that would be hard for Harry to pass up.
The sources stress that Harry will be back in the UK to see his family but probably without Meghan and Archie. Why? According to the sources it is for purely benevolent reasons that Meghan chooses to avoid her in-laws.
They claim that her presence would overshadow the actual event itself and she would never do such a thing! So, if Meghan doesn’t accompany Harry, no one should see this as a “snub” it is merely Meghan’s way of doing the royals a favor and is based purely on “practical” reasons. Got that?
If this reasoning sounds to you like PR spin being trotted out in plenty of time before Meghan’s snub, er favor, don’t be so jaded!
One source said, “It should be strongly stressed that there is still an element of uncertainty about this because of the unpredictable Covid situation, but the understanding is the duke is more than likely to come back on his own.”
“This is a personal and practical decision by the couple, but it would certainly help officials navigate what is likely to be a fairly tricky situation.”
