A royal professional told The Sun that there is “genuine concern” that Meghan will definitely get a worst reception ever of her life when she will be back in U.K.
Daily Mail reported, “There are genuine concerns that she could be booed at an event attended by members of the public given her current unpopularity in the UK as a result of the Oprah interview.”
YouGov poll revealed that only 29% British like Meghan and 61% don’t carry a favorable view for her. Meanwhile, only 49 percent like Harry, while around 40 percent dislike him. Meghan and Harry’s popularity are still lower than that of much of the rest of the royal family.
All this happen soon after a series of shocking claims in her interview with Oprah. She made claims of racism from the royal family for her baby Archie’s skin. Harry refused to name this family member, only saying that it was neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Philip. Meghan also claimed that she felt suicidal during pregnancy after being isolated at one point.
Later, after two days Buckingham Palace released a brief statement.
“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan,” the royal family said in a statement obtained by Fox News. “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much-loved family members.”
Meghan didn’t visit the U.K. with Harry to attend the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip because of her pregnancy with her second child, and doctors advised her to not travel. There are also no known plans in place for Meghan to return to the U.K. at any time shortly.
