Meghan Markle doesn’t want to come back to the UK and “is not popular”, a royal expert has said.

Jennie Bond, a royal correspondent for the last 35 years, appeared on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive YouTube channel this week to discuss Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

During the discussion, Jennie said that Meghan is not popular in the UK and therefore wouldn’t return, even when Prince Harry does. The discussion comes after Harry was in the UK this week for the WellChild 2024 awards alone.

She told The Sun: “I think Meghan has her own independent style and way of life. Yes, it’s not in tune with the people in the UK.

“She’s not popular and I don’t think she wants to come back and therefore they are going their own ways, to an extent. But I hope and believe that Harry is very happy in his life.”

Royal expert Phil Dampier previously told The Sun: “”At the moment, Harry’s definitely branching out on his own.

“I think he’s decided that when they went on their trips, certainly the recent trip to Colombia, and before that to Nigeria, you can see that in those situations Meghan is very much the star, and tends to dominate proceedings and tends to attract the attention.

“I think he feels a little bit like a spare part, and I think that’s sort of dawned on him in the last few months, and so I think he’s definitely started to try and strike out on his own.”
