Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's American dream is showing signs of strain, with insiders suggesting a permanent return to the UK could be on the cards. The couple's recent UK visit for the Invictus Games 2027 countdown in Birmingham was a PR mixed bag: they successfully avoided the cameras, but also missed public engagements, sparking criticism.
Business and Social Setbacks in the US
Key money-making ventures, such as their Netflix deal and Harry's book 'Spare', have wound down. Some TV executives have reportedly grown weary of the Sussexes' narratives, while Meghan has allegedly fallen out with influential figures like Dame Anna Wintour. The Vogue editor is rumored to have disapproved of the couple's criticism of the Royal Family and Meghan's guest-editing of British Vogue.
Feeling Unwelcome
An ally of Prince Harry reportedly admitted there is "a feeling that the American dream might not be all that it was cracked up to be." The friend added that "there is definitely a feeling in his camp that he has started to feel a bit unwelcome in America," noting an "increasing and significant shift in sentiment."
Potential Return Route
It is claimed Harry and Meghan could use their holiday home in Portugal as a staging post back to the UK, though any return is not said to be permanent or imminent. However, the couple face challenges in the UK, having strained relations with the public and citing safety concerns that prevent them from attending planned events.
