The Duchess of Sussex has been branded with the divisive nickname 'marmite' by royal expert Katie Nicholls as she prepares to return to the UK next month for the first time in four years. Speaking on The Royals Uncensored podcast, Nicholls said: 'She is the marmite of the royal family,' referring to the British spread that people either love or hate.
Meghan's UK Visit Details
Meghan, 44, is expected to travel with Prince Harry, 41, and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to attend a one-year countdown event for the Invictus Games 2027, which will be held in Birmingham. This marks her first UK visit since attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2022.
According to reports, the family-of-four have been offered a royal residence to stay in during their July visit, though further details remain limited. It is unclear whether they have scheduled a meeting with King Charles III.
Security Concerns and Public Perception
Prince Harry has cited security concerns as the primary reason for Meghan's limited visits to the UK since they stepped back from royal duties in 2020. The prince has expressed fears for his family's safety, which have been exacerbated by the duchess's controversial standing in Britain.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles between 2004 and 2011, added on the podcast: 'There are people that literally can't stand her.' The extent of Meghan's public appearances during the visit remains unknown, as does whether the family will accept the offer of a royal residence from the King.
