Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to land in the UK before the end of the month with their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, who have both been enrolled in British schools. Their decision to move back comes six years after they stepped down as senior working royals and relocated to Montecito, California.
Speculation has been rife over the reason for their return, with suggestions ranging from visa claims and concerns over King Charles' health to an alleged failure to crack America. Others believe the couple have run out of money.
TalkTV hosts question the motive
Former politician Simon Danczuk told TalkTV presenter Kevin O'Sullivan that he believes the Sussexes are returning to the UK to make use of King Charles' money. O'Sullivan alleged there is "something we don't know" and is certain there is an "ulterior motive" behind the move.
He said: "There is something we don't know. There's always something with these two. There's always some hidden ulterior motive.
"So, there's something in this saga that we have yet to learn because so far, I don't think anybody has put forward what sounds like a completely plausible reason for them coming back.
"It's all very well to say, 'Oh, they're a bit hard up.' Well, that could well be it. Her coming back because she's got a role in season three of The Gentleman. That's not the bloody reason, is it? We know that. So, I wonder what it is?"
'Spend more time with the King's money'
Sharing his thoughts, Danczuk suggested: "I think Harry and Megan are coming back to spend more time with King Charles's money."
O'Sullivan laughed: "Exactly! Yeah, that's what I reckon, Simon. I reckon it's pretty blatant that Harry is going to go to his dad and say, 'Dad, I need you to bail me out. I need some help.' I think it's as simple as that."
Danczuk added: "So do I. They are going to find out how unpopular they are when they arrive back in Britain. That book that Harry brought out, Spare, and everything that was in that was just appalling. People don't forget, do they? The British people have long memories."
