Prince Harry has been urged to return to the UK by royal expert Tina Brown, who described the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's situation in America as 'sad'. In an interview with the New York Times, Brown claimed Harry has been reduced to 'just some guy doing PR gigs' and that the couple are now 'pariahs' in the US.
Brown, a former friend of Princess Diana, criticised Meghan Markle's professional decisions, stating: 'I have never seen anybody in professional life make as many mistakes as Meghan has. And unfortunately, Harry is not the brightest bulb.' She added that Harry believed Meghan would guide him outside the royal family, but instead she has made 'one terrible professional decision after another'.
The comments come amid a series of controversies for the couple, including a clash over Remembrance engagements with Prince William. Harry's office announced a trip to Canada just minutes after William's first Brazil visit, leading to claims that the Palace had not been informed despite a spokesman saying otherwise. A source described the situation as 'a bit rum'.
Brown noted that Harry was 'very good at being a Prince'—charming, upbeat, and good with young people—but believes he has realised this too late. 'It looks more and more as if Harry's best decision would be to find a way to come back to England,' she said, though she acknowledged that reconciliation with his family, particularly William, is becoming harder.
Harry recently wrote an essay for The Independent on what it means to be British, using the word 'currently' to describe his US residence. Communications expert Judi James interpreted this as a hint that a return to the UK 'might be on the horizon', suggesting Harry may be homesick and open to moving back.
