Royal expert Andrew Lownie has warned that Meghan Markle's return to the UK will not work, citing two major flaws that could sink the Sussexes' move. Prince Harry and Meghan are reportedly preparing to fly back across the Atlantic within days, bringing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with them.
The children have already been enrolled in an unnamed British school, with the family set to stay in a heavily guarded, non-royal private residence, with the Cotswolds rumoured as a possible location.
Expert's Warning on Cotswolds Life
Speaking on The Daily T podcast, Lownie said: "I can't see Meghan enjoying a Cotswolds winter with the rain coming down, and her mother a long way away. So I just can't see this working."
While royal fans speculated the couple might be returning for good six years after quitting the working monarchy, a source claims the move might only be temporary.
Temporary Stay Rumoured
A source told The Times: "It'll be an extended period of time - it could be six months, it could be a year, it could be more - I don't think even they know yet. They might suddenly go: 'Why don't we try Canada for a while? Why don't we try Australia?'"
Rumours are rife over the sudden relocation. Some suggest Harry is desperate to be closer to King Charles, while others claim Meghan is eyeing up a UK acting role, with reports linking her to Guy Ritchie's Netflix hit The Gentlemen - though counterclaims suggest the deal is off.
Arrival Plans and Public Opinion
The Sussexes plan to touch down before the end of August so Archie and Lilibet can settle before term starts. They will reportedly keep their £11m Montecito mansion and their holiday home in Portugal, while their two dogs will join them on the flight to Britain.
Many Brits are not too happy about the prospect of Harry and Meghan's return, with a YouGov poll suggesting that 33 per cent think they should not come back and 21 per cent think they should.
Decisions about whether taxpayers will foot the bill for their security remain unanswered. Harry and Meghan have yet to officially comment on the move.
