Meghan Markle would not return to the United Kingdom ‘if she can help it,’ according to a royal expert, after her ‘monarchy bashing’ interview with Oprah Winfrey led her to lose the respect and love of the British people.
While Prince Harry is scheduled to meet with his elder brother Prince William at Kensington Palace in July for what would have been their mother Princess Diana’s 60th birthday, royal biographer Anna Pasternak told Fox News that Meghan is unlikely to accompany him.
“Will Meghan Markle return to the U.K.? My speculative answer would be no, not if she can help it,” the royal author said.
“Sadly, I cannot see her ever becoming a loved and cherished member of the royal family with the unified respect and adoration of the British people” Pasternak said. “I think that ship has sailed.”
Meghan and Harry have faced a barrage of criticism in the United Kingdom as a result of their participation in Oprah’s tell-all interview, and Meghan is expected to remain in the United States since she is pregnant with the couple’s second child, a baby girl, due in the summer.
The royals are known for keeping family issues private, so the choice to talk to Oprah will not have gone down well with The Firm.

The two-hour interview aired on CBS on March 7. The Duke of Sussex, 36, claimed that he had had a falling out his father, Prince Charles, 72, and elder brother, William, 38.
Meghan also claimed that their son Archie was refused the title of prince because of his skin tone, while Harry stated that his family is ‘trapped’ in the monarchy.
Pasternak earlier wrote a novel called “The Real Wallis Simpson,” about another American divorcee who married a prince. The British author hunted down Simpson’s final surviving circle of close friends, all of whom wanted to clear the air about her tumultuous past.
Many people believe the interview demonstrated a “total lack of respect for the monarchy and, in a sense, for the British,” according to Pasternak, since the Royal Family is “part of the British psyche.”
She said: “Many people feel the interview was a total lack of respect for the monarchy and in a sense, for the British.
“Because the monarchy is part of the British psyche.
‘This monarchy bashing can also be viewed as British bashing,’ she said. ‘And from personal knowledge, it is understood that Prince Charles, Prince William, Duchess Kate Middleton and the Queen – they were just so shocked and saddened.’
Several assertions made in the interview have been debunked, including the allegation that they married three days before the Windsor wedding.
Markle reported having suicide thoughts as a member of the royal family because she felt so lonely and unhappy. Markle was allegedly informed she couldn’t get mental health treatment from the palace’s human resources department since she wasn’t a paid employee.
After declaring intentions to stand down from his responsibilities, Harry reportedly informed the media mogul, 67, that the royal family cut him off financially from the start of 2020. However, because to the money Diana left behind, he was able to provide security for his family.
People were ‘thrilled’ for Harry when he met Meghan and loved her and their ‘incredible wedding,’ according to Pasternak, but the pair ‘didn’t stay long enough’ and ‘criticized the whole thing,’ which ‘felt like they were throwing it back in our faces.’
‘In the beginning, we really took to Meghan because she wasn’t an aristocrat… She was actually this really ambitious, wonderful woman. So I think in some ways, many people in Britain do feel betrayed by her,’ she said.
“We absolutely embraced her,” said Pasternak. “We embraced this incredible wedding. We were thrilled with the ‘Markle Sparkle’. And we were thrilled for Harry, who was our nation’s son in a way. We all watched him walk behind his mother’s coffin and all of our hearts went out to him.
“We loved Harry and we were thrilled for him when he found this beautiful American actress for a wife. We genuinely were. But they didn’t stay long enough and kind of went into this self-imposed exile. Not only that, but they criticised the whole thing, which felt like they were throwing it back into our faces.”
During the interview, Harry expressed his dissatisfaction with his family’s lack of support for Markle, who admitted her lack of understanding about royal life before marrying the prince, as she faced media assaults and false stories.
