Megan Markle’s ‘Confinement’: Hollywood Duchess Could Only Meet With ‘3 Certain Royals’ If She Ever Returned to Britain

Meghan Markle likely has a good reason why she has not returned to Britain since September 2022. Sources close to both the palace and the Sussex household have suggested that the ex-actress could find herself in "confinement" if she came back to King Charles III's kingdom.

Royal expert Jennie Bond said both she and the Duke of Sussex "could be confined, I think, to meetings with [King] Charles, and perhaps [Princesses] Eugenie and Beatrice. The rest of the family would have to think hard about the implications of meeting Harry and Meghan," Bond added before pointing out that the pair could bring Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet Diana, 2, with them.

The Sussex family is expected to visit England in May upon the 10th-anniversary celebrations of the founding of Prince Harry's Invictus Games.

"Harry is very keen for his entire family to join him," a source spilled. "It's important for him that they show a united front and focus on building bridges with the rest of the royal family."

The fifth in line to the throne is expected to return to his homeland in May for the 10th-anniversary celebrations of his Invictus Games. The event is scheduled to occur at the historic St Paul's Cathedral, which is where his parents, King Charles III and Diana, Princess of Wales, wed in 1981. The steps of St Paul's are also where he and the Duchess of Sussex were booed by crowds during the Platinum Jubilee service for Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022.

The source continued: "The move to bring the Invictus Games back to Britain is seen as an opportunity for Harry, and he is very keen to take it. He is adamant that he wants Meghan and the children to join him, but I think she may be apprehensive, and I think she finds being in the U.K. very uncomfortable."

"Meghan knows that she hasn’t been wanted in the past, so why would it be any different this time around?" the insider asked.

The former Suits star has not been in the nation, which arguably made her world-famous, since the state funeral of Elizabeth II in September 2022. It is rumored that she and Harry's daughter, Lilibet Diana, who is a princess of royal blood and seventh-in-line to Great Britain's throne, only met her grandfather, the King, once, during the summer of 2022.

"When it comes to relations between the royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, we're looking at a burnt-out bombsite where a family used to be," royal commentator Jan Moir told a publication. "Relations are at rock bottom; clemency is in the deep freeze. The outstretched hand has been withdrawn, and the peace pipe has been doused with a thousand duchessy tears. It is over."

The New York Post reported on the expert opinions.
