Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, ready to return to live in UK - expert says

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex may be ready to move back to the UK after a warm public reaction to her appearance in the country this week an expert has claimed. Meghan was warmly welcomed as she stepped out with husband Prince Harry and her in-laws the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The four royals spent 45 minutes meeting with the crowds who had gathered to mourn Queen Elizabeth in Windsor. One teenager in the crowd gave her a hug. They chatted briefly before Meghan comforted her her and put her hand on the teenager's shoulder, reports The Mirror.

Royal expert Neil Sean says the public response to the Duchess will have encouraged her to feel that she is liked in the UK, and could mean she is ready to "return to the UK at some point". Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said: "Meghan was ready and willing to meet the public.

"She was terrified about how the public might perceive her particularly over here in the UK but all those fears were pushed away very quickly. Meghan now feels validated because the British people do like her.

"You can understand how this could be the case because there she is in a very delicate situation and there's the crowd happy to see her. For her now, what she really feels is that they are ready and willing to embrace their return at some point back to the UK.

"What happened on Saturday proves she is liked but it's not just the British public that have to forgive her, it's senior members of the monarchy."

During the Windsor appearance the crowd cheered the Royal group . Julie Watson, 56, who was in the crowd said it "lovely" to see them all together.

Her daughters Skye, 13, and Faye, 10, shook hands with both Kate and Meghan.

Before the Queen's lying in state began a brief service for the reception of the coffin was held, with the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, giving the opening prayer.

The service was conducted with the congregation standing and lining the ancient hall was the wider royal family as the King with the Queen Consort stood at the head of their family, with the monarch’s siblings behind, and his sons and their partners William and Kate and Harry and Meghan.

Oprah Winfrey, who conducted the interview where Meghan made bombshell allegations about the Royal family, says she hopes the Queen’s death will allow the family to come together and provide “an opportunity for peacemaking”.

The US talk show host sat down with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2021 for a widely publicised and explosive interview.

Winfrey made the remarks while attending the 2022 Toronto Film Festival, during which she was asked about the recent reunion of Harry and Meghan with the Prince and Princess of Wales.

“My father passed recently, this summer,” she told US outlet Extra.

“When all families come together for a common ceremony, the ritual of, you know, burying your dead, there’s an opportunity for peacemaking.

“And hopefully, there will be that.”

The presenter faced backlash on social media over the remarks, with some questioning why she had chosen to bring up previous tensions.

Winfrey’s interview in March 2021 saw Meghan reveal she felt suicidal at the height of her crisis in the monarchy.

Harry and Oprah later reunited in May 2021 for an Apple TV series entitled The Me You Can’t See: A Path Forward, which explored issues of mental health.

In the series, Harry lambasted his father’s parenting skills and criticised him for expecting his sons to endure the pressures of royal life,

He also accused his family of “total neglect” when Meghan faced harassment on social media.
