Although
Prince Harry reportedly won back his government-funded security detail in England, Meghan Markle won't be keen on visiting often. "It would open the door, but if you look at the polls, her [Meghan's] ratings are absolutely terrible," royal expert
Richard Fitzwilliams told
GB News via
Daily Express. "She is not popular with the British public."

While Richard Fitzwilliams claimed the U.K. doesn't favor Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex isn't fond of
Prince Harry's home country either. "Then there is the case that she does not appear to have any affection for Britain. That has never manifested itself," he said.

Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry are set to return to England this summer for the one-year countdown party leading up to Invictus Games 2027. "I cannot see Meghan coming to Britain before the Invictus Games because what would she do and why would she come? It is not going to be as simple as turning up and seeing
King Charles III," Richard Fitzwilliams said.

Six years after Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry left The Firm, data shows the public disapproval of the
Suits actress. According to the market
research company Ipsos, which polled 1,036 adults between October 20-21, 2025, only 17% of Brits had a "favorable view" of Meghan, which is a 39-point decrease. 56% of survey participants had a negative opinion of the mother of two.

Royal author
Christopher Andersen feels
Prince Harry's legal win will be difficult for Meghan Markle. "This puts Meghan in a rather awkward position, since I really don't think she is eager to return to what she sees as a somewhat hostile environment," he told
Us Weekly.
