After it was reported that Meghan Markle made a list of demands for a potential return to England, U.K. barrister and broadcaster
Andrew Eborn gave his take on the matter. "The Sussex shock return of the madness from Montecito [Calif.]," he told
Sky News Digital. "What it basically means is mending ties with
King Charles III and resolving
Prince Harry's security issues. Harry's made it very clear he wants to get closer to his father, and this is a good stage, but what they're saying is it comes with a Netflix package. It is about that security. It is about making sure that she gets that sort of respect and respect for all people in that conversation."

According to royal commentator
Kinsey Schofield, Meghan Markle requested a "rather grand accommodation" while living in England. The Duchess of Sussex allegedly had a "fixation" on what
Kate Middleton had and wanted "something of similar value."
Prince Harry and Meghan also want their tax-funded security reinstated.

While some think there's potential for
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to mend fences with the royals, others feel the opportunity has passed. "Harry clearly met his father [King Charles III] with the hope that he could ingratiate himself back into the family, but it isn't going to work. There is just no way back for him," royal biographer
Tom Bower told
Daily Express, referring to the father and son's meeting earlier this year.

If
Prince Harry and King Charles III sort through their issues, it could be bad news for Meghan Markle. "If — and hopefully it's a 'when' not an 'if' — Harry starts to reconcile with his family over here, Meghan will ultimately face an exceedingly difficult choice," royal commentator
Duncan Larcombe explained. "Does she come with Harry and look the people she's criticized in the eyes? Which is going to be tough. Or does she allow Harry to come with the children and stay away? If it's the latter, she would miss the children and it would be interpreted as an enormous snub by Meghan herself and the rift then becomes more about her than Harry. She faces potentially difficult choices if we're getting to a state where Harry's prepared to bury the hatchet."
