Meghan faces difficult return to the UK

Meghan Markle, wife of Prince Harry, faces a challenging return to the United Kingdom, where she remains unpopular and has uneasy ties with the royal family. Despite bombshell interviews and documentaries revealing her struggles since her 2018 wedding, both Meghan and Harry have criticized the British media for making her life "an absolute misery."

Historian Ed Owens suggests that the extent of her re-adaptation to UK life is uncertain, as she has been attempting to reinvent her public image for the past six years. While King Charles III's son retains close ties to Britain, Meghan finds her sunny Californian base more comfortable. Her decision to return to the UK, reportedly due to a UK-based acting role, may be primarily focused on her family and children Archie and Lilibet.

Despite her popularity in the US, Meghan's standing in Britain is deeply unfavorable, with 65% of Britons holding an unfavourable view of her according to a YouGov poll. Meghan has previously denounced the British media's treatment of her, claiming they would find ways to "destroy" her despite her best efforts. The return of the royal couple has raised concerns about lingering family tensions and accusations of racism, potentially leading to a media storm.
