  "account": "Princess Meghan is facing a challenging return to life in the United Kingdom, where she remains widely unpopular, according to sources. The 45-year-old American actress, formerly of the television series Suits, has been vocal about her difficulties upon her and Prince Harry's departure from royal duties in 2018. Prince Harry has expressed concern over how Meghan is handling her reintegration into British society, stating that this might be a more pressing issue than Harry's own adaptation. Historian Ed Owens notes that Meghan's ability to reinvent her public image and rebuild her brand remains uncertain, with the couple having moved back to the UK after reportedly receiving a UK-based acting opportunity. The royal family appears more intertwined with Britain through Prince Charles, but Meghan's transition back to the nation is complicated by her unpopularity and strained relations with the royal household. While she and Harry have chosen a new residence and enrolled their children in a British school, her prospects in the UK are reportedly dimmer following the loss of her Netflix contract for a lifestyle and cookery show. A recent poll indicates that 65% of British citizens view Meghan unfavorably. Despite Meghan's brief appearances in Australian events such as MasterChef, her return to the UK may reignite past conflicts, such as accusations of racism and family tensions highlighted in Prince Harry's recent memoir.",
  "summary": "LONDON: Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan, faces a tough challenge in reassimilating to life in the UK where she remains deeply unpopular, as well as managing uneasy ties with the royal family.",
