Meghan and Harry leave, bound for US
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the US with no peace deal struck with King Charles III and Prince William.
According to Ms Markle’s close friend CBS Mornings host Gayle King, she claimed the “turmoil” caused by Megxit and the Sussexes’ bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey is still unresolved.
Ms King, who met the couple after being introduced by Ms Winfrey, said: “There have been efforts on both sides … to sort of make this right.
“Big families always go through drama, always go through turmoil. It remains to be seen – are they going to be drawn closer together or are they going to be drawn apart? I have no idea, I have no inside information on that, but I will tell you this: It was good to see Harry standing with his family.”
The Duke and Duchess of
Sussex were holed up at Frogmore Cottage at Windsor after the Queen Elizabeth II’S funeral but were reported to have left for California to care for their children Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1.
Some reports suggest they took a flight from Heathrow Airport on Tuesday.
Victoria Arbiter told Seven’s Sunrise they are not planning to return to the UK.
“I know there are a lot of people out there who would love to see Harry and Meghan rejoin the Royal Family as working royals,” she said.
“But we have to remember Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave was their decision.
“The Queen had left the door open for them for a year, the goal being at the end of that year for them to say ‘ yeah you know what we want to come back’ or ‘no we’re very very happy living the life we’re living’.”
The news comes as Prince Harry has a memoir to publish and Ms Markle cancelled a string of media appearances to promote their podcast as they continue to film a Netflix documentary series.
It also comes as Prince William paid tribute to the Queen as he told of the “saddest circumstances” that stopped him attending an eco-summit in New York.
He spoke via video for the first time since Monday’s funeral and described his difficult “time of grief”.
He’s said saving the environment was “a cause close to my grandmother’s heart”.
Sources have also told Vanity Fair Prince William and wife Catherine were “relieved” when they left for the US after Megxit. The Prince and Princess of Wales felt “a sense of relief” because “the drama was gone”.
Even though Prince William extended an olive branch during the period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II’S funeral, sources said he can’t forgive them for splitting the Royal Family.
