Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are once again at the center of royal debate. Reports indicate the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan an extended return to the UK. Neither Meghan nor Prince Harry has publicly confirmed the move. However, the BBC reported that a Sussex spokesperson confirmed the family intends to relocate to a private home outside London.
Meghan Markle’s UK return sparks debate about Kate Middleton’s role among royal fans
According to The Royal Observer, some royal fans believe Meghan Markle’s UK return will increase Kate Middleton’s public appearances. Many pointed out a similar pattern during Prince Harry and Markle’s visit to Britain in July.
At the time, the Princess of Wales carried out several high-profile engagements. She completed the Three Peaks Challenge and attended Wimbledon. She also supported her husband, Prince William, at the Royal Charity Polo Cup. She reportedly chose these events instead of joining the Sussexes’ reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Following the latest reports, social media users again speculated that Middleton’s calendar could become more active. One X user joked, “Kate Middleton first day back at Kensington Palace cause now she has to work in order to eclipse Meghan MARKLE.” Another wrote, “The gag is we won’t even see Meghan. Just the mere essence of her presence will send the rest of the royals working overtime.”
However, not everyone agreed with that view. Several royal watchers defended the Princess of Wales. They dismissed the idea that Markle’s reported return would influence her schedule. “The futur [sic] Queen of England will be fine dont worry about her,” one user commented. Another added, “Why would William and Catherine increase their workload? Harry and Meghan are not working royals. They are private citizens only who will be keeping their heads down in the UK.”
The reported relocation has sparked widespread discussion about how the royal family could look in the months ahead. However, Buckingham Palace has not commented on the speculation surrounding Kate’s future engagements.
While reports suggest Harry and Markle are preparing for an extended stay in Britain, many details remain unclear. The couple has not addressed the reports publicly. Furthermore, no official information has been released regarding their long-term plans. Their spokesperson only confirmed details directly to the BBC.
