Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might be treated differently since their return to the UK. According to a royal expert, the British public could reportedly forgive the Duke of Sussex at some point. But it would seemingly not be the same in Markle’s case. She would allegedly face a tougher royal road than her husband.
For those unversed, the Sussexes have returned to Britain since they left as non-working royals in 2020. They have moved back with their children — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Expert believes UK public will find it hard to forgive Meghan Markle than Prince Harry
Meghan Markle might face more difficulty building trust with the UK public than Prince Harry since their return. Rob Shuter told NewsNation that he doubts the people will accept the Sussexes’ move. After analyzing a poll, the former royal publicist claimed that the duke could allegedly be forgiven in the future.
According to the expert, Harry has more chances of making his way back into the UK public’s hearts. However, Markle might not achieve the goal any time soon. Shuter said that few people still remember the “Spare” author as a kid who “walked behind his mother’s coffin.” He referred to the late Princess Diana’s funeral procession when the duke was just 12 years old.
“That is ingrained into many people of my generation’s memory. And so I think it’s easy here to forgive Harry,” he added.
Meanwhile, Shuter believed that it might be challenging to change the public’s opinion on Markle. “We do know that she’s already reached out to a few charities. And so maybe she’s going to try and rebuild those bridges, that trust. But she has a really tough road ahead of her.”
Moreover, the Duchess of Sussex faced backlash even before stepping back from royal duties. Hence, the expert claimed that Markle would reportedly have to put in a lot of effort if she wishes to change people’s views about her.
