Meghan Markle faces warnings that a return to the UK could prove to be her “biggest mistake.” The Sussex family, who relocated to the United States in 2020, will be visiting the UK in July for the first time in four years and is expected to attend the Invictus Games event in Birmingham.
Meghan Markle risks ‘reopening old wounds’ with this mistake during UK trip, per expert
According to brand and culture expert Nick Ede, Meghan’s return to the UK should go smoothly if she avoids commenting on past controversies. In an interview with the Daily Express, Ede warned that Meghan should avoid reopening past conflicts.
“The biggest mistake Meghan could make would be appearing defensive or attempting to address past controversies during the visit,” he added. “This visit should be about creating new memories rather than reopening old wounds.”
The visit of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex comes after Harry’s BBC interview last year, in which he said he wanted “reconciliation” with the royal family. He said, “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point,” adding, “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight anymore; life is precious.”
Although Prince Harry has made several trips to the UK since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan’s upcoming visit will be her first since the late Queen’s funeral in 2022, reports The Mirror.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet also visited the UK in 2022 for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, months before her passing. It is believed this was the only time King Charles had met his granddaughter. Harry and his father last met on September 10, 2025, at Clarence House in London, where they held a private 55-minute conversation, their first in-person meeting in 19 months. During their visit, the Sussex family is expected to stay at a royal residence, with a meeting with King Charles expected as part of the visit.
