BREAKING NEWS: Meghan has ‘underlying feeling she isn’t welcome’ after return to UK

Meghan Markle was allegedly disappointed with the lack of a welcome.

Meghan Markle has been left feeling “defeated” by the lack of a warm welcome from the Royal Family since she and Prince Harry returned to the UK, according to an insider. The Duchess of Sussex is said to have an “underlying feeling” that she is not welcomed by those within King Charles’ circle, despite the couple’s decision to move their lives closer to the royals.

The source said: “Charles hot-footed it off to Scotland when they arrived which didn’t exactly send a warm welcome.

“She wasn’t expecting a tea party or anything official, but it would’ve been nice to have some sort of signal from Charles that he was happy to have his son and grandchildren back in town.”

Harry and Meghan arrived in the UK by private jet last week as they prepare for a new chapter in Britain with their children Archie and Lilibet.

The couple are believed to have chosen a home in the Cotswolds, having previously lived primarily in California.

However, the source claimed Meghan has been disappointed by the apparent lack of contact with senior members of the Royal Family.

“Plenty of people have reached out to welcome them; they’ve had all sorts of nice messages, especially from the Spencers, but Meghan’s still got this underlying feeling that they are not really welcomed by anyone within the King’s circle.

“She says it seems pretty clear that they’re going to have to fight for every single bit of face time with His Majesty and anyone else in his orbit,” they said.

Harry was reportedly hoping his return would lead to more regular contact with his father. But the source claimed the couple are already questioning whether that will happen.

“He had hoped they might see his father regularly but judging by the King’s diary and the polite silence they’ve encountered since arriving, they’re beginning to question whether that’s realistically in the cards,” the insider said.

The apparent distance comes after Harry, Meghan and their children were understood to have spent time with Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove in July.

The meeting was reportedly positive behind closed doors, but there has been little public sign of a wider reconciliation since.
