BREAKING NEWS: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just handed Prince William his worst nightmare.v

If this week is anything to go by, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s UK return proves to be anything but boring, writes REBECCA RUSSELL.

It would be remiss of me to start our round-up today with anything other than the news that shook the rafters of the Royal Family this week: Prince Harry and Meghan are coming back to the UK… for an extended period, at least.

The Sussexes may have made it their life’s mission over the last six years to tell the world about their dislike for Harry’s home country and to air their grievances about their time in the Royal Family, but they seem to have suddenly put that all behind them.

We may not know where they will live, which schools Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are about to be enrolled in, who will fund their security or why the Sussexes only chose to inform King Charles about their move this time last week, but we do know that this saga shows no sign of quietening down yet.

Surely His Majesty will be thrilled to have his “darling boy” closer to home – and to have the opportunity to build a relationship with Archie and Lili will be invaluable – but what of William?

We’ve watched him fight to make a real and long-lasting change in how the monarchy has always run and become a devoted father to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

He has achieved so much – so why is his reward the return of someone who has taken it upon himself to endlessly tell the world how aggrieved he feels against his family and the UK?

And Catherine, too. She watched her name dragged through the mud by her once-beloved brother-in-law, so the thought of the Sussexes moving back must be a less-than-enchanting prospect.

As for what will happen next, who can say? We’ve heard the extraordinary news that Meghan may have been offered a UK acting role, eight years on from her departure from US legal drama, Suits.

While we know there is no resurrection of the “half-in/half-out” deal the Sussexes once pined for, the next few weeks promise to be anything but boring.
