The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of “complete hypocrisy” amid reports they could look to spend more time in the UK. Talk TV host Jeremy Kyle claimed the couple, who stepped down as senior royals and moved to the US in 2020, are acting “like politicians”.
Kyle said Prince Harry and Meghan had been critical of the Royal Family and the UK, but “suddenly” want their children Archie and Lilibet to be have prince and and princess titles.
He said: “It is complete hypocrisy by both of them. And again, a bit like politicians, do they not suss out that the British public, the silent majority, have an opinion of them that frankly isn’t going to change?”
Royal commentator Dickie Arbiter added “it’s not going to change” and said it appears they want “the best of both worlds”.
The couple faced intense media coverage while in the UK, before leaving for California where they have pursued new opportunities, including a Spotify podcast deal.
Speaking to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Meghan said she found life so hard within the Royal Family that at times she “didn’t want to be alive any more”.
In the same interview, the couple told Winfrey about a conversation with an unnamed member of the Royal Family about “how dark” unborn Archie’s skin would be. Two years later, Harry denied calling the Royal Family racist, saying this word was used by the media not him.
Earlier this month, Harry, Meghan and their two children, reunited with King Charles at his Highgrove Residence. Reports suggest the Sussexes are considering a return to the UK, using their holiday home in Portugal as a staging post.
Prince Harry wants to visit family more – but one 1 very big condition
Prince Harry visited the UK this July and he could be back again soon if his one wish is granted. The prince visited the UK to mark the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games and while he was here, he even met with some of his family. The prince, who now lives in the USA with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie were all hosted by the King and Queen Camilla. Prince Harry reportedly wants to visit his family more.
The Duke of Sussex is reportedly planning to lobby the Home Secretary over his security arrangements. After he stepped down from his royal duties in 2020, his security detail was withdrawn. In the years since, he has been in a battle to get it back, or at least some form of security for himself and his family – so far to no avail. If he were to enter into an agreement for protection, he could visit the UK more often.

King Charles’ ‘non-negotiable’ for reunion with Harry and Meghan revealed
Royal experts have revealed the tense nature of the meeting between King Charles III and Prince Harry. The King had not seen his grandchildren in some time, and the meeting itself was up in the air when Harry struggled to get the level of security protection he wanted for his wife, Meghan, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet. The reunion also included Queen Camilla, who reportedly dropped everything to make it to the long-awaited reunion.
British eyes have been all over the royals in the last couple of weeks amid Harry’s brief return to the UK. Commentators speculated on what the meeting would be like, where it would take place, and who would be in attendance. While it was pretty clear that both Harry and the King would be there, people weren’t sure if either Meghan or Camilla would make it. However, reports suggest that Camilla was indeed there, which was a “non-negotiable” for Charles.
Prince Harry has said that he is “delighted” to announce that Daejeon, South Korea, will host the next Invictus Games in 2029. The Duke of Sussex said in a statement: “Today’s announcement is a defining moment for the Invictus Movement.
“We are delighted to announce Daejeon, South Korea as the host of the 2029 Invictus Games and, on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation, we are so excited to work together.
“As the first Asian nation selected to host the Games, the Republic of Korea represents an exciting new chapter in our journey to ensure that more wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans can benefit from the power of sport and the strength of the Invictus community.”
