Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams didn’t hold back while discussing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s surprise return to the UK. Appearing on GB News on Wednesday, the journalist told Patrick Christys that they “failed to make it in the United States.” Reflecting on the “extraordinary development,” Fitzwilliams noted that there’s no word on whether or not the couple had reached an “agreement” of reconciliation with the royal family. “As I see it, we’ve got to wait and see how this unfolds. But, very clearly, the first thought I had is that they failed to make it in the United States.
“We knew Meghan’s [brand] As Ever, there was a question mark about how well she was doing there. Presumably, that will, for example, continue. Harry lost Sentebale in the lawsuit, linked to that. The Invictus Games, now will the King, either by video or in person, open it next year in Birmingham?” Fitzwilliams reiterated, “Essentially, they failed to be A-listers in Hollywood. That was, as I understood it, the plan because they were so unhappy as senior working royals.
‘They failed to make it in the United States.’
Royal commentator Richard FitzWilliams gives his take on why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to return to Britain.
Precisely what, if any, royal duties they will be doing – you mentioned their popularity, and Harry is not popular – but I think he’s got over 30% in the polls now, and Meghan has somewhere around 20%.
“That’s pretty grim. They’ve got a hostile press, they’ve got a public that is unsympathetic, and also there is, unquestionably, Prince William, who I cannot see welcoming this.”
Reports of Meghan and Harry’s imminent return to the UK emerged on Wednesday evening (19 August). It is understood that the Sussexes will continue to be classed as private individuals and non-working members of the royal family.
Reports have also stated that King Charles was made aware of Harry and Meghan’s decision to move on Sunday. As for Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, the children will be enrolled in British schools starting in September (via The Telegraph).

Harry and Meghan’s move to the UK comes six years after they relocated to Montecito, California. Last month, the Sussexes made a brief return to Britain to mark the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games.
Pointing to a potential reconciliation with the royal family, the duo made headlines during their trip by visiting Highgrove to meet with King Charles and Queen Camilla. Following the announcement, the Home Office said: “The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate.
“It is our longstanding policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.
