Near-unanimous poll rejects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle royal comeback proposal.
Crossing the Atlantic back toward British shores rarely guarantees red carpets, even for royalty. Expectations of a grand welcome faded rapidly following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return to the UK with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on August 26, after six years residing in California.
Insider reports suggest Prince Harry, facing his 42nd birthday on Tuesday, believes Buckingham Palace desperately requires his presence alongside Meghan Markle. Official policy from King Charles remains firm, reconfirming that the California-based pair remain non-working royals who should be viewed purely as public citizens.
Public opinion surveys show British audiences strongly reject any official return.
Surveys conducted by the Daily Express between September 12 and September 13 collected 5,264 votes, revealing that 98.06 percent [5,162] believe the Royal Family does not need Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Barely 1.69 percent [89] voted yes, while a tiny 0.24 percent [13] remained undecided on whether royal halls required the couple’s assistance.
“No! They have enough of the loyal members of the Royal Family to help when needed, like the children of Princess Anne, Prince Edward and other cousins that are willing to step in. Those that can be trusted,” one reader wrote in online comment sections.
“No you have to be kidding…” another reader added regarding prospects of a royal return.
Reports place the family of four currently settling into the Cotswolds, where Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet prepare to start British school term schedules this month. Adjusting to countryside life unfolds as public debates continue regarding their role in modern monarchical affairs.
