Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “don’t need to be lured back” into the royal fold, a royal commentator has argued.

This comes after reports that King Charles was trying to get his sister – and Harry’s aunt – Princess Anne to persuade the couple to make a return to the UK – and eventually, the royal fold.

Columnist Sarah Vine previously argued that Anne could be “the answer to all the Royal Family’s problems”, urging the 73-year-old to be the one to go and “deal with them”.

However, royal commentator Gareth Russell told GB News that the Sussexes “don’t need” a member from the Royal Family checking on them – adding that an intervention would not go down too well with the British public either.

He said: “It would give the impression that they’re trying to lure him back. I don’t think this would be hugely popular with many people in Britain.”
Tensions have escalated for some time between the couple and the royals – with relations appearing to have heightened further in recent months. Meghan and Harry now live in the US – as they have from 2020 – with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
