Duchess of Sussex focuses on new opportunities while Harry tackles security concerns
Meghan Markle has been keeping a busy schedule lately, sparking speculation about her next steps. Her recent solo appearance at Paris Fashion Week drew particular attention, where she supported her close friend Pierpaolo Piccioli, the new creative director at Balenciaga.
Although Meghan has shown little desire to return to the UK, her European visit reportedly raised some eyebrows at the Palace. Royal watchers suggested the Sussexes might be testing public reaction to Meghan’s presence in Europe, a region still seen as closely tied to her royal in-laws.
Rumours also continue about Meghan’s possible move into the fashion world, with some hinting she could make an appearance at London Fashion Week. However, royal expert Phil Dampier told the press that a UK comeback is unlikely. According to him, Meghan remains “unpopular” with the British public and has consistently ranked low in YouGov’s favourability polls.
Harry, on the other hand, is said to hold deep affection for the UK but faces ongoing challenges over security. He recently wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to request automatic police protection for himself and his family during visits. At the moment, their security is granted only on a case-by-case basis, which makes a return for Meghan and the children improbable until the issue is resolved.
