‘This is the biggest mistake Meghan Markle could make in the UK - will reopen old wounds'

Meghan Markle is set to return to the UK next month with her husband Prince Harry. Her visit, which is also expected to see The Duke and Duchess bring their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to Harry’s home country, will be the first time Meghan has stepped foot in Britain since 2022.

While Harry has made various solo trips over the last few years back to the UK, he has cited security concerns as the main reason why Meghan, Archie and Lilibet have not accompanied him. However, as the family-of-four prepare to journey across the pond together within weeks, it seems that this is no longer a concern. However, Meghan, 44, will probably still feel some nerves stepping back into the country she once called home.

Since Meghan and Harry quit royal life in 2020, she has voiced some criticisms about Britain, which haven’t gone down well with the British public.

This has resulted in Meghan being a controversial figure, with some blaming her for the fact Harry is no longer a working royal.

While Meghan may therefore be nervous to return, a brand and culture expert has said that the duchess should be okay as long as she doesn’t address “past controversies”.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Express, brand and culture expert Nick Ede also addressed the biggest mistake Meghan could make, which would risk reopening “old wounds”.

He said: “The biggest mistake Meghan could make would be appearing defensive or attempting to address past controversies during the visit.

“This visit should be about creating new memories rather than reopening old wounds.”

It is believed Meghan will step out with her husband at the one-year countdown event to the 2027 Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham.

No other mention has been made of any other public appearances Meghan and Harry may make during their UK break.

It is believed they will stay at a royal residence during their trip, with a meeting with King Charles likely to take place.
