Prince Harry says he and Meghan will never move back to the UK

Prince Harry dramatically declared today that he and Meghan will never return to the UK and become working members of the royal family, just hours after using another explosive US interview to trashy suggestions that the couple give up their official titles.

Speaking on Good Morning America, the Duke of Sussex said: “I don’t think it’s ever possible, I don’t think even if there was an agreement or arrangement between me and my family, there’s a third party that’s going to do everything they can to make sure that that is not possible, without preventing us from returning, but making it impossible to survive.

He continued: ‘Because that is essentially breaking the relationship between us. There was something in the future where, you know, we can continue to support the Commonwealth which of course is on the table.

in a separate interview with CBSPrince he deflected a question from Anderson Cooper, who asked why, given his clear antipathy to the monarchy’s instructions, he and Meghan did not simply renounce their titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

‘And what difference would that make?’ was his only response.

Cooper said: ‘One of the criticisms he’s gotten is that he’s okay, okay, he wants to move to California, he wants to get away from the institutional role. Why be so public? Why reveal conversations you’ve had with your father or your brother? You say you tried to do this in private.

Harry responded: “Every time I’ve tried to do it in private, there have been briefings, leaks and planting stories against me and my wife.”

‘You know, the family motto is never complain, never explain. But it’s just a motto. And it really doesn’t hold.

The couple first made the shock announcement that they would be stepping down from their royal duties on January 8, 2020.

At the time, they wrote in a joint statement that they had reached the decision after “many months of reflection and internal discussions.”

They said they wanted to “work towards becoming financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty the Queen”.

“We now plan to balance our time between the UK and North America, continuing to honor our duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth and our patronages,” the statement continued.

“This geographic balance will allow us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also giving our family the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charity.”

At the time, Norman Baker, a former Liberal Democrat MP and Home Office minister in the coalition government, said they should give up their titles in a scathing interview, stating: “You can’t be one foot in, one foot out.” . ‘

“Either you are a member of the royal family or you are not,” he told the Express.

Anderson pointed out during 60 Minutes that “one of the criticisms” the couple has received is that they “want to get away from the institutional role” but still want to “be as public.”

Cooper said: ‘One of the criticisms he’s gotten is that he’s okay, okay, he wants to move to California, he wants to get away from the institutional role. Why be so public? Why reveal conversations you’ve had with your father or your brother? You say you tried to do this in private. Harry responded: “Every time I’ve tried to do it in private, there have been briefings, leaks and planting stories against me and my wife.”

Just over a year later, in February 2021, Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down as royals permanently and moving to California full-time, where they bought a $14 million mansion in Montecito.

A month later, the couple sat down with Oprah for a two-hour conversation, during which they alleged that someone in the royal family raised concerns about their son, Archie’s skin color before his birth, and that Meghan had thoughts. suicidal. her while she was pregnant, but that Palacio told her that she couldn’t “get help” because “it wouldn’t be good for the institution.”

After the interview aired, the palace aides asked the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to renounce their titles once more.

“The Duke of Sussex has now spent a significant amount of time emphasizing that he is no different from others and attacking the institution that he says has caused him so much pain,” a senior courtier told The Mail on Sunday.

‘There is a growing feeling that if you dislike the institution so much, you shouldn’t have the degrees.

They should become Harry and Meghan. And if they refuse to do it, they have to explain why not.”

In their recent Netflix doc, the couple made more shocking statements, including that the couple were victims of ‘institutional gaslighting’ and that the royals would lie to protect their older brother, Prince William.

Harry also said in the series that he told his father, King Charles II, that he and Meghan were willing to give up their titles during discussions about their plan to move to the United States.

When the couple (seen in 2020) announced that they would be moving away from the monarchy and moving to the United States in early 2020, many people called for them to give up their royal titles.

Following its premiere, a YouGov poll conducted for The Times revealed that 44 percent of respondents said Prince Harry and Meghan should lose their titles, while 32 percent thought they shouldn’t.

A separate poll for Mail+ found 98 per cent of 9,700 people saying they wanted the royal couple to lose their titles.

Royal expert and biographer Robert Jobson later said: “Harry claims in his Netflix docuseries that he offered to renounce his title of Duke of Sussex.”

‘Given his and his wife’s distaste for our constitutional monarchy, it is surely time the Crown accepted their offer. The title was bestowed in anticipation of service to the Crown and country.

Members of parliament have also been reported to have been trying to pass a bill that would give the Privy Council the power to demote Harry and Meghan’s status.

To change the status of the royal couple, legislation would have to amend the Title Deprivation Act of 1917 which was used to strip honors such as peerages from enemies who supported German aggression in World War I.
