Relations between the British royal house and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not been the same since that media interview that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle granted to presenter Oprah Winfrey to affirm, among other things, that the royal institution was still contaminated by its secular racism.
Although in recent times the prince has tried to smooth things over with his brother William or his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, with brief but significant meetings in private , now the journalist and royal biographer Howard Hodgson has revealed his conviction that the former actress is not exactly in the business of definitively relaxing relations between the parties.
In the opinion of this expert, Meghan Markle would not be interested in her husband’s bond with his relatives being too close, since that situation could make the aristocrat travel more frequently to his native country and, perhaps, come to consider a definitive return to the United Kingdom to recover his institutional responsibilities.
Asked about the supposed golden opportunity that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have to “repair” their ties with the monarchy, Hodgson has expressed himself in very forceful terms: “I don’t think Meghan wants to repair anything. If it were repaired, Harry could be tempted to return and resume his role“, he pointed out in conversation with The Sun newspaper, just before offering the shocking vision that, of these events, Prince Charles, heir to the throne, could have.
“To a certain extent, Carlos doesn’t want things to go in that direction either. He does not want to complicate his life and prefers that there be a completely direct line of succession: William and Jorge, “said Howard Hodgson.
