After a near-six year hiatus from living in the UK, a return could be on the cards for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex . . . but it comes with a series of bold demands
Meghan Markle has made a bizarre demand – at the same time it was revealed that Prince Harry could be contemplating a return to the UK. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex self-exiled to the US in 2020, and have been living their best lives in California ever since.
But now it has been claimed that the move – known to most as Megxit – could be nearing its end, with the son of King Charles seemingly looking to make amends and return to his country of birth after missing out on Christmas with family again.
According to royal biographer Christopher Andersen, speaking to US Weekly, that Harry is “holding out hope” for the return.
He said: “Does it pain Harry to be pointedly excluded from times when the royal family gets together, like Christmas at Sandringham?” Of course it does.
“Harry has always said the door remains open to some sort of relationship with the royal family. Meghan’s focused on their life in Montecito, but he’s holding out hope that he can eventually divide his time between California and the UK.
“On one level, Harry is content in California, (but on another, he surely has regrets that) neither he nor his children are sharing in their royal heritage.”
And while the return is being mooted, it seems as though Meghan Markle has a bold demand at the top of her list should she make the trip back to the UK with her husband.
According to a source speaking to royal commentator Rob Shuter, the biggest demand centres around one of London’s top hotels.
They said: “She wants four floors of the Hyatt completely shut down just for her. Extra security outside. Staff aren’t allowed to look at her. She’s in total control.
“Anyone who has any interaction with her has to call her ‘Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex. No exceptions.”
They also claimed that she wants “24/7 drivers, a fleet of luxury cars, and a police escort from the airport to the hotel”.
And that’s not all, as she’s also “asking for a fortress, bulletproof glass . . . armed security everywhere she goes – Nothing will be left to chance.”
The source also added that she wants to bring her personal chef, assistant, make up teams and rooms for her entire PR team.
The Daily Star has reach out to Meghan’s team . . . to see if there are any jobs available (we haven’t really, but are seriously considering it).
