Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would return to the US if they are denied taxpayer funded security, claim royal experts.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the UK last month with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and have been busy with their professional engagement in the capacity of "private citizens", as King Charles confirmed that the pair would not be returning to their working royal roles.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's potential California return
As reported by the Daily Mail, Diary Editor Richard Eden and a panel of royal experts discussed the family's potential return to the California.
It was shared that sources have revealed that the Sussexes could leave the UK if a Home Office review refuses them automatic police protection.
Speaking to columnist Sarah Vine and royal biographer Robert Hardman, Eden compared the couple's reported ultimatum as "blackmail" and an attempt to put pressure on the review.
He added it would be "outrageous" to give the couple, who have been described by King Charles as "private citizens" in his bombshell letter, the same protection as working royals.
Prince Harry's taxpayer security row
Harry lost automatic taxpayer-funded security in 2020 after the couple stepped back from official duties and moved to California and failed to overturn the decision in the courts. Their return has now triggered a fresh review.
Eden argued, "The implications of this are massive because if they get it, what that then means is Harry and Meghan can come and go, and they'll still be getting police protection, and also they can say that they want it in America."
"So those hard pressed taxpayers in the US might find that they're having to pay for security too. So it could ease any money worries that they have."
"Harry and Meghan would be absolutely thrilled. They'd have these huge costs paid for by someone else."
Meghan Markle returns to the US
Meanwhile, amid the review for the taxpayer-funded security, Meghan is expected to attend the Daytime Emmy Awards in LA on October 30, where her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, has received a nomination in the Outstanding Lifestyle Series category.
