Meghan Markle ‘won’t ever want a way back’ into the royal family after she and Prince Harry ‘burnt significant bridges beyond repair’ because it’s no place for someone with political ambition, royal expert claims
- Royal biographer Penny Junor claims couple have ‘burnt significant bridges’
- Claims Duchess of Sussex ‘won’t ever want a way back’ after moving to the US
- Says Meghan found ‘royal family is no place for someone with political ambition’
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have ‘burnt significant bridges beyond repair’ and the Duchess of Sussex ‘won’t ever want a way back after discovering that the royal family is no place for someone with political ambition’, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke, 36, and Duchess of Sussex, 39, who now live in a $14million mansion in Santa Barbara, with their son Archie, one, appear to ‘not be bothered’ by their decision to leave the Firm and move to the US, according to Penny Junor.
Writing in the Mirror, the biographer observed that while Prince Harry may improve his relationship with his brother Prince William – with the pair thought to not be as close as they once were, it’s unlikely Meghan will ever want to return to the institution.
She suggested the former actress, who has been vocal in recent weeks in urging Americans to vote, couldn’t achieve her desire to change the world while working as a senior member of the royal family.

‘In the past few months, Harry and Meghan have burnt some significant bridges that may be beyond repair,’ Penny said.
‘Right now, that doesn’t seem to bother them. And I can’t see Meghan ever wanting a way back. What she discovered in her brief spell as a working member, is the British royal family is no place for someone with political ambition.
‘This centuries-old institution provides an unparalleled platform for charitable work – to change and improve people’s lives – but it is not the springboard for changing the world – however burning and evident the need.’
However, Penny suggested that Harry doesn’t have the same political ambitions and instead his passion lies with helping disadvantaged people.
She added that it’s likely ‘he will find his way back’ one day as it took a long time for the prince to discover his talents.

Last month, a source close to Meghan claimed the royal would ‘seriously consider running for president’ if she and Prince Harry ever ‘gave up their titles’.
It came after the duke and duchess recorded a video message for Times 100 urging Americans to vote, just weeks before the November 3 elections.
‘One of the reasons she was so keen not to give up her American citizenship was so she had the option to go into politics,’ a source close to the couple told Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl.
‘I think if Meghan and Harry ever gave up their titles she would seriously consider running for president.’
However, others working closely with the former Suits actress claimed she has no intentions of a career in politics.
‘While there’s no denying she is interested and engaged in politics as a topic, she harbours no ambition to enter a career in politics herself,’ a well-placed source told the publication.
Harry and Meghan appeared in the Time 100 video to go with the publication’s list of the most influential people in 2020, which does not include the royal couple.
During the video message, the duke urged people to ‘reject hate speech’ while the duchess called it the ‘most important election of our lifetime’ in remarks which made waves on both sides of the Atlantic.
