Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Hit With Terrible News

Let’s just say that they might not be as popular as they thought they were. Clearly, we are talking about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as their latest public appearance has sparked some rather uncomfortable questions.

Key Takeaways

• Harry and Meghan visit Nottingham.
• Their public reception sparks debate.
• Critics question their UK popularity.
• Royal reconciliation remains uncertain.
• Their next move attracts speculation.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Hit With Terrible News

That’s because, during a recent public appearance in Nottingham, the Daily Mail reportedly suggested that there were more media personnel present than members of the public.

In other words, some critics believe that everyday people in the UK aren’t particularly interested in seeing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle up close and personal, nor do they care about what the couple is doing on a daily basis.

However, other coverage described a warm reception from supporters, so the reported crowd size alone doesn’t establish how the British public feels about the couple.

As Celebrating The Soaps previously reported, Harry and Meghan’s UK return has already sparked a strong public reaction.

For Harry and Meghan, who moved their family from California to the UK this past summer, the latest criticism can’t be particularly encouraging.

As much as they have always said that they wanted to have a private life, a lot of critics believe that Harry and Meghan also enjoy all the attention that comes with being both members of the Royal Family and celebrities in the spotlight.

Then again, there’s also speculation suggesting that Harry and Meghan are trying to get back into the royal fold, despite the fact that King Charles has made it clear they are to be treated as private citizens and nothing more.

In fact, Harry and Meghan have already pushed back against the Palace’s private-citizen designation.

What’s Next For Harry And Meghan?

But seeing how the Sussexes left California and their multimillion-dollar mansion in Montecito behind, some critics think they might be in need of financial support.

There is even speculation that they came back to the UK hoping King Charles would help support them in one way or another.

However, there’s no confirmed evidence that financial difficulties motivated their return.

As Soap Spoiler previously reported, the Sussexes’ decision to leave Montecito also generated plenty of speculation.

For Harry and Meghan, there’s no doubt that they’ll have to consider their next steps carefully.

Because if public interest in their appearances starts to fade, some critics believe that sooner or later, the British media might lose interest in them, too.

Of course, the considerable media attention surrounding their Nottingham visit suggests that hasn’t happened yet.

So far, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not publicly addressed the criticism surrounding the reported crowd size, although we’ll definitely update you with the latest details as they come in.

Watch this space, as we have a feeling there is so much more to come.

Annemarie’s Take

Harry and Meghan certainly know how to generate headlines, but attracting media attention and winning over the British public are two very different things.

I think their biggest challenge will be proving that their return to the UK is about more than publicity.

Whether they can rebuild their relationship with the Royal Family is another question entirely.
