The expert said, “Harry will likely stay in the U.K. until the funeral. I can’t imagine Meghan won’t attend, but again from a human perspective, Meghan was expecting to leave the kids for six days, not weeks, so [it] may not be possible for her to stay the whole time.”

Harry and Markle married in 2018 and infamously left the monarchy to live private lives in Montecito, California. They relocated to the U.S. in 2020 after dropping their roles as senior working royals. the move was labeled “Megxit” and reportedly led to, “a rift in the royal family.”

    I am enraged at Oprah’s audacious suggestion that the Queen’s death will bring Harry and William together Is yet another example of her lack of knowledge or proof about two brothers Oprah becoming senile. Oprah’s crassness in commenting on what is going on in another country, about people she doesn’t know, except for one interview, hopefully, is one of her despicable publicity stunts. Commenting on anything pertinent to the death of Queen Elizabeth is outrageous. Her nose needs to be kept on her face and not in the people of Great Britain. Oprah went to far this time
