Windsor is said to be preparing for a visit from Prince Harry. Will the Queen then have a serious word with her grandson?
According to "The Sun", palace employees are allegedly making arrangements for Prince Harry, 36, to visit his homeland, Great Britain. His Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage, is being prepared. There was no mention of Duchess Meghan (39). According to the paper, Harry could face a lecture from Queen Elizabeth II (94) on his return.
The monarch returned to Windsor Castle this week to return to work after her summer break. A face-to-face conversation with Harry would be conceivable. An anonymous source told the newspaper that Harry could come to England in the next few weeks, Meghan's name was not mentioned in this context.
For over half a year in the USA
According to the Sun, the royal family is concerned that Harry has crossed a line when he commented on US politics. About possible conversations between Harry and the Queen, the insider also said: "There are all kinds of topics to discuss – not just his political statements, but also his visa situation in the USA." Even if he had to be in quarantine for two weeks, "the property is large enough for discussions at a sufficient distance".
Harry moved to California with Meghan and their son Archie (1) in the spring. He and his wife are said to have signed a multi-million dollar deal with the streaming service Netflix. Since he has been living in the US for more than 183 days, this could mean, according to The Sun, that he may be liable for tax there.
Political statements
At the end of September, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan used a TV appearance to advertise voter registration for the US election (November 3, 2020). Meghan said: "Every four years we are told, 'This is the most important choice of our life. But it really is. When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices heard." Her British husband, who is not allowed to vote in the US, took the opportunity to appeal against online hatred: "As November approaches, it is crucial that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity. What we consume (…) has a real impact on us all. "
The British royal family described Harry's comments on the US election – the royals usually do not comment on political events – as his "personal" views, as the "Daily Mail" reported. Accordingly, Buckingham Palace wanted to "make no comment" on this: "The Duke is not a working member of the royal family and all comments he makes are made in a personal capacity."
