A royal expert believes there is one major obstacle preventing Prince Harry from ever returning to royal duties.
In an article for the Express, Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams discussed what could happen if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle re-entered the royal fold.
This is due to “persistent rumours” that Harry wants to return to Britain more often, see his old friends and, most importantly, reconcile with his family.
His sudden and unexpected appearance at his uncle Lord Fellowes’s Memorial Service has fuelled this speculation. He and Prince William were at the back of the church during the service, it has been claimed, and attendees said they were not seen exchanging a single word.
Mr Fitzwilliams said that there is one key thing stopping the Sussexes from making Britain the Sussexes’ home once again, saying that they had one main pull to stay away.

He wrote: “The main problem with any comeback, if it hypothetically could be arranged, is obviously Meghan. Her home is in California.
“She is detested in Britain where she currently has a negative rating of 37 percent according to a YouGov poll in August. She seeks prestige and global reach and is absolutely ruthless about getting it.”
The commentator added that, despite her consistent support of issues like racial and gender inequality and online abuse, there was a question of whether or not the royals could trust her.
He said Meghan may also have issues with finding staff, “given her reputation, which she denies, of being impossible to work for”.
He added: “The monarchy must have dignity and avoid being part of the celebrity culture we are so obsessed with. It is, of course, pivotal that the brothers, in time, reconcile.”
