PRINCE Harry & Meghan Markle risk “walking into the lion’s den” when they return to the UK for a “difficult” surprise tour, an expert claims.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will visit the UK in September to support “several charities close to their hearts” – despite their ongoing row over police protection.
According to Richard Fitzwilliams, their media bombshells are likely to have damaged their popularity among the UK public.
The royal author said this will make their upcoming visit “fairly difficult”.
He told Newsweek: “What has happened during this period is that their ratings have dropped phenomenally. Their popularity has plunged in Britain.
“They know when they appear that they are at war with the press here, it’s rather like venturing into the lion’s den now because you’ve got the public who are not supportive and you’ve got the press who are ferociously against them—and then you’ve also got the royal family where there’s a rift.”
It comes as it’s said the Sussexes will not visit the Queen during her summer break at Balmoral – and have no plans to meet Her Mah during their UK trip.
Royal staff had been told to expect the couple and their kids after Her Majesty extended an olive branch – but the Sussexes are said to not be attending.
