According to a reliable source, Meghan has no intention of returning to the UK in the foreseeable future if it means adhering to this protocol. As a result, Prince Harry is slated to make a brief solo trip to the UK this week, where he will attend the World Child Awards in London on September 7th before heading to the Invictus Games in Germany. Meghan will join him later during the latter event.
Interestingly, Prince Harry is not expected to meet with his father, the King, during his visit. Their strained relationship, which Harry candidly discussed in his Netflix documentary and forthcoming memoir, seems to persist. It's worth noting that Meghan's reluctance to return to the UK extends beyond the curtsy issue.
She likely feels that she lacks the respect and deference she believes she deserves within the royal family. While all three women are duchesses, the hierarchy within their husbands' titles is clear. With one being a Queen, one a Princess of Wales, and Meghan remaining a duchess, the ranking and hierarchy are unmistakable.
Even Sophie, who is a duchess, outranks Meghan because her husband holds a higher title—the Duke of Edinburgh as opposed to the Duke of Sussex. It's evident that many in the UK do not want Meghan back, and she seems to be working on cultivating a similar sentiment in the United States.
An interesting insight into the origins of Meghan's reservations about the royal family's pecking order has emerged from a Reddit post. Apparently, it all began with Meghan commenting during a fitting that her future children would have titles like the whale's children (referring to William and Kate's offspring). However, she was corrected and informed that her children were unlikely to receive titles, and William's children would outrank them.
This revelation seemed to ruffle her feathers, and her attitude toward the royal children changed. Catherine took over the fitting appointments when the nanny informed her of this incident. The rest of the story has already been widely discussed.
The information comes from a trusted source who worked for the Queen for 40 years, making it quite reliable. This source has never been one to engage in gossip and has been known for professionalism and trustworthiness. They chose to share this information only after Charles ascended to the throne and Meghan did not attend the coronation. The source firmly believes that Meghan will never curtsy to any member of the royal family, especially William's family.
In other news, concerns have arisen about the Duke of Sussex's visit to Britain this week, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's passing. Some fear that Prince Harry's presence and his participation in the World Child Awards might divert media attention away from the solemn occasion. This has raised questions about the potential impact of his visit on the Royals and the way it could overshadow the remembrance of the late Queen's death, regardless of his intentions or actions during the visit.
