According to Richard Eden of the Daily Mail, the couple may have cause for concern after a conservative think tank filed a Freedom of Information Act request for their immigration documents, aiming to ascertain the truthfulness of past drug use allegations made by Prince Harry in his book "Spare." As the US presidential election approaches, tensions between the couple and the political landscape rise, particularly given Meghan's vocal disapproval of Donald Trump. This sentiment appears reciprocated, with Trump suggesting they may face challenges if he returns to office.
Relations between the Sussexes and the royal family have strained since their relocation to Montecito, California, with author O Scobby suggesting that Meghan has no desire to return to England. Despite occasional visits, such as attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2023, Meghan's attachment to her homeland appears limited.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry allegedly harbors hopes of returning to the UK, especially following his father's illness and Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis earlier this year. However, US celebrity Huie Morgan suggests that since settling in America, the couple's popularity has waned, with perceptions of them shifting away from their royal status.
The dynamics between Harry and his brother William further complicate matters, with reports of growing tensions over William's relationship with Camilla. Harry's perceived betrayal by William underscores a deeper emotional separation between the brothers, exacerbated by their physical distance.
In 2020, Harry and Meghan's decision to depart from the royal family marked a significant shift, with the couple now residing in California while the rest of the royal family remains in England. Harry's infrequent visits to his homeland highlight the growing divide within the royal family.
