Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may consider a move back to Canada if political tensions in the United States escalate, according to a royal commentator.
Speaking to Royal Insider, Richard Fitzwilliams suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could seek refuge in Canada, where they initially settled after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘could return to Canada’
It comes after US President Donald Trump hit out at Harry, 40, over his admission about past drug use in his memoir Spare. The Duke of Sussex admitted he had previously taken marijuana, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms.
Following the book release in 2023, there was much speculation over whether Prince Harry had made his past drug use clear on his US visa application. Past drug use may be considered grounds to deny a US visa application.
Trump said during an interview: “If he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”
This then sparked speculation over whether Harry could face deportation from the US.
“In the event of deportation, which he would, of course, fight in the courts, it is likely Harry and Meghan would return to Canada,” royal commentator Richard told us.
“They first sought refuge [there] after stepping down as senior working royals. They have, of course, a holiday home in Portugal.”
Meghan Markle ‘intensely disliked in Britain’
Richard highlighted the couple’s complex relationships on both sides of the Atlantic.
“Meghan is intensely disliked in Britain, and Harry, with the family rift very deep, returns solo, as we have seen,” he explained.
The royal commentator also criticised Harry’s public disclosures in his memoir Spare.
“His admission of taking drugs both in Spare and in the interviews promoting it was highly unwise,” Richard said.
In the event of deportation, which he would, of course, fight in the courts, it is likely Harry and Meghan would return to Canada.
“If the way he lost his virginity and penile frostbite made him a laughing stock, and his admission of the number of Taliban members he killed increased his security risk, his highlighting drug use could lead to potential embarrassments.”
The expert also pointed out the Sussexes’ rocky relationship with Donald Trump, saying there is “no love lost between” them.
Richard went on to note the irony if the Sussexes were to return to Canada.
He said: “It would certainly be ironic if the Sussexes were to return to the country they first sought refuge in. Unlikely as it is, it would mark the end of their American Dream if it happened.”
For now, Harry and Meghan remain based in California, but ongoing political and personal challenges could lead them to reassess their future.
Meghan Markle and Donald Trump’s ‘feud’
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Donald Trump have had a rocky relationship spanning years, beginning during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
While still starring in TV drama Suits, Meghan criticised Trump. In an interview, the former actress called him “misogynistic” and “divisive” and urged people not to vote for him.
In 2019, Trump, then on a state visit to the UK, spoke warmly of Meghan, calling her “very nice” and praising Prince Harry as a “terrific guy”.
Queen Consort Camilla is set to undergo a major title change following the coronation in May, it has recently been reported.
Now, the real reason behind this change in title has been revealed by a royal expert – and it’s not due to her popularity.
Queen Consort Camilla to undergo major title change
Last week it was revealed that Camilla will undergo a major title change at the coronation.
As reported by The Mirror last Thursday (March 16), Camilla will be dropping the ‘Consort’ from her Queen Consort title soon.
Once the coronation is done, the 75-year-old will reportedly be simply known as Queen Camilla going forwards.
The news was revealed when the coronation edition of the bible was leaked.
In it, it reads: “To commemorate the Coronation of their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. In the Abbey Church of St Peter, Westminster. The sixth day of May 2023.”
When Camilla first married Charles, it was expected that she would become Princess Consort when Charles became King.
However, as per the late Queen Elizabeth’s wishes, Camilla’s title was changed to Queen Consort when Charles took the throne.
Now it seems as though another tweak is in order for Camilla’s royal title.
Why is Queen Consort Camilla changing her title?
Now, the real reason behind Camilla’s title change has been revealed – and it’s nothing to do with her popularity.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam spoke exclusively to ED! about the decision to change Camilla’s title and the reasoning behind it.
“Camilla’s history with titles is unique,” he said.
“She was Princess of Wales but chose to be known as the Duchess of Cornwall,” he then continued.
” It was the official position that when Charles ascended the throne she would be known as Princess Consort, until the Queen’s intervention in the eve of her Platinum Jubilee.”
“She is Queen Consort, but it is a heavy handed title,” he then said.
Camilla title change not down to ‘popularity’
The royal expert then continued, saying: “None of the previous three Queen Consorts used it, Alexandra, Mary and Elizabeth were all known as Queen.”
“In the age of social media and the net bad habits such as calling Catherine – Kate Middleton persist,” he then said.
“It also makes sense to make a title easier to use, which is why the change is likely,” he then continued.
Camilla’s history with titles is unique.
Richard then revealed at this point that the title change has nothing to do with popularity.
“It isn’t really linked to her personal popularity,” he said.
However, there is also another reason behind the change, according to the royal expert.
“Queen Consort Camilla sounds clunky so it will probably change,” he revealed.

However, their relationship soured after Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
Trump tweeted that the US would not cover their security costs, emphasising: “They must pay!”
In 2023, Trump’s frustration resurfaced over Prince Harry’s US visa controversy. Trump criticised the Biden administration for keeping Harry’s visa records private.
“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the queen,” he announced to Express US.
Now with Trump back in the White House, what could this mean for Harry and Meghan’s future in the US?
