Meghan and Harry’s UK Visit Takes Back Seat to Queen’s Busy Schedule

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's upcoming visit to the UK has been overshadowed by the Queen's busy schedule, according to royal commentator Danielle Elser.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to return to the UK in September to work with charities close to their hearts, but their visit will not take priority over a busy royal schedule.

The Queen will be occupied with the Conservative Party's leadership vote to choose the country's next prime minister when Meghan and Harry arrive in Manchester on September 5 for the opening ceremony of the One Young World Summit.

The next day, Boris Johnson will formally resign and return the keys to 10 Downing Street.

As Elser noted, the Palace has already confirmed that the Sovereign will interrupt her summer holiday in Balmoral to return to London for the change in leadership and as is usual will meet with not only the new PM but outgoing Johnson as well.

This means that the Sussexes high-wattage return will be unceremoniously shunted down the ladder into second or third place on the day, setting the stage for a potentially very awkward situation with the Queen.

Meghan and Harry are likely to stay in their former royal residence, Frogmore Cottage, during their visit to the UK.

This means that the couple could be just a nine-minute stroll away from the Queen's primary residence, Windsor Castle.

If both parties find themselves only minutes' drive away from one another and the nonagenarian does not make any effort to see them, then it will be nothing short of abjectly humiliating for the duo.

If the Duke and Duchess do fly 8,500km around the globe only to be cold-shouldered by Her Majesty, it would be a stinging blow that is unlikely to impress their Netflix paymasters.

Disaffected, self-exiled former HRHs who the amiable, widely-loved Queen won't see make for a much harder sell to audiences.

Ms Elser's comments come amid wide speculation about Meghan and Harry's multi-million-pound deals with Netflix and Spotify.

It remains unclear whether Meghan and Harry will be filmed during their visit to the UK in September.

Film cameras were not allowed to follow them during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations to avoid overshadowing the Queen's achievement.

In other news, Meghan Markle reportedly wants answers from Prince Harry regarding the low attendance ratio at his UN speech in New York City.

Royal expert Neil Sean offered insight into this marital scuffle and explained how it was not a good look for either of their brands.

Taking to his YouTube channel, Sean explained that it must have been very difficult for Harry.

It kind of looked like a British pantomime that hadn't sold out.

All those empty seats are never a good look.

According to the UN, it wasn't really that well publicised, but this was put into the world's media.

Everybody would have known about it, so what was the particular problem?

Meghan wants answers, naturally, because they made that big effort to come all the way from California to spend time in New York, and when they arrived, there wasn't the welcome they both anticipated.

It was announced on Monday that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be returning to the UK for a surprise visit in September.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Manchester and London to work with charities close to their hearts.

According to a spokesperson for the couple, Meghan and Harry are delighted to be returning to the prince's home country.

It will mark the Sussexes' first UK visit since they came back for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.

Meghan and Harry joined other members of the royal family to honour the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

Their return was highly anticipated as Meghan had not been seen publicly with other royals since the couple's dramatic exit from the firm two years ago.

While it is unknown whether the Sussexes plan to meet with members of the royal family during their return, one commentator has already claimed that their visit will not take priority over a busy royal schedule.

Danielle Elser, the royal writer for Australian website news.com.au, noted that the Queen in particular may be too busy for a reunion with the couple.

Meghan and Harry are likely to stay in their former royal residence, Frogmore Cottage, during their visit to the UK.
