Meghan Markle 'determined to avoid the UK' as she wants 'nothing to do with Royal Family'

Meghan Markle is "determined" that she wants "nothing to do with" the UK or the Royal Family, claims royal expert and author Tom Quinn.

The Duchess of Sussex didn't join Prince Harry in the UK earlier this month - and has not visited Britain at all for almost two years.

As reported by the Mirror, Meghan - who was last in the UK for the late Queen's funeral in September 2022 - wants to stay away from the UK "for the foreseeable future".

According to Mr Quinn, the former actress is "determined" to stick to her decision. This has reportedly left King Charles feeling "deeply distressed" as he sees the ongoing feud with Meghan and Harry as "pointless".

Speaking to the Mirror, Mr Quinn added: "Meghan wants absolutely nothing to do with the Royal Family."

He continued: "Camilla, who always has Charles' mental and physical health in the forefront of her mind knows her husband is deeply distressed by a family feud that he sees as pointless.

"King Charles has made his peace with his own past and he feels that bearing a grudge for such a long time is mainly evidence that Harry is also being led astray by others."

Although Meghan is "determined" to stay away from the UK, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams recently told Express.co.uk that the Sussexes could travel to the UK at some point to allow the monarch to see his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Despite the fact this meeting may not happen yet, he said he believes Meghan may make the trip for the sake of her children.

Mr Fitzwilliams said: "[Meghan] might, of course, bring Archie and Lili to see their grandfather, King Charles, but the circumstances where that might be a possibility currently clearly do not apply. However, if she were to, her reception would obviously be more muted."

Meghan and Harry now reside in a £12 million mansion in California with Archie, 5, and Lilibet, who will celebrate her third birthday next week.
