Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex's return to Britain is likely to “end badly”, a London based journalist has predicted.
The couple left for America on acrimonious terms in early 2020, with the Duchess later telling Oprah that she “didn't want to be alive any more” during her time as a working member of the British Royal Family.
In his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry also detailed a row he had with Prince William, in which his older brother called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”. The book then alleges that William pushed Harry to the floor. The pair are not on speaking terms.
Harry has also rarely seen his father since he left for America and King Charles has only met his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, a handful of times.
On Newstalk Breakfast, TRT World Presenter Enda Brady said it is unlikely to be too long before the Sussexes reveal the reason for their return.
“It looks as if education and schooling is at the heart of this,” he speculated.
“But as ever with Harry, there will be many layers and I'm guessing it will all come out in the wash.”

It all means, Mr Brady predicted, that “tensions will be ramping up” between Harry and his relatives.
“Obviously, Diana's anniversary is just 11 days away, so there'll be a big focus on Harry and William and their mother in the next two weeks,” he said.
“Of course, his uncle, Charles Spencer, has a book coming out in September about Diana.
“I think the tensions are going to be exacerbated because, look, Harry hates the media with a passion. He took that case and lost.
There's still the issue of about €20 million worth of legal fees to be sorted out between him and Elton John and all the other people who claimed against that newspaper group.”

“I think what Harry will want is just privacy and get back to just an ordinary, quiet English life,” Mr Brady said.
“I don't think it's going to happen; it will only be a matter of time before the property they have leased or purchased is found and then you will see photographers following them around and it will end badly.
“I mean, an actress who can't act and a prince who doesn't want to be a prince, it's quite a strange combination.
“Look, Loose Women are always up for a guest or two, so can you imagine that?”
