Queen's Death May Result in Meghan & Harry Being Separated or Having a 'Commuter Arrangement,' Claims Expert

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 8, at Balmoral Castle, surrounded by her loved ones. Prince Harry wasn't at his grandma's deathbed. He arrived at Balmoral more than an hour after the announcement of the Queen's death.

After more than a year away from the royal palace, royal researcher Tina Brown claimed that the Queen's death might lead Harry back to his roots, causing a long-distance marriage between the Prince and his wife.

Since his birth, Prince Harry's life has been under constant watch. He is not only a royal but the youngest son of one of the monarchy's most loved princesses, Diana.

Over the years, Harry has grown from a recalcitrant teenager, ignoring palace protocols, to a family man with two kids, following his union with an unlikely lover, Meghan Markle, an American divorcee and actress with African-American roots.

This is not the first time the palace would witness a romance between an odd couple. While it holds a similar theme to Princess Margaret's love interest—a divorcee (they never married) and Prince Charles' matchmaking with a 20-year-old virgin, Harry's love tale is the bravest.

In 2018, the Queen gave her blessings to her grandson's marriage to the Hollywood star, and biracial one-time divorcee, solidifying the proof that the monarchy's ultimate goal is to survive.

The Beginning of Harry and Markle’s Journey to Forever

Neither Harry nor Markle knew about each other's history before meeting each other. Yet while they came from two very separate worlds, their hearts merged as one almost as soon as they met.

They were paired for a blind date by a mutual friend, and after the first date night, their relationship progressed into one of the most talked-about romances in history!

A few months later, Harry introduced his lover to his family. After the acceptance from family members, he surprised his American girlfriend by proposing at his home in Kensington Palace.

It was such a mesmerizing moment, as an all-excited Markle barely waited for him to finish before saying yes. Harry sweetly recalled that they hugged before he brought out the stunning rock. Harry had customized the engagement ring.

It was a yellow band featuring two rocks Diana owned and a center diamond from Botswana. Markle saw the design as proof of Harry's thoughtfulness as the couple had camped in Botswana, cementing their relationship after they met.

So having a precious stone from the country, plus two from his deceased mother, was mind-blowing. The duo displayed extreme pride and confidence in their decision to get married. Harry confirmed that he was excited, while his bride-to-be was "very happy."

Prince Harry's Relationship Was Destined for Drama

Following the uniqueness of their background and personalities, it was evident that Prince Harry's relationship with Markle would exhibit tendencies of drama, as opposed to his older brother Prince William.

An insider opined that the couple is "addicted to drama," and experts likened Harry's temperament to his maternal relatives, the Spencers, who have been described as a "hot-headed, impetuous family with a lot of swashbuckling drama."

They tagged them as opposites to the Windsors, William and Kate, who were always trying to douse fires and never quick to start any.

One such drama was when they shocked the world and relatives with their exit from the royal family in the new year. The couple shared a post via their Instagram account, expressing their sadness, but adding that it was a necessary move.

Tina Brown, a royal researcher, maintained that the couple could have exited more graciously instead of the surprise stunt they pulled.

Brown added that a royal staff member told her everyone knew that Harry would leave someday because of his personality; he was never happy in the palace. However, what did not sit right was how it happened.

After their exit, the couple had an honest conversation with Oprah Winfrey, where they talked about their time at the royal palace.

One of the few reasons the couple gave for their exit was racism. At first, it was the diversity problem, as she did not meet anyone with a similar background as hers, but as time went by, the actress began to feel isolated.

When she reached out for help, the palace seemingly refused to help her, and the thought of rejection from where she now called home made her suicidal.

Harry and Markle observed the situation and decided that it was better for their offspring to have a life away from the monarchy. They were new parents to their son, Archie, and did not want him to witness the constraints.

Was Megxit a Disaster?

In the same interview, Brown explained that their dramatic decision was a "disaster all around." According to her, neither Harry nor the royals gained from their exit.

Brown added that Markle failed to counsel her husband correctly, concluding that it was a bad decision. However, she mentioned that their exit created a vacuum no one could fill because they were the stars of the family.

The writer also talked about how Harry almost took his mother's place in the hearts of the Britons, and when he brought his wife, they all accepted him.

Now that things have gone bad, and they are no longer around the palace to wave at the crowd and bring on their star power, Brown thinks that it will affect the crown badly, especially now that the Queen is gone.

Despite the severed relationship between Harry, his father, and his brother, the Prince had always maintained a closeness with his grandmother.

In an interview, he refused to comment about whether he missed his family in Britain but revealed that he had frequently talked with the Queen. According to him, home is now the US, and he is overwhelmed by the ongoing security rows in the UK's Home Office.

Any Possibility of Harry’s Return Following His Grandmother’s Death?

Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving British monarch and celebrated her Platinum Jubilee this year. She served her country for seventy years and went through administrations ruled by multiple different prime ministers.

Brown opined that the British people would experience an identity crisis after the Queen's death, which would require the royal family to stand together, including bringing Harry home to play his part.

Consequently, Harry would probably come alone, as his wife does not like England. This departure would also mean that the couple would enter into a commuter arrangement to have a long-distance marriage.

While many are pessimistic about Charles' leadership, and his popularity is much lower than the late Queen's, Brown confidently talked about how much of a better ruler he will be than the next in line, William.

While she maintains confidence in his leadership, Brown explained that the King has always lived in the shadow of his mother and son.
