Will Duchess Meghan return to the UK this year?

It’s been 4 years since Meghan was in the UK, could July 2026 change that?

Meghan Markle’s Possible UK Return in 2026: Why July Is the Date to Watch

People might be interested in a two part documentary about Meghan Markle streaming on Channel 5. There’s very little new information but strung together it demonstrates how relentless she was in her pursuit of fame and money.

I don’t believe that urge will never be satisfied so if there is any benefit whatsoever in coming to the Uk, for instance to open the UK market to her brand, she would do it.

What is surprising is that she showed considerable business acumen with her blogs (The Working Actress and The Tig). She had potential as an influencer when she was an ordinary working actress. She might well have done well if she’d stuck at it.

“Reconciliations may vary”

I agree.

She eeked out relative success from zero talent and relentless hustling as a young woman. I agree she had influencer abilities and she was ahead of the curve with The Tig which she must have put a lot of her own time and energy in to. I don’t know if it translated into significant $$$ for her at the time - but she was expanding her revenue stream from acting. So her tenacity paid off. Then she had an interesting story to tell as a young single woman with no doubt potentially lucrative lifestyle brand tie ups. That would have played to a wide young audience - like hundreds of other influencers.

But I think she has squandered / demystified / destroyed any unique burgeoning and attractive brand values she portrayed in the early days. She personally killed off the spritely, carefree, attractive, intelligent, engaging persona the moment she revealed her real hidden dark, sullen, victim, backstabbing, manipulative character for the first time on the OW interview. She thought she was oh so subtle and clever with her digs and pity party but she misjudged how transparent her motives and negativity came across - and it all backfired. But she kept doubling down with NF, Spare, Spotify and other snipy interviews over the years - to expose and embed herself as brittle, grandiose and delusional. None of those are attractive personal brand values to others.

I will say that programme showed that she had something about her. It’s often forgotten where she got herself to before she met Harry.
She used to excel at leveraging any advantage or contact she had.

Ironically, when she was faking operating at a level she aspired to, she was more successful than when she actually reached it. Her inability to live it authentically has been fatally exposed (IMHO).

‘“she was ahead of the curve with The Tig”

On the contrary. she was waaay behind in the blogosphere, she started her blog in 2014, which was generally when the blog died a death.

She has never been ahead of any curve.

By 2001, blogging was enough of a phenomenon that how-to manuals began to appear, primarily focusing on technique.

In 2004, the role of blogs became increasingly mainstream.

By 2004-2007, blogs started focusing on specific interests, with lifestyle content emerging as a key genre, particularly in regions like Malaysia, notes this Academia.edu PDF.

• Late 2000s - 2010s (Explosion & Commercialization): Lifestyle blogs, often run by women, truly broke through, blending personal narratives with commercial potential (advertorials, affiliate links) and becoming highly profitable niches, attracting broader audiences and becoming a significant part of the digital landscape.

In 2010, the "golden era of blogging," lifestyle content often overlapped heavily with fashion and personal style

Several blogs achieved significant popularity and recognition, often being featured in major publications like Time and Forbes.

2014 (when Meghan started her blog) and after. The evolution of social media and the speed of people reacting to posted content led to increasing declarations of the death of the blog, even as it was acknowledged that what came after would contain a lot of the same DNA as the blog

She’s certainly tenacious and ambitious. However this came at a cost. A very long list of friends, family and colleagues were collateral damage along the way. She didn’t care whose neck she stood on to get ahead. She is the classic narcissist who kisses up and kicks down. She uses her charm and wit to groom and manipulate targets who can add to her elevation, then discards them when of no use to her. She got away with it for many years as she kept moving countries and continents but sadly for her at the top of her mountain not only did she disasterously choose to reveal her true brittle deluded and grandiose self - the sun also shone to spotlight expose her shabby shenanigans for all to scrutinise and show wanting.

Clearly I was too generous!

I used to follow quite a few fashion and lifestyle blogs then, I never heard a whisper of The Tig, it was unknown.

Why pick an airport 1100 miles away?

Have a look at a map.

After leaving Vancouver they had.to clear formalities a major airport in the States before they proceed to SBA....doesn't matter exactly where but it has to be a port of entry.

Seattle is the first such airport on the route...flying further and say, clearing via, LAX would increase flight distance.

From an operational POV routing via Seattle was the obvious choice...not odd at all.

Couple of the recent posts have it absolutely spot on.

What it boils down to is an inescapable truth - that most folks can sense -
A bullshitter.
A fake (laugh, smile, touch)
Someone putting on a show.
Someone who's actions and re-actions are ALL carefully calculated ALL the time.
Never really in the moment, always trying to be a human personification of their blog, i guess. Look at lovely meeee.

Im not talking about someone who's trying hard to get it right. That's easy to see too but it's endearing. There's something different than that going on with M and it just leaves a lot of people cold. It's a spidey sense thing.

Yes @Laistethere is nothing spontaneous about her at all, everything is planned and rehearsed. On the odd occasion the mask slips it’s so obvious and that’s where it goes wrong.

Amen

The thought of Meghan Markle being a Duchess of anything at all is strange to me.

It is and it does, but inexplicably this is the (wrong) version of the title that Meghan herself chooses to use.

Ironically she does have skills and talents, but not the ones she needs. She’s a dynamite saleswoman, she convinced the producers of Suits not to write her character out of an early series, she landed the deals with Netflix and Spotify, she can do that. What she can’t do is anything creative, or of quality.

She would however be a fantastic promoter of someone else’s talents.

You think they care about flight distance? . Did she fly privately? If so I'm guessing that's why the Seattle route - more discrete. Less people to note her leaving.

I agree.

The ‘lady bountiful’, compassionate global philanthropist shtick is so cringe especially when behind closed doors many family, friends, colleagues and staff have been at the end of her bullying, belittling, icing out - all emotional violence and devastating to the recipients.

Actually she’s not even smart enough to have kept it behind closed doors - she chose to proactively expose her own dark, brittle, delusional, fragile ego time and time again with her victim narratives across various media where she attempts to shame and blame others for her woes.

She’s so emotionally ignorant but too grandiose to even know that.

Yes she did that flight in a business jet but I'm really not sure what the problem, issue or mystery with the route is?

M, anyone, you, me, for that matter, can't fly non-stop YVR-SBA, they have to stop somewhere enroute to clear border formalities..

Looking at the map you can see the shortest fastest, most fuel and aircraft efficient way to do it if you had your own bizjet would be fly YVR-SEA, hop off the aircraft at SEA to be processed by US authorities - quite possibly at a specific general aviation facility that many major airports have, then hop back on the same aircraft to fly onwards SEA-SBA...

Going via an intermediate customs airport is a standard process around the world if you are flying privately (bizjet, light aircraft), crossing borders and your final destination airport is not customs/immigration equipped.

She didn't 'land' the media contracts though. Her agent will have done that. And given that it was done at a time when she and Harry were hot properties, and streamers were awash with cash, it's not that great an achievement. An achievement would have been producing quality content and getting a contract renewal in more difficult times, but she and Harry abjectly failed at that.

And I don't think she's a good promoter at all. The opposite. She barely even promotes her own projects. She had a cover story for Harper's and just talked about herself, barely mentioning 'As Ever' or her NF series. A good businesswoman would never squander such a great promotional opportunity, but Meghan did. The only 'product' she cares about is herself.

I don’t believe Meghan would have left any important negotiations to her agents, do you? She wouldn’t be able to keep out of them.

I think she is very persuasive, she just doesn’t deliver.

Of course it will have been an agent who discussed payments, terms etc. I doubt the person who so badly messed up Mexit would be in any way capable of negotiating with professionals.

In any case, as I mentioned above, getting lucrative media contracts wasn't that great an achievement at a time when the Sussexes were at their peak and the streamers had tons of cash. They'll have been competing for their signature. But both she and Harry did next to nothing to promote any of their projects, which I am sure will have been noted by any potential collaborators. That's why neither of them have scored any lucrative deals since the heady Mexit days.

Someone happened to post this on another totally different group I belong to. She lives in California and was excited to see this in Walmart - maybe Meghan will be there next tied up with Betty Crocker?

Ironically, when she was faking operating at a level she aspired to, she was more successful than when she actually reached it. Her inability to live it authentically has been fatally exposed (IMHO)

Probably because she was an actress, @ohpleeeease

As such she could play at belonging at that level and then go home to reality, whereas actually trying to exist at such a level - with all its challenges and her own limitations thrown in - was always going to be beyond her

LOL - the scone mix says "just add butter, milk and water" ... so you are literally paying for some flour, baking powder, a little sugar and perhaps a sachet of strawberry jam! 😂
