Meghan Markle does not want to return to the UK because polls have shown her popularity in the UK is "plummeting", an expert tells Daily Express US.

Prince Harry is in the UK to attend an event for the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

But Meghan has stayed in the US, having not been back to the UK since September 2022 for the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich tells Daily Express US she believes an incident that occurred at St Paul's Cathedral in June 2022 is a big reason why Meghan won't come back to Britain.

In June 2022, Meghan and Harry were booed as they left a service of thanksgiving at the time.

Ms Fordwich said: "When they were booed leaving St Paul's Cathedral...she is an accomplished actress, but it was tough for her to hold a smile. You could see the grimace. She won't want to put herself through that again.

"Since her ratings have fallen further, she is unlikely to want to experience that or worse.

"If her popularity had improved, there may have been a chance she could come tot he UK again. But the fact her popularity has plummeted since she was booed...she is unlikely to want to test those waters."

Ms Fordwich's comments come as a new poll finds that only 25 percent of Britons have a favourable view of the Duchess.

The Mail on Sunday/IPSOS poll found that 42 percent of 18 to 34-year-olds viewed Meghan favourably as opposed to 12 percent of 55 to 75-year-olds.

Harry was seen slightly better by both groups – 49 percent of the younger generation and 18 percent of the older generation gave a positive verdict.

As for King Charles, 56 percent said he is doing a good job.

Gideon Skinner of IPSOS said: “As the King returns to public duties he is greeted by a further boost in favourability ratings for himself and other core members of the Royal Family.

“The question for the monarchy is whether this is a short-term improvement driven by a swell in public sympathy or whether it can be maintained – particularly among younger generations where the Royals need to focus their engagement efforts.”
