Amidst the recent announcement from Buckingham Palace regarding King Charles’ cancer diagnosis, Meghan Markle has made the decision not to accompany her husband, Prince Harry, on his journey back to the UK.
The Duke of Sussex was seen hurrying to catch a flight at Los Angeles Airport, leaving behind Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in Montecito, California.
Speculations suggest that Meghan’s absence from this crucial family moment may be attributed to her reluctance to revisit England, a sentiment echoed by royal author Omid Scobie in his book “Endgame.”
According to Scobie, Meghan has expressed a firm stance against returning to the UK, citing her discomfort and lack of belonging during her time there.
Following their departure as senior royals in 2020, Meghan and Harry relocated to California, where they have since settled.
However, with news of King Charles’ health condition, Harry has chosen to make the trip back to the UK to stand by his father’s side.
Reports indicate that the Duke was personally informed of the King’s diagnosis by the monarch himself.
The recent statement from Buckingham Palace confirmed the King’s cancer diagnosis, revealing that it was detected during a medical procedure for an unrelated benign condition.
King Charles has commenced immediate treatment for the newly identified cancer, prompting him to temporarily scale back on public engagements to focus on his health.
Expressing gratitude towards his medical team for their swift action, the King remains optimistic about his treatment and aims to resume his official duties once his health permits.
By sharing his diagnosis publicly, King Charles hopes to raise awareness about cancer and offer support to those impacted by the disease worldwide.
As Prince Harry prepares to reunite with his father during this challenging time, the absence of Meghan Markle from this significant family gathering underscores her firm resolve to distance herself from past experiences in the UK.
Despite the familial ties and royal obligations, Meghan’s decision to stay in California reflects her unwavering stance on avoiding a return to England.
