Kinsey Schofield has outlined the key reason why Meghan Markle has not returned to the UK since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

Speaking on GB News Breakfast, the showbiz reporter shared her thoughts on why the Duchess of Sussex has chosen not to return to the home of the royal family.

Kinsey revealed: “I've heard from several other royal commentators, Tina Brown, Andrew Morton, they do believe that she is avoiding the UK because she's not very popular there. I do think it's a matter personally of self-preservation.

“She's trying to avoid more negative press and that's what she's going to get if she's booed over there or if, you know, she's not celebrated and welcomed.”

Schofield continued: “I think that the more Meghan distances herself from Harry, she faces criticism from people like us. We're saying look at Megan standing next to these celebrities.

"What a shallow, hollow, vapid pursuit. And then we look at Harry standing next to these vets, and we look at Harry at these charity events by himself.

"And, you know, it's hard not to be more critical of her when we see her at the Beyoncé concert, or we see her smiling for selfies.

“So I think she does need to align herself more with her husband, especially as he pursues these, you know, really honourable events. Really honourable charity pursuits because the more that they are separated and the more she pursues these shallow things, the more she's going to be criticised.”
