Meghan Markle could have been seen as a valuable asset to the
Royal Family but 'blew' it and 'threw it in their faces', according to a royal expert. The former Suits
Actress married into the Royal Family in May 2018 when she wed
Prince Harry , and initially it was thought that she had 'all the right attributes' to be a working royal, but that soon changed when she and Harry stepped back from royal life in 2020. The couple have since made explosive and controversial comments during interviews and their
Netflix series about their experience in The Firm. Now a royal expert has suggested that the
Duchess of Sussex was given the chance to be 'an asset' to the royal family but 'blew it'. For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the

Meghan Markle 'could never be forced' to return to the
UK and will have 'final say' for Harry Meghan Markle was initially thought to be a 'huge asset' to the Royal Family ( Image: Getty Images) Former royal correspondent Charles Rae claimed on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show : "We wanted to give her a chance. She had everything really, she was American, she was an actress, and she was good looking. She had all the right attributes to be a good member of the Royal Family and she blew it." He added that, in comparison, the Princess of Wales had become "a huge asset" to the Royal Family and it had been thought that Meghan might be the same. The comments come after it's been claimed that whilst Prince Harry is said to be keen to mend the royal rift and repair his relationship with his family and potentially return to the UK, Meghan will be the ultimate decider. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has explained that the former Suits actress will ultimately 'have the final say' as he told The Sun : "If Meghan didn't want to come she could never be forced to. It would be extremely unlikely Harry would come over with the kids without Meghan." Turning her back on royal duties, Meghan Markle steped down from royal life in 2020 ( Image: Getty Images) The comments come as it's been revealed that Prince Harry will visit the UK next month to celebrate 10 years of the
Invictus Games in May, and it's likely that Meghan will not accompany him. An expert has revealed the former Suits actress is unlikely to visit the UK due to fears over safety and the 'drama' that would likely unfold with the Royal Family. Meghan has made a return to the UK since the pair stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 but only on rare occasions which included
Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022. However, she did not return for King Charles III’s coronation last year, which Harry attended alone. Follow the Mirror US News page on
