Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drop huge hint they'll 'never return' to royal roles

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left a telling clue that they won't ever return to their royal roles, according to an expert.

The couple sensationally quit as senior working royals almost three years ago and moved to the US, where they have carved out a new life while being financially independent. Last month, the pair happened to be in the UK conducting a series of charity visits when Harry's grandmother the Queen died - and they reunited with their royal relatives for her funeral. In a tribute to the late monarch, Harry also said he would honour his father King Charles in his new role.

However, in a refresh to the homepage of Harry and Meghan's Archewell foundation website now they've returned to California, new photos from their charity visits to the UK and Germany to the UK have been posted alongside the quote: "Each of us can change our communities. All of us can change the world."

However, the front page of the website makes no mention of the royals, their former roles or the late Queen.

And according to royal expert and biographer Angela Levin, this change is sending out a clear message that they don't want a return to the royal fold.

She told The Sun : "What's very interesting is you can always read the underlying content of what they want to say really, and the main thing, right at the beginning, is 'each of us can change our communities'.

"I think that's saying very much that they can do without the royal family, they don't need them, they're fine where they are, they're building another community.

"'And then 'all of us can change the world', they're back to wanting to be global and saying to the Royal Family, 'we can do without you', but actually they can't."

Last week, Meghan opened up about the Queen's death for the first time in a new interview, admitting it was a "complicated time" for the family.

Speaking for a cover story of Variety magazine, she also reflected on the time she spent with the monarch, who died on September 8, and revealed how the royal family are coping with the loss.

She said: "There’s been such an outpouring of love and support. I’m really grateful that I was able to be with my husband to support him, especially during that time.

"What’s so beautiful is to look at the legacy that his grandmother was able to leave on so many fronts. Certainly, in terms of female leadership, she is the most shining example of what that looks like.

"I feel deep gratitude to have been able to spend time with her and get to know her. It’s been a complicated time, but my husband, ever the optimist, said, ‘Now she’s reunited with her husband'.

“I’ve reflected on that first official engagement that I had with her, how special that felt. I feel fortunate. And I continue to be proud to have had a nice warmth with the matriarch of the family.”

Meanwhile in the same interview, Meghan appeared to make a fresh dig at the Royal Family with a remark about "expectations" for the future of her children Archie and Lilibet.

She told Variety Magazine that if either child told her of their aspirations to work in entertainment, she would say: "'Great!’", adding "When you become a parent, you genuinely want your kids to find the things that bring them complete joy."

But she continues: "They’re our kids, obviously, and they’re part of a legacy and a tradition and a family that will have other expectations.

"But I want them to be able to carve out their own path. If it’s the entertainment industry, great. And also, good luck.

"There are so many people that will talk about what opened the door for my children. But it still takes talent and a lot of grit. We’re creating multi-dimensional, interesting, kind, creative people. That's who our kids are."
