**Headline:****Palace Slams Door on Sussexes’ Return: Meghan’s Push Met with Firm Royal Rebuff** Amid reports that Meghan Markle spearheaded a quiet campaign for her and Prince Harry’s return to royal duties, Buckingham Palace issued a pointed statement on October 17, 2025, shutting down any hopes of a comeback. Citing the finality of their 2020 exit, the Palace asserted that public service “cannot be partially resumed” without full allegiance to royal principles. The move is widely seen as a direct response to behind-the-scenes pleas—particularly from Meghan—whose struggling business ventures and declining public favor have fueled speculation of a strategic re-entry. Palace insiders describe the rejection as unanimous and “non-negotiable,” marking a decisive close to any half-in, half-out arrangement.

On October 17, 2025, Buckingham Palace officially issued a statement that caused a stir in British public opinion: “There is no way that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will return to performing royal duties.” This is considered a strong response to the information that Meghan Markle secretly conducted a “secret campaign” to persuade the Royal Family to allow her and her husband to partially resume their public duties.

According to exclusive sources from the British media, Meghan is said to be the one who actively planned this plan, hoping to “reintegrate” into the Royal Family after a series of failures in her business career and personal image. However, the Palace’s response was extremely cold. A short but decisive statement was made: “Serving the public is a total duty, it cannot be done half-heartedly.”

This statement is considered a “slammed door” to all efforts of the Sussexes. Buckingham Palace stressed that Harry and Meghan’s decision to step down as royals in 2020 was “final and irreversible.” Insiders said that senior members of the royal family – including King Charles III and Prince William – were unanimous in rejecting any “half-hearted” return from Harry and his wife.

Analysts said that this reaction was not only principled but also a move to protect the reputation of the royal family. After a series of controversial interviews, especially the blockbuster conversation with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 and the documentary “Harry & Meghan” on Netflix, the relationship between the Sussexes and the British royal family has almost completely broken down. Allegations of discrimination, indifference and internal conflicts have seriously damaged trust between the two sides.

A royal source told The Times: “No one in the Royal Family wants to repeat the old script. They have chosen their own path, and the Palace respects that — but they will never be allowed to ‘come and go’ as they please.”

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is said to be facing financial difficulties after a number of commercial projects failed to meet expectations. Sources close to her revealed that her fashion and beauty brands are facing a serious decline in revenue, forcing her to seek to revive her image by “getting closer” to the Royal Family.

However, British public opinion does not seem to support this intention. Many believe that Harry and Meghan have personally severed their relationship with the Royal Family, and their desire to return after their failure in the US will only further damage their image. On social media, a wave of criticism spread: “When they had everything in their hands, they gave up. Now they have lost everything, they want to go back. How ironic.”

Currently, the Sussexes have not made any official response to the Palace’s statement. However, the media commented that this could be the real end to any hope of reintegration between them and the British Royal Family.

Buckingham Palace, once again, showed its steadfast stance: “The Royal Family is not a place for people who only want to choose glory, leaving responsibilities behind.”

With this statement, the Royal door officially closed on Harry and Meghan – forever.
