Meghan Markle may return to the UK in the future following the positive response she received from crowds of mourners this week, an expert has said. The warm welcomes include a hug from a teenager in the crowd at Windsor Castle whom Meghan chatted with briefly before putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
The Duchess has been at the centre of a series of controversial claims regarding the royal family as she moved to the US with her husband, Prince Harry, The Mirror reports. However, royal expert, Neil Sean believes that the British public's welcoming demeanour will have made Meghan feel more confident to return to the UK based off the reassurance from these warm interactions.
On his Youtube channel, he said: "Meghan was ready and willing to meet the public. She was terrified about how the public might perceive her particularly over here in the UK but all those fears were pushed away very quickly.
"Meghan now feels validated because the British people do like her. You can understand how this could be the case because there she is in a very delicate situation and there's the crowd happy to see her.
"For her now, what she really feels is that they are ready and willing to embrace their return at some point back to the UK. What happened on Saturday proves she is liked but it's not just the British public that have to forgive her, it's senior members of the monarchy."
During the appearance and visit which lasted more than 40 minutes, the crowd chanted "Hip, hip, hooray" as the Royal group left. Julie Watson, 56, said it "lovely" to see them all together.
Ms Watson also met the newly titled Princess of Wales during the walkabout. She said: "I love Kate. She's beautiful. I said I feel sad that the Queen has passed away and she had a tear in her eye. She wasn't crying but her eyes looked watery.''
Her daughters Skye, 13, and Faye, 10, shook hands with both Kate and Meghan. Angela Fleming, who met Prince Harry said that the hour-and-a-half wait outside was worth it, describing their appearance as "unexpected."
The Mirror reported how the new Princess of Wales reacted to her new title on Friday saying she "appreciates the history associated with this role". King Charles announced Kate would take the title, the first person to use it since the late Princess Diana, in his first speech since the Queen's death.
He said: "As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me. He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.
"Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, 'Tywysog Cymru', the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.
"With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given."
