Meghan Markle 'ready to return to UK' and 'feels validated' by the public's response

Meghan Markle may be ready to return the UK in the future after feeling "validated" by the warm welcome she received from mourners this week, an expert has claimed.

These included a teenager in the crowds at Windsor castle who gave her a warm hug. They chatted briefly before Meghan comforted her her and put her hand on the teenager's shoulder.

Royal expert Neil Sean claimes the public's response to the Duchess, who has rocked the royal boat with a series of bombshell claims since moving to the US with husband Prince Harry, will have encouraged her to feel that she is liked in the UK, and could mean she is ready to "return to the UK at some point".

Speaking 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."
