Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly plan to ignore Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now that they're back in town.
Rob Shuter, a celebrity journalist and TV personality, told NewsNation that the Prince and Princess of Wales will reportedly "pretty much ignore this circus that’s now back in town," referring to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have finally returned to the U.K. after a six-year hiatus and years of turmoil within the Royal Family.
Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly plan to ignore Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Rob told the outlet, “They look at this strategy in the long term. They don’t care who’s winning today or tomorrow. They have a 5-year, a 10-year plan. And that’s where William and Catherine are at the moment. They’re thinking about what will happen when William is king.”
“And so I think Harry and Meghan, it might be a little bit annoying,” he continued. “It might bother them. And when they read all the coverage in the newspapers over there and see all the TV coverage, I’m sure it gets on their nerves. But they have a steel backbone. They will keep doing the work.”
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are reportedly returning as “private citizens” and will remain “non-working royals.”
Rob Shuter Feels the British People Might Not Welcome Meghan Markle Back
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have returned to the U.K. as 'private citizens' and will remain 'non-working royals.'
Talking to the outlet, the former publicist of the Royal Family also expressed some doubt about whether British people will support the Sussexes' move back or not.
According to the recent polling results, Meghan's U.K. approval is reportedly around 18%, while Harry's is roughly in the 30s.
However, even though the Duke of Sussex is unpopular at the moment, Rob believes he will be forgiven at some point, but the Duchess won't.

Rob Shuter expressed some doubt about whether British people will support Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's move back or not.
Rob said, “Harry’s still that young kid that walked behind his mother’s coffin. That is ingrained into many people of my generation’s memory. And so I think it’s easy here to forgive Harry.”
“The tricky part is going to be Meghan,” he continued. “We do know that she’s already reached out to a few charities. And so maybe she’s going to try and rebuild those bridges, that trust. But she has a really tough road ahead of her.”
Rob Shuter Also Believes the Sussexes Won't Align With Sarah Ferguson
Rob Shuter speculated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might not align with Sarah Ferguson.
Adding to his claims, Rob further speculated that Harry and Meghan might not align with Sarah Ferguson, who is the former wife of Prince Andrew.
“I think Harry and Meghan are way too smart to bring somebody in who is just as toxic as they are,” he acknowledged.
Sarah, meanwhile, is returning to the U.K. after a scandal of her own after she was found to have alleged ties to disgraced financier and late child s-- offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
