Meghan Markle pours cold water on Prince Harry's 'half-in, half-out' royal plan

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may not be on the same page, as she has rejected her husband's "half-in, half-out" plan.

On Friday, an insider spilled to RadarOnline.com that the Duchess of Sussex has refused to perform royal duties on a part-time basis.

Meghan's decision has caused tension in her relationship with Harry, as he is trying to mend his fractured relationship with his family.

The former actress is said to remain committed to the life the couple has established in California, whereas Harry is keen to revisit the "half-in, half-out" arrangement that the Royal Family rejected in 2020.

"Meghan's position is that the question was settled years ago. She isn't interested in recreating a hybrid royal existence now that they have established an entirely different future in America," the souce claimed.

The insider further told the outlet, "She supports Harry having a relationship with his father and pursuing the work that matters to him in Britain, but that doesn't mean she wants to become a working member of the Royal Family again."

"Harry sees an opportunity to recover something they originally hoped might be possible, whereas Meghan looks at everything they have created since leaving and asks why she should reverse course. Their businesses, their home, and the children's lives are centered in California," a tipster continued. From her perspective, returning to royal duties would require sacrificing too much of that independence."

The source added, "The idea of establishing a British base is particularly difficult for Meghan. Harry believes having somewhere near Windsor would make regular visits easier and give the children stronger connections with Britain, but Meghan doesn't see relocating to the UK, even part time, as part of her future. That is where their positions are furthest apart."
