Prince Harry pleads with Meghan Markle to reconnect with UK roots

Prince Harry is reportedly requesting Meghan Markle to accompany him on a trip to the United Kingdom.

According to sources who spoke to Closer Magazine, the 41-year-old prince feels the urge to reconnect with his roots, as he’s currently very “homesick.”

Shortly after the royal couple’s surprising appearance at the star-studded Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday bash, Harry feels like visiting his home country.

An insider revealed that the Duke of Sussex found the experience of Jenner’s party “awkward,” while, on the contrary, Meghan had a “dream night.”

"He’s very homesick right now and pleading with Meghan to line up a trip or two to the UK, but she won’t hear of it," the tipster shared.

They further dished, “For her, this is a time to grab opportunity with both hands and there's no reason or excuse for Harry to be moaning or acting like a brat."

"She needs him on top form and playing the game right now, instead of pining for the boring old life they left behind five years ago. She simply won’t tolerate it," the source continued.

In the earlier days of living in the States after stepping down from their royal roles, Harry and Meghan socialised with a “very different crowd” compared to now.

"There was a time when dinner invitations were coming in from the Obamas, George Clooney and even Steven Spielberg, but that didn’t last, and now they’ve found themselves in a totally different social set," the source stated.

However, the Duke has never "been the type that wants to meet people just for the sake of making connections," the confidant noted.

Harry remains content with having his social circle small but also understands that his wife “needs to be out there building her brand, and he respects that, but that doesn’t mean he enjoys it or wants to be dragged along."

"He finds it all very performative and fake, whereas Meghan seems to thrive on the whole scene. They're not aligned at all and only time will tell if Harry will continue to grin and bear it," the source noted.

Notably, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party at the Beverly Hills mansion of Jeff Bezos, alongside Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Mark Zuckerberg, Beyoncé, and more.
