Dickie Arbiter, a former press spokesman for Queen Elizabeth II and recipient of the Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order, has expressed skepticism about the return of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the public eye. Arbiter, who served closely with the late monarch and continues to work as a royal commentator, author, and presenter, reflects on the couple’s decision to re-engage with the UK after stepping back from royal duties six years ago.

Describing their initial departure as a “freedom flight,” Arbiter questioned the motivation behind Harry and Meghan’s renewed presence, suggesting that the couple had been eager to leave the country previously. He argued that their attempt to challenge or destabilize the monarchy would not succeed, emphasizing the institution’s enduring strength in the face of controversy.

Arbiter’s comments come ahead of his media appearances promoting his latest book, *On Duty With The Royals*, which draws on his extensive experience working within the royal household. While he acknowledged the Sussexes’ past difficulties and their desire to step away from royal responsibilities, he remains confident that the monarchy, as an institution, remains resilient despite ongoing challenges.

As public interest continues to focus on the Sussexes’ evolving relationship with the royal family and their activities in both the United Kingdom and abroad, Arbiter’s perspective reflects a broader debate about the monarchy’s ability to adapt and maintain stability amid changing dynamics.
