Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially back in the UK, and the royal family has been awfully quiet about it. But one person says she’s excited to have Harry living close by: Princess Diana’s niece, who has now become the first family member to welcome him home publicly.
It makes sense; Harry has always seemed closer to the Spencers. But still, isn’t it a little strange that the royals haven’t released some kind of statement, even if just to save face?
Princess Diana’s niece spoke to a British news outlet.
Lady Eliza Spencer — who is the daughter of Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer — seems pretty pleased that her cousin Harry is back in the UK.
On Wednesday, at an event to launch her new rosé brand Lala V, she told Mirror, “Absolutely, it’s exciting! We would love to be able to find some time to visit.”
There’s no word on how much time she’s spent with Meghan (after all, she and Harry did leave the UK just a couple of years after tying the knot) but she did go to her wedding to Harry. And as far as we can tell, they do have a few things in common. Meghan’s brand, As Ever, also sells wines, so if nothing else, they have that topic to get chatting about.
Harry may be more inclined to hang out with the Spencers — for now, anyway.
