Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Reportedly Planning Their First U.S. Tour
Start prepping your Suits-themed “Welcome Home” signs, because Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly planning a trip to the United States next year. This news comes from the latest edition of Us Weekly, which claims the duke and duchess of Sussex are eyeing a trip to Markle’s home country in spring 2019. Do you hear that? That’s the sound of every millennial—particularly the Kappa Kappa Gammas at Northwestern University—erupting in pure joy.
“They are so excited to head to the U.S.,” a palace insider told Us Weekly. “Meghan is looking forward to introducing Harry to everything she loves about the U.S.” If a trip to the studio where Deal or No Deal was filmed isn’t on the itinerary, then I’ll be extremely disappointed.
All jokes aside, Us Weekly reports Markle and Prince Harry have no official plans for this U.S. trip, but they’re “thinking New York, Washington, D.C., and California,” will be the spots to visit. “They’re working to finalize locations and venues,” the sourced added. Chicago is also a possibility, as is a quick stop in Canada. “The Canadian Foreign Office has heard about the tour and would love to have them stop there. This may very well become a North American tour,” the sorce said.
The duke and duchess reportedly want to “solidify ties between the U.K. and the U.S.” on this trip, and “highlight and foster” the two countries’ relationship. This report is coming on the heels of President Donald Trump’s recent visit with Queen Elizabeth II, in which he reportedly broke royal protocol multiple times.
Of course, it’s important to take this news with a grain of salt. After all, Us Weekly‘s report ends with a claim that Markle is planning a solo trip to America this summer, which she wants to do before becoming a mom. That seems like a stretch—and more important, it’s frustrating that our culture is putting a biological clock on Markle. Let’s stop doing that, and just cross our fingers she and Prince Harry are coming Stateside soon.
