The unforgivable betrayal Australians won’t forget as Harry and Meghan plot a comeback Down Under. Did they really think we’d let it go? AMANDA GOFF

🚨 ROYAL SHOCK: Fury in Australia as Prince Harry and Meghan plan comeback – “Did they really think we’d forget?” 😱

A fresh wave of controversy is building as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly consider a return to Australia — a move that has already sparked fierce debate among royal watchers and commentators.

According to columnist Amanda Goff, the couple’s potential comeback Down Under is reopening wounds many Australians say never truly healed.

🇦🇺 A relationship that once seemed unbreakable

When Harry and Meghan first toured Australia in 2018, the reception was nothing short of electric. Crowds lined the streets, cheering the newly married couple and celebrating what many saw as a modern chapter for the monarchy.

But in the years since, that goodwill has been tested.

Their dramatic departure from royal duties in 2020 — widely known as Megxit — changed the relationship between the Sussexes and much of the public.

For some Australians, the move symbolized independence.
For others, it felt like a betrayal of the institution they represented.

💥 The “betrayal” critics say they can’t forget

Critics argue the couple crossed a line with a series of explosive interviews and projects after leaving royal life.

These included their highly publicized conversation with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, and Harry’s bestselling memoir Spare.

In those appearances, the couple made deeply personal revelations about life inside the royal family — accusations that shocked supporters of the monarchy and fueled years of headlines.

For critics, those moments are still fresh.

Many now question whether a public return to Australia could ever recreate the enthusiasm the couple once enjoyed.

⚠️ A comeback that could divide opinion

Supporters of Harry and Meghan argue the criticism is unfair. They believe the couple simply chose to step away from a system they felt was damaging and are now building their own path.

But detractors say the damage to their reputation — particularly among strong monarchists — may be difficult to repair.

That tension is exactly why talk of an Australian return has become so controversial.

Would the public welcome them again with open arms…
or would the reaction be far colder than before?

👀 A test of public memory

If the Sussexes do make a return visit, it could become a powerful test of how the public truly feels about them today.

Australia once celebrated them as symbols of change within the monarchy.

Now, years later, the mood appears far more complicated.

As the debate intensifies, one question continues to echo among critics and supporters alike:

Did Harry and Meghan really think Australia would simply forget everything that happened?
