Sources at Buckingham Palace believe that nobody knows whether she will come back to Britain after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sensationally axed staff members at their UK base in Frogmore. And as they continue to review their role with the Royal Family, some close to the palace have grimly revealed the latest. One said: “Outside of anything that is being decided between the private offices [the nerve centres of royal operations] and the British and Canadian governments this week, no-one here believes that the duchess will ever really return to the UK in a meaningful way.”
Earlier on Thursday, at least two full-time employees were sacked from their roles as house manager and cleaner at Frogmore Cottage.
Other members of staff, including freelance chefs and maids, have been told they will no longer be needed to help the Sussexes.
A source told the MailOnline: “The workers are already being offered other roles at Buckingham Palace.
“There is a skeleton staff there all the time, consisting of one cleaner and a house manager. Others work as and when needed.
“This has all come as a bit of shock. They took great pride in working for them and being at Frogmore.”
However, a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess declined to comment.
It comes as tensions erupted as a bitter dispute between Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Buckingham Palace went nuclear after the trio were unable to agree on the Sussexes’ future cash plans.
Numerous stumbling blocks have been encountered from both sides, with Government officials claiming the Sussexes controversial split may take six months to fully occur.

They add that they will be “carefully considered on their merits and in an agreed framework”.
It had been hoped that the Queen would release a progress statement on Friday that could bring a speedy end to the crisis currently engulfing the Royal Family.
But those closest to the negotiations are now fearful this could take a considerably longer time to complete than expected.
One source said: “There are major issues to deal with that have no way of being completely signed off in a matter of days.”
