Royal expert claims Meghan Markle is unlikely to return to the UK with Prince Harry in the near future, despite an invitation from Prince William and Princess Kate.
Meghan Markle’s return to the UK appears highly improbable, according to a royal expert. While Prince Harry is scheduled to visit London in the coming months, it is unlikely that Markle will join him with their children. Recent reports indicate that Prince William and Princess Kate have been working to mend the royal rift and extended an invitation to Meghan, but she has declined.
Meghan Markle Avoids a Trip to the UK
As confirmed by Harry himself, and considering his plans to attend the Invictus Games event in May, the Duke of Sussex will make a brief trip to the UK. Harry has also expressed his desire to visit his ailing father, King Charles, who has been diagnosed with cancer. Although many speculated that Meghan would accompany him, royal commentator Esther Krakue, speaking with GB News, suggested otherwise.
“I actually think she’s avoiding the UK because she’s not interested in the whole drama and, kind of, being injected—is she going to talk to [Princess] Kate, and all of that,” Esther Krakue told the outlet.
Meghan Markle ‘Concerned’ About Safety
The royals have been facing numerous challenges recently, including court cases, health issues, and general turmoil. Meghan is believed to be keeping a low profile due to security concerns after Harry lost a high court case against the Home Office, as well as a desire to avoid further conflict with Princess Kate.
“I personally think she’s not going to come because, obviously, Harry has lost his case with the Home Office, and he said he doesn’t feel safe bringing his family over [to the UK]. I also think this is going to be a time where the distance between the Sussexes and the Royal Family will be solidified. The focus will obviously be on the Princess of Wales and the King recovering—they don’t need the whole Netflix drama,” claims Krakue.
Prince Harry’s Court Battle
Harry and Meghan have been living in the US since they left the UK in early 2020 after announcing their decision to step back from royal duties. Earlier this year, Harry lost a legal battle against the UK Home Office and RAVEC at the High Court. The Duke sought to overturn a decision that reduced his security classification after he ceased to be a “working royal,” citing fears for his own safety and that of his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
