Meghan declared she would never return to the UK for safety reasons, stating, “Kate always seeks to harm me; she’s too hypocritical.”

Meghan Markle’s return to the UK is highly unlikely, claims a royal expert. While Prince Harry is scheduled to visit London in the coming months, Markle accompanying him with their children is not happening anytime soon. Recent reports suggested that Prince William and Princess Kate have been working to mend the royal rift and extended an invitation to the estranged family member, but Meghan declined the request.

Meghan Markle is avoiding 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 quick trip to the UK. Earlier, Harry also expressed his desire to visit his ailing father, King Charles, who has been diagnosed with cancer. While many speculated that Meghan would accompany him to the palace, royal commentator Esther Krakue, in conversation with GB News, suggested that might not be the case.

“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 the safety

Things haven’t been going so well for the royals lately. Court cases, health issues, and the general state of affairs have been off the rails. Meghan is thought 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 between her and 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] and I also think this is going to be a time where distance between the Sussexes and the Royal Family will be calcified because 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 residing in the US since they left the UK in early 2020 after announcing their decision to leave the royal family. Earlier this year, Harry lost a legal battle against the UK Home Office and RAVEC at the High Court in the United Kingdom. The Duke wanted to overturn a decision that reduced his security classification after he was no longer a “working royal” due to fears for his own safety and the safety of his wife, Meghan Markle, and two children Archie and Lilibet.

PRINCE HARRY & MEGHAN MARKLE ‘HAS MADE HIS BED’ AS ‘DRAMA’ SPARKS KING CHARLES’ DECISION

Prince Harry recently travelled to London but did not meet his father King Charles during his brief transatlantic trip.

Prince Harry has “made his bed” with the decisions and statements he has made in recent years, a source has suggested.

The Duke of Sussex recently travelled to England to attend a series of events in London. While he was only a couple of miles away from his father King Charles, Harry did not have a face-to-face meeting with the monarch.

A spokesman for the US-based royal said the King’s “full programme” during Harry’s trip prevented father and son from seeing each other.

Despite the missed opportunity, the Duke of Sussex is reportedly determined to rebuild the relationship with his father in the wake of a string of damaging statements, allegations and attacks made by both Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle following their exit from the working Royal Family.

The spokesman’s statement added the duke “hopes to see [the King] soon]”.

On the other hand, King Charles remains fond of his second son but wants to “have peace”, a source has claimed.

They told the Mirror: “Harry’s made his bed. I’m an advocate for protecting your peace, and if this young man is bringing the drama, then good on King Charles for giving him the space he needs to grow.

“King Charles just wants to have his peace in his twilight years. He doesn’t want to argue.

The duke travelled to London this month to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, the international multi-sports tournament for wounded and injured service men and women and veterans he launched in 2014.

Prince Harry was last in the UK in February, a whirlwind trip he carried out to visit his father only days after Buckingham Palace had announced the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer.

Despite undergoing cancer treatment, the King never stopped carrying out his constitutional duties.

Earlier this month, he resumed public-facing engagements after receiving the go-ahead from his medical team.

In June, the monarch is planning to travel to France to mark in person the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. He will be accompanied by Prince William and Queen Camilla.

PRINCESSES BEATRICE AND EUGENIE ‘LOSE CHANCE OF WORKING ROYAL ROLE THANKS TO HARRY AND MEGHAN’

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will never have a chance of a bigger role within the Royal Family because of their continued support of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a royal correspondent claims.

Prince Andrew’s daughters joined forces with their cousin, Prince William, as they attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. Around 8,000 guests were invited to celebrate the work of volunteers, military personnel and members of the public – and senior royals spoke to the attendees despite soggy weather conditions.

Royal aides said William personally invited the other “young members” of the Royal Family to accompany him for the day, including Beatrice and Eugenie, Zara and Mike Tindall and Peter Phillips. King Charles and Queen Camilla, who hosted the first two garden parties this year, including one last week to celebrate the creative industries, did not attend Tuesday’s event.

The Daily Mail’s royal correspondent Rebecca English wrote in her column that William’s relatives were proud to support him at the event and in particular, Beatrice and Eugenie’s attendance showed the Prince of Wales’ “easy relationship” with his cousins. Ms English wrote: “It’s a warmth that goes all the way back to fun family summers at Balmoral, Christmases at Sandringham – and now finds expression in the very modern medium of shared family WhatsApp groups.”

Eugenie and Beatrice, who are occasionally seen at summer events and at Palace receptions, chatter to guests and appeared happy to participate in the event, Ms English added. For the garden party, Eugenie wore a white satin dress and 50s style headwear studded with flowers, while her sister Beatrice donned a £750 crimson Beulah dress and checked headband.

According to the royal correspondent, the event has raised questions about the future shape of the Royal Family and the “much-needed vitality” brought by the younger generation. Ms English argued that Beatrice and Eugenie have a possibility to take on a bigger role within the family, which is something their father Andrew wished for his daughters in the past.

Apart from their royal and charity commitments, Beatrice works for US-based tech company Afiniti while Eugenie is a director at art gallery Hauser & Wirth.

The royal correspondent said the two sisters, as well as Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, are unlikely to be asked to support the working royals on a more permanent basis even if they are “badly needed” as there is “deep concern” at Buckingham Palace that “changing direction in this way would play into Harry and Meghan’s hands.” Ms English wrote: “The Sussexes had been told very firmly by the late Queen Elizabeth that their preferred option of being ‘half-in, half-out’ royals while pursuing lucrative commercial careers was simply unacceptable.

“This ruling was partly down to the Queen’s personal sense of service. But it also owed something to her quiet belief that Harry and Meghan’s allegiance to the almighty Dollar might supersede anything they promised to Queen and Country.” But Ms English said that since Harry and Meghan were not allowed to continue working as royals while seeking commercial deals elsewhere, this means that there can be “no relaxation of the rules” for any younger royals.

She added: “It is full time or nothing. The occasional garden party aside, more substantial roles for William’s cousins are out of the question – for now, at least.”
