A decision on whether Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will accompany her husband Prince Harry on his upcoming trip to the United Kingdom with their children remains undecided and is expected to be made at the last minute. Prince Harry, 41, plans to return to the UK next week to promote the Invictus Games, an international sporting event he founded for wounded veterans.
Sources familiar with the situation indicated that Prince Harry’s security team is still exploring options regarding the possibility of Meghan, 44, and their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, joining him on the trip. This uncertainty follows Prince Harry’s unsuccessful request for additional taxpayer-funded security during his stay.
Officials at Buckingham Palace reportedly expressed frustration over the ongoing speculation surrounding the family’s travel plans. Palace insiders described the situation as a “will they, won’t they” scenario and noted a sense of weariness regarding the unpredictability surrounding Meghan’s potential return to the UK.
The visit marks one of Prince Harry’s few public engagements in the UK since the couple stepped back from their roles as senior members of the royal family and relocated to the United States. The question of security arrangements for the couple and their children continues to be a sensitive topic for both British authorities and the palace.
As of now, no formal announcement has been made regarding Meghan and the children’s presence on the trip, leaving the situation unresolved ahead of Prince Harry’s scheduled public appearances.
