Prince Harry is currently in the UK for events related to the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games, an event he launched in 2014. Initial reports suggested that Meghan and the children would not be joining him due to unresolved security concerns, as the couple lost their publicly funded security when they ceased to be working royals. Harry has previously stated that he feels unable to bring his family to the UK safely without appropriate police protection.
However, recent reports indicate that Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet are now expected to travel to the UK later this week after an enhanced private security package was arranged. While Meghan is expected to be in the UK, she is not anticipated to attend any public engagements.
The family’s last visit to the UK with their children was in June 2022 for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. There is speculation that the current visit might include a stop at Althorp House, Princess Diana’s childhood home and final resting place, which would be particularly significant following what would have been Diana’s 65th birthday on July 1. King Charles has reportedly offered the family a place to stay on a royal estate during their trip, and the visit could provide an opportunity for him to see his grandchildren, whom he reportedly has not seen since 2022.
The couple’s public image and their relationship with the media have been subjects of ongoing discussion since their move to North America in 2020. They have reportedly expanded their PR team in an effort to reevaluate their public image strategy.
