It has long been thought that Meghan Markle would not want to return to the UK on a visit – but a source has dismissed this idea explaining why she would want to come back
Meghan Markle could be set to make a bombshell return to the UK – and an insider has revealed the exact reason why. It has been claimed that the Duchess of Sussex could travel to Britain as early as this summer, along with husband Prince Harry, for an event tied to his Invictus Games – but it hinges on one major decision.
It is said that Meghan will only make the trip if Harry’s automatic police protection when in the UK is restored – with a decision on this said to be imminent following a new review by the Home Office. The issue of security has seemingly long been a stumbling block for Harry bringing Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK to potentially see their grandfather, the King.

Harry himself has said he would love to bring his children to his homeland so they can learn about their heritage, but currently feels it’s too dangerous. The Duke is set to return to the UK in July for a series of engagements to mark one year until the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. If his automatic police protection is restored, many have speculated he could bring his children to the UK at the same time.
But it has been thought that Meghan would be less keen given her popularity in the UK. But now a source close to the Sussexes has dismissed the idea she will never come back to Britain – and revealed the reason why she would return.
They told the Sunday Times: “I think she would come back with him [and the children]. They love to do stuff as a family whenever they can, and when they do things as a couple philanthropically, they often do take the kids along privately. I can’t see a reason why he’d come over with the kids without her.”
They added: “There will be all kinds of considerations, like the children’s school and other commitments. But if the security is sorted, then yes, of course that would open up the door to come back more with his family and bring the family over more. He’s been clear on that.
“His desire is to show his kids where he grew up and the UK. If security is sorted, he’ll want to sit down and think about what does that look like? How should we show up? We’d all hope for and love that to happen.”
It comes as Harry is reportedly set to extend a major ‘olive branch’ to his estranged father King Charles on another UK trip. The Duke is said to be offering him a special role at the Invictus Games next year.
It means the father and son could appear on stage together at the opening ceremony at the NEC in Birmingham next June, marking a significant thawing in their relationship after years of near-silence.
The move would be a “dream” for the 41-year-old were it to happen, it is claimed, after he said last year that he “would love reconciliation” with his family.
Harry is set to fly back to London from California for the opening of his High Court case against Associated Newspapers later this month, with the case scheduled to open on January 19 – but is not expected to meet his father while staying in Britain.
The pair reunited for the first time in 19 months on his last visit in September, and had afternoon tea at Clarence House, with the duke describing his father as ‘great’.
But the monarch is expected to be in Scotland for his traditional post-Christmas stay when the trial is due to start , although the date and timetable have yet to be finalised.
The Telegraph reported that royal sources acknowledged the King did not wish to be linked to any court proceedings, so will give his son a wide berth on this occasion.
