Meghan Markle is set to visit the UK this week with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, but she will not make any public appearances, according to reports. The Duchess of Sussex is expected to join her husband, Prince Harry, but her entire visit will be kept private.
Security Concerns Behind Private Visit
The decision to avoid public engagements stems from the family not being granted taxpayer-funded armed police protection. Initially, Meghan and the children did not fly with Harry on Monday as planned due to this issue. This also meant Meghan could not attend Harry's Invictus Games one-year countdown event as she had hoped.
However, the family has now arranged an enhanced private security package, allowing them to travel. Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have not visited the UK since 2022.
Family Time and Possible Royal Reunion
While in the UK, the family is expected to enjoy private time, including a visit to Princess Diana's resting place. It remains unclear whether they will reunite with King Charles.
Meghan has not been seen in the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022. Prince Harry has consistently argued that the UK is too unsafe for his family without armed police protection, which he lost in 2020.
