A source has accused Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of setting a 'trap' for King Charles by bringing their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK during an upcoming visit. The couple was offered royal accommodation, sparking speculation of a reunion, but the source claims the Sussexes have an ulterior motive.
Source Claims Ulterior Motive
Speaking to the Mail, the source stated: 'I don't think this will be a reunion. It's more of a trap. It's a challenge. They are saying: Try and ignore us when we are here with the kids. If they don't meet up [with Harry and Meghan], then they can say: We came to you and we were ignored.'
The source also alleged that Harry and Meghan are using their children to force the Palace's hand regarding security, adding: 'This is a huge new low as a tactic – and it is going to backfire.'
Security Concerns and Legal Battle
Prince Harry has been engaged in a protracted legal battle with the Home Office over security arrangements for his family when in the UK. His level of protection changed after he stepped down as a working royal in 2020. The Duke previously cited security concerns as a reason for not bringing his children to the UK, but those concerns appear to have been allayed.
Sources have emphasized that all security matters are decided by the Home Office, and the King does not play a role in the process nor has he made any private undertakings.
