Meghan Markle is reportedly considering a return to the UK for the first time in four years, though insiders say she will do so only if several conditions are met. Sources indicate the 44-year-old may accompany Prince Harry to Birmingham this July for the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games 2027, but those close to the situation stress that her attendance remains uncertain.
Meghan Markle has a list of demands to be met to consider UK return, per source
Insiders claim Markle has outlined precise requirements for accommodations during the potential visit. One source alleges she wants “four floors of the Hyatt completely shut down just for her,” along with heightened on-site security. The same source claims, “Staff aren’t allowed to look at her. She’s in total control.” Another insider adds that Markle expects formal address protocols to be followed at all times. “Anyone who has any interaction with her has to call her ‘Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.’ No exceptions.”
Sources say Markle requested round-the-clock drivers, multiple luxury vehicles, and a police escort from the airport to her hotel. Insiders also claim she wants heightened security at public appearances, including restricted access points and added protection at the Invictus Games venue. “This isn’t just protection,” one source said. “She’s asking for a fortress. Bulletproof glass at the Games, armed security everywhere she goes.”
Markle also intends to bring her own inner circle to the UK, including a personal chef, assistant, hair and makeup team, and PR staff. Sources say multiple rooms would be reserved solely for her communications team to manage appearances and media logistics.
Ultimately, insiders stress that everything hinges on the outcome of a review into Harry’s UK security arrangements. “She will not step foot in Britain without full protection —police escorts, secured venues, no risks—period,” a source claims. If the visit moves forward, it would mark Markle’s first return to the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
