Meghan Markle might not join Prince Harry on his upcoming UK trip. A source claimed that the Duke of Sussex, who reportedly wanted to fly his family to his homeland, has been reconsidering his decision. Allegedly, the change of plans has been more about the negative attention than the security issue. According to the report, people questioned the Sussexes’ intention to visit the UK. Meanwhile, Harry’s alleged decision has reportedly ruined Markle’s “big moment.”
Meghan Markle has walked into ‘another wave of criticism,’ claims source
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were said to visit the UK with their kids in July. Several reports suggested that Harry wanted his family to reunite with King Charles. This prompted people to question the Sussexes’ intentions, leading to criticism. Recently, a source told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice that the father of two has reportedly been reconsidering bringing his wife and kids to the UK.
However, his decision might affect Markle’s alleged plans of building royal connections and “reshaping” their public image. She seemed to have thought of his UK trip as her “big moment.” “She wanted to remind everyone she’s still royal and generate goodwill. Instead, she walked straight into another wave of criticism,” the insider claimed.
Furthermore, another informant told the outlet that reports of the Sussexes’ UK plans had become a “PR battle.” According to them, Markle drew negative attention at the wrong time amid her reported financial struggle. “People were questioning the motives before the family had even packed a suitcase,” they added.
Meanwhile, Harry would allegedly claim their “security situation” as the reason he couldn’t bring his family. For those unversed, he lost automatic taxpayer-funded police protection when he and Markle stepped down from their royal duties in 2020. The “Spare” author has been trying to fix the issue legally, but has been unsuccessful so far.
Moreover, a palace insider hinted that the “Suits” alum allegedly refused to join him on the trip after the backlash. “Meghan saw the reaction and decided she didn’t want to walk back into that storm. Harry still wants to go, but she’s made it clear she doesn’t,” they said.
