However, some sources suggest that Meghan's decision is influenced by her apprehension about British public opinion, especially given her recent criticisms of the Royal Family. It's known that the Sussexes have faced public protests during previous visits, which might have caused Meghan's unease.
Prince Harry is slated to appear at the annual Well Child charity event in London on September 7th before heading to Germany for the sixth edition of the Invictus Games. Despite his return to the UK, Meghan won't be accompanying him due to prior commitments with their children. Additionally, Harry is not expected to visit his estranged family, who will be commemorating the one-year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death the following day.
Tensions between the Sussexes and the Royal Family have been high since their departure from the monarchy in January 2020, followed by their airing of grievances in public. Their last joint appearance in Europe was at the late monarch's funeral on September 19, 2022.
Although Meghan won't be joining Harry in England, she is reportedly set to fly directly from California to Germany for the Invictus Games' opening ceremony. Royal expert and biographer Angela Levin suggests that Meghan will deliver a personal message of courage and resilience to injured veterans participating in the games.
Meghan and Prince Harry's relationship with the British public has been tumultuous, characterized by both support and criticism. Meghan's unconventional family history, strained relationships with her father and sister, and her tendency to break royal protocols and traditions have been sources of public debate and scrutiny.
