However, a recent claim in the Sunday Times, made by friends of the Sussexes, indicated their willingness to change the situation and readily accept an invitation. This prompted one source to suggest that they are doubling down on their reconciliation strategy, stating, "It seems as if they're really doubling down on the reconciliation strategy. I can't imagine the Sussexes would decline an invitation to spend time with His Majesty."
As of now, there haven't been any invitations for the holidays. It appears that their financial resources and connections are dwindling, leading to a sense of desperation to reconnect with King Charles. The question arises: would Charles accept an invitation from Thomas Markle to spend time in Rosarito if one were extended? Additionally, there's curiosity about why they asked for extra security.
While Harry has returned to the UK several times, there have been no documented credible attacks against Meghan and Harry, except for occasional public disapproval and some banners highlighting their perceived hypocrisy.
It's worth noting that Harry requires one month's notice for accommodation and security arrangements to be made by Palace officials, and we're now two days away from November 25th, with time ticking away. Their request for extra security raises questions, especially considering their plan to showcase their children to the world during the holidays.
It's evident that the Sussexes have been unable to directly communicate with King Charles, possibly leading to their use of the media to convey their intentions. Sources close to the couple have suggested that they would need heightened protection to accept any invitation. Without a residence in Britain, they would rely on a formal invitation from King Charles or Buckingham Palace to stay in a residence with sufficient protection.
In March, King Charles requested that Harry and Meghan vacate Frogmore Cottage, their home in Windsor. They fully moved out in July. It's important to note that Harry no longer receives police protection while in the UK, following a decision by the Home Office to withdraw it.
Many members of the royal family believe that allowing them to feature in the Christmas Day walk to the church, for instance, would be a mistake, considering their previous actions. It seems that the Sussexes have a pressing need, perhaps financial, to attend the royal family Christmas, but as of now, they haven't received any invitations.
