According to insiders, Prince Harry finds himself at a crossroads with his upcoming return to the UK, primarily due to Meghan Markle's change of heart. Initially, it was hoped that Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, would accompany him, but concerns for their safety arose after their travel plans were publicized. This left Harry with little choice but to acknowledge the situation.
Harry is slated to return to the UK on May 8th for the Invictus Games 10th-anniversary service at St. Paul's Cathedral. While Meghan's attendance is still to be confirmed, Harry is listed as a guest for the event. The decision now rests on whether Harry should go alone or if the entire family should attend with enhanced security measures.
Reports suggest that Harry, in a heartfelt plea to Meghan, expressed his reluctance to undertake the journey solo, stating, "I don't want to do this alone." He had hoped for regular family visits to bridge the gap, but logistical challenges have made it difficult for now.
Initially, Meghan and Harry had planned to visit the UK, starting with a private celebration for Archie's fifth birthday on May 6th, followed by attending the Invictus ceremony. However, after learning the specifics of their itinerary, Meghan began to second-guess their decision, citing security concerns and her apprehension about returning to England, where she feels unwelcome.
Meanwhile, Meghan's venture into entrepreneurship with the launch of American Riviera Orchard remains under scrutiny. Despite minimal details on the brand's future, speculations abound regarding its potential ties to Meghan's Hollywood connections and a rumored culinary program on Netflix, part of the Sussexes' multi-million dollar deal with the streaming giant.
While Meghan's past success with her blog, The Tig, suggests promise for her new venture, challenges lie ahead, particularly regarding public perception and the need for influential endorsements to thrive.
