Meghan Markle finds herself at a pivotal moment as she grapples with deep concerns for the safety and well-being of her children, Archie and Lilibet. Reports suggest that Meghan is carefully considering her options regarding bringing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK.
Meghan Markle's worries about bringing her children back to Britain have led her to contemplate backing out of their planned trip altogether. Initially, Meghan and Prince Harry were expected to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games at St. Paul's Cathedral on May 8th. There were even speculations that they might bring their children to reunite with their extended family, especially since King Charles and Princess Kate have made their battle with cancer public. Prince Harry, in particular, is said to be more eager than ever to reconcile with the Royal Family.
However, Meghan's confidence in spending more time in the UK has waned, especially after the release of the controversial service history. This has raised doubts in her mind about the safety of her children. According to a source, Megan has reached a point where she no longer feels comfortable bringing her children to the UK. Harry has reportedly pleaded with her to reconsider her decision, expressing his reluctance to bear the burden alone. The source also revealed that Harry wishes for the whole family to make regular visits to the UK and foster better relationships. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing complexities behind the scenes, this seems challenging at the moment.
Both Meghan and Harry had plans to come to the UK, but the recent announcement of the exact time and date of their appearance made Meghan reconsider. An insider shared with express.co.uk that if Archie and Lilibet return to the UK, it will solely depend on Meghan's decision to accompany them. The children's attendance remains uncertain, as they will only visit if Meghan chooses to attend. Harry hopes that they will join him, as it would allow them to participate in the service and enable everyone to meet his family.
Lilibet has only visited the UK once since her birth, which was during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee last May. Megan opted not to travel to London to attend the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla, reportedly because it coincided with Archie's fourth birthday. This year, the family is allegedly planning a birthday celebration for Archie on May 6th before heading to the UK on May 7th for the service. Their accommodations will be kept a secret.
Undoubtedly, King Charles eagerly anticipates being reunited with his grandchildren. Royal commentator Michael Cole expressed that the King is deeply hurt by the fact that he doesn't get to see his grandchildren in California. It's only natural for him to long for such moments, as any father would. The King deeply loves his children, grandchildren, and the children of his close ones.
