It has been claimed that Meghan Markle could make her first trip to the UK in four years this summer with Prince Harry – and now we want to know if she should join him on the trip
It had long been thought that Meghan Markle would never want to return to visit the UK. But it appears she could be planning a visit to Britain later this year alongside husband Prince Harry – but it all depends on one big call.
It is said that Meghan could come to the UK this summer with Harry, with the pair potentially attending an event to mark one year to go until the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. However, it is understood that Meghan will only make the trip if Harry’s automatic police protection when in the UK is restored – with a decision on this said to be imminent following a new review by the Home Office.

The issue of security has seemingly long been a stumbling block for Harry bringing Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK to potentially see their grandfather, the King.
It has been thought that Meghan would be less keen to visit, given her popularity in the UK. But now a source close to the Sussexes has dismissed the idea she will never come back to Britain – and revealed the reason why she would return.
They told the Sunday Times: “I think she would come back with him [and the children]. They love to do stuff as a family whenever they can, and when they do things as a couple philanthropically, they often do take the kids along privately. I can’t see a reason why he’d come over with the kids without her.”
It comes after former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes Harry could be quick to bring his children over to visit his home country. If you can’t see the poll below, click here.
She told the Mirror: “Harry says the security issue has been the biggest obstacle in any reconciliation with his family, and the primary reason that he has not brought his family to see their grandfather and experience their heritage.
“So, if that obstacle is removed, it seems reasonable to presume that he will bring Archie and Lilibet over here. And I think most people would be glad to see our old King reunited with the son he called his “darling boy“ and with the grandchildren he barely knows. But I’m less convinced that the public is ready for Meghan Part Two.
“She’s clearly happy at home in California, and I can’t see why she would want to come to the UK and face possible hostility. So, perhaps in future we will see more of Harry and possibly the children.”
If Harry does see a favourable outcome from his review, it has been speculated he could spend more and more time in the UK – and could potentially even help out the ever small band of working royals with some royal engagements on behalf of the King.
But Jennie isn’t so sure, and explained: “I don’t think that he will be taking on any royal duties here. The decision was made that you cannot be half in and half out. Personally, I think that was pretty harsh, however it is the way things are.
“And I think it would be a smack in the face to William, who has remained so completely loyal to his father and his duty, to allow Harry back as a working royal, even a part-time one.”
