Security Concerns About Children’s Safety Mounts Ahead of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s UK Visit

Published 04/08/2024, 10:28 PM EDT

The current state of affairs in Britain sees challenges mounting as both the King and Kate Middleton grapple with declining health. As Prince Harry finds himself increasingly drawn back home in light of these difficult circumstances, it, in turn, triggers heightened apprehension for Meghan Markle and their family because of the long-standing issue of security concerns as they prepare for a family visit to the UK. 

Compounded by the fallout from the Prince's unsuccessful court battle over security arrangements, his ongoing need for assistance within the royal household, and Markle’s increasing uneasiness about safety protocols, the Duke has found himself in a bind.

As word spread about the Sussex couple's upcoming visit to the UK amid escalating tensions, concerns arose about the potential impact of security arrangements on their plans. The prospect of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry requiring private protection added another layer of complexity to already strained relationships, raising fears of further complications. At present, worries are manifesting into reality, with insights shared by an insider to OK! indicating that Markle is contemplating a revision of her plans because of worries about her children's safety.

The source further added that although the Duke is not all happy about the possible change in plans as he wishes to be “supported by his wife”. The fact that she “just doesn’t feel safe” has him contemplating the decision. The source also added that the Prince had been nudging his wife to reconsider since he is reluctant to “do this alone”. Hence, for now, the burning question remains- Will they successfully address these issues with increased security, or will the Duke find himself making another solo journey home?

Like the security arrangements add a layer of shadow over the confirmed status of Meghan Markle and her children’s arrival to the UK with the Duke despite his own desire for the kids to rekindle with their cousins and be present for his family, Markle’s unconfirmed attendance for Invictus Games’ anniversary furthers the fear as well.

With the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, scheduled for May 8, Prince Harry is supposed to touchdown in London to deliver a speech at St. Paul’s Cathedral as per Daily Express. However, sources close to the Prince and the Duchess previously revealed that the confirmation for Meghan Markle’s attendance was yet to come as her name was “penciled as a TBC”.

Yet, as per the source’s latest disclosure to OK!, their plans included attending the “Anniversary Service” followed by a stay for another few days so that “the children could meet with the members of Harry’s family”. Additionally, with the ailing health of two of his family members, the sources have further revealed how the Prince has been stuck in his desire to stand with his family while supporting his wife. Hence, despite Prince Harry’s desire to find the “right balance” at the moment, Markle’s attendance for the anniversary and her return to the UK, both seem diabolical.
