Prince Harry cannot bring his children Archie and Lilibet to the United Kingdom without the approval of his wife Meghan Markle, according to the royal expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex withdrew from royal life in 2020 and are now settled in Montecito, California, and it seems unlikely that they will return to their former life. Additionally, it is believed that Meghan is not very enthusiastic about visiting the UK, unlike her husband Harry, who has frequently traveled since they stepped back from royal duties four years ago.

Richard Fitzwilliams, the royal commentator, has said that it is impossible for a family reunion to happen that includes the youngest members of the Sussex family. Because the Duke cannot bring them to the UK without the company of his wife. He explained: It is up to Meghan. Harry wants to show that he is a committed family man and puts them above everything else. If Meghan doesn’t want to come, he would never be forced. It would be extremely impossible for Harry to come with the children without Meghan.

Comments continued after it was revealed that Prince Harry will visit the UK next month to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in May and Meghan is likely not to accompany him. Meghan has returned to the UK only for rare occasions since the couple withdrew from their royal duties in 2020, such as the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. However, she did not attend the coronation of King Charles III last year, which Harry attended alone.

The Duchess’s hesitation to visit the UK may be related to security concerns. This comes after Prince Harry’s legal battle with the Home Office and RAVEC, following the removal of security after stepping back from royal duties. He expressed concern for his own, his wife’s, and their two children’s security. He argued that state security should be provided due to the threats and risks they face.
