Prince Harry could return to UK without Meghan Markle for heartbreaking reason

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have not brought Prince Archie or his sister Princess Lilibet to the UK for nearly two years.

Prince Archie is said to be “desperate” to join his father Prince Harry on a trip to the UK because he wants to see his grandad King Charles, however neither of his parents are keen to encourage this, according to a source.

Meghan Markle and Harry moved away from the Royal Family in 2020 after stepping down as working members of the Firm, eventually moving to Montecito and welcoming their daughter Princess Lilibet in 2021.

But their are fears that as their children grow older they will become more curious about their extended British family as the Sussexes have limited contact with the royals. One royal expert has claimed that even if the Duke of Sussex does return to the UK to visit his father with his children – that it is unlikely that the Duchess will join them.

Archie and Lilibet have not been to the UK since June 2022 when they travelled back for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, although King Charles continues to send gifts to his grandchildren for their birthdays and Christmas.

Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror: “”Archie loves the idea that his grandad lives in a castle and Meghan was worried that a magnificent shepherd’s hut or similar extravagant present will only increase Archie’s growing interest in his royal connections.

“She doesn’t want Britain to become a longed-for fantasy for her son so she had been pushing Harry to insist that his father gets Archie a simple present.”

Mr Quinn also claims that the King is equally keen to indulge his grandchildren, partly because “wants to make up for what he sees as his neglect of his own sons in their youth”.

He added of five-year-old Archie: “He is apparently desperate to come to the UK with his father, but Meghan and Harry don’t want to encourage this.”

Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths explained that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are unlikely to want to bring their children over, even if the King does invite them to Balmoral for the summer.

She told TalkTV: “Even if Harry comes, I can’t imagine a world in which Meghan comes over with the kids, it’s really sad.

“[Meghan] was never really very enamoured with the rural royal life and the sort of cold two bar radiators and the boot rooms.

“I mean can you imagine Meghan stalking in the Highlands all summer? I can’t really to be honest.”

An insider admitted to Page Six: “I can see Charles desperately wanting to see the children, and extending this olive branch to Meghan and Harry. He may decide that life is just too short.

“Balmoral is truly the perfect, restful place for a reunion. If he does issue an invite, then Harry and Meghan should surely agree to the visit.”
