Prince Harry has expressed a desire to grow closer to the family following his father’s illness, King Charles III. This hope seems strengthened by the health problems of his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, revealed on March 22. However, according to some, this desire for reconciliation would run up against the hostility of his wife, Meghan Markle.
According to British sources, Harry had been considering taking advantage of the anniversary of the Invictus Games, which he founded, as an opportunity to finally return to the United Kingdom, his homeland. But according to those same sources, Meghan Markle, the mother of his children, would not approve of the trip. Among other reasons, she would cite security concerns. A quote from a royal expert in the Sun notes that if Meghan does not want to take part in the project under any circumstances, she could nevertheless have the final say in the decision.
The couple lives in Montecito in California, so it seems unlikely that Harry would make the trip with their children, Archie and Lilibet, without Meghan’s support. Harry is said to have told his wife of his apprehension about leaving alone, ideally preferring a family trip. Nevertheless, internal tensions make these hopes difficult to realize for now.
