Prince Harry will not be joined by Meghan and children on London trip
Yahoo News Canada • • world
Key Points:
- Prince Harry will visit the UK next week without his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, due to the lack of taxpayer-funded police security for the family.
- Meghan and the children may still join Harry later in the week when the visit moves to Birmingham for the Invictus Games events, but no final security arrangements have been confirmed.
- It remains unclear if King Charles will meet his grandchildren during this visit, as the initial plans for a family reunion in London have changed.
- The decision to exclude Meghan and the children from the London portion of the trip stems from security concerns raised by Harry's personal team and the absence of an up-to-date risk assessment from the Royal and VIP Executive Committee.
- Prince Harry's ongoing dispute with the UK government over security provisions dates back to his 2020 decision to step back as a senior royal and relocate to the US, with previous statements indicating he would not bring his family to the UK without improved security guarantees.
