The Duke of Sussex was confronted with the stark reality that he would be returning home by alone once more when he arrived in London over the weekend. The fact that Prince Harry, who is 40 years old, had just spent a week in New York City without Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and their two children sparked additional suspicion in the media in the United Kingdom that the couple's marriage, which has been going on for six years, is not going well.
In addition, Prince Harry's trip back to the United Kingdom, where his father, King Charles, is receiving treatment for cancer, in order to participate in a charity event served as a wake-up call regarding the way his life has become increasingly chaotic.
Prince Harry insisted on going by himself, despite the fact that it would have been the ideal opportunity to bring Prince Archie, who is five years old, and Princess Lilibet, who is three years old, to spend time with their grandfather.
The problem is largely the result of Prince Harry's own actions, considering the fact that he has been engaged in a tenacious legal battle with the government of the United Kingdom regarding the removal of his royal protection detail after he and Meghan stopped living as working royals in the year 2020. Due to the absence of formal police protection, Prince Harry asserted that his own country is not a secure environment for his wife and children, BBC reported.
Over the past few weeks, there have been rumors circulating that Prince Harry is eager to relocate back to the United Kingdom in order to provide assistance to the Crown, which is currently experiencing a shortage of workers, as per New Idea Magazine. The fuss that he has made over the children's safety on British soil, however, has led some insiders to assert that it will not be possible.
"He has, in effect, trapped himself in America until the kids are legal adults," one longtime royal insider claimed. "You can't see Meghan agreeing to him taking the kids to the UK after everything he's said about their apparent lack of safety."
”The only way he can bring his kids to the UK, given Lilibet and Archie are both American citizens, is with his wife's permission," another source added.
It has been said by those with knowledge of the situation that Prince Harry may face "one hell of a battle on his hands" in the event that he parted ways with Meghan, who is 43 years old. A judge in the United States is very likely to order that the children remain in the United States with their mother, who was born in the United States.
It has been reported to New Idea that Prince Harry is hoping to meet with King Charles, who is 75 years old, while he is in London this week, In Touch Weekly reported. This would be a last-ditch effort to get King Charles involved in his fight for royal protection. Perhaps, Prince Harry is aware that he is in a difficult situation.
"Harry will be seeking an audience with the King,” the undisclosed informant revealed. "He's worried about his health and misses him, but Harry's ultimate goal is to get his security detail back. This will then give Meghan no objections to bringing Archie and Lili to London some day."
Business Times has reached out to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for comments.
