Meghan and Children Will Not Join Prince Harry for London Visit

The decision follows a government refusal to extend taxpayer-funded police protection and leaves Harry to press ahead with Invictus engagements while security options are still being explored.

Overview

  • A spokesman confirmed on Saturday that Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will not travel to London with Prince Harry next week.
  • The change came after reports that a request for taxpayer-funded police protection for the family was declined and an independent Risk Management Board review remained outstanding.
  • Harry’s team says he is “exploring every available option” to bring his family safely to the UK and has not ruled out them joining some non-London events such as the Invictus Games ceremony in Birmingham.
  • The trip will go ahead focused on Invictus and charitable engagements and coincides with a pending court ruling in Harry’s long-running case against Associated Newspapers.
  • The dispute reflects a longer shift since 2020 to case-by-case security decisions for the Sussexes, a failed 2025 legal bid to restore automatic protection, and private threat assessments submitted by Harry’s security team that warned of multiple plots.
