The Sussexes' royal 'dilemma'

Harry and Meghan's rumoured visit to the UK this summer could cause a major headache for King Charles and Prince William

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip to the UK this summer could see King Charles reunited with his youngest grandchildren for the first time in four years, while also creating a major "dilemma" for the royal family.

The couple are rumoured to be visiting Harry's homeland in July to kick off the countdown to the Invictus Games in 2027, and royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams predicts that by bringing Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, they could pave the way for better royal relations.

"There is so much hostility over here towards the Sussexes, and if they're hoping to smooth the path with Charles, a reunion with the grandchildren would be an obvious way of doing that," Richard says. "I don't think the King will be involved in anything to do with the Games this summer, but I do think it's a real possibility that he will see Harry and his grandchildren, and that probably means seeing Meghan too."

King Charles last spent time with Archie and Lilibet when they flew over for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022, so a reunion is long overdue. And while Meghan hasn't set foot on UK soil since attending Queen Elizabeth's funeral in September that year, Richard believes she will definitely be involved in Harry's passion project.

He says, “It would be unthinkable for Meghan not to appear at Invictus because it would look like she was hiding away, and she will stand by Harry no matter what.”
