Meghan Markle and Children Will Join Prince Harry in England But Make No Public Appearances
After days of uncertainty, Prince Harry‘s wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will reportedly travel to Britain this week.
According to a report from The Telegraph published on Thursday, July 9, Meghan, 44, along with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, will join Harry, 41, in the U.K. However, they will not be making any public appearances.
The outlet also reported that while Meghan was initially scheduled to appear beside Harry at the Invictus Games on Friday, July 10, she will no longer attend the event. The former Suits star previously pulled out of an appearance with her husband at the Royal Hospital Chelsea on Wednesday, July 8, after she and Harry were denied taxpayer funded police protection.
Harry and Meghan’s rocky relationship with the royal family has been in the spotlight once again after a mixup with the Duke of Sussex’s accommodations. There are conflicting reports regarding what happened with Harry’s invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace.
The prince’s rep told Page Six that the palace had the invitation “withdrawn at the last moment” after he had “formally” accepted it.
However, according to the BBC, Harry’s team didn’t confirm whether he would accept the offer to stay at Buckingham Palace and formally declined the invitation on Saturday. The palace later claimed that Harry’s reps reversed course and accepted the offer that same day, but by then it was too late to finalize the arrangements.
Harry will be in Britain until July 11.
