According to reports, Prince Harry is keen to bring Meghan Markle and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet back to the UK for visits – but one major stumbling block stands in his way
Prince Harry is reportedly keen to bring his wife Meghan Markle and their two children to the UK for visits – but one ‘frightening’ hurdle is stopping him.
Reports at the weekend suggested Harry had contacted a group of former trusted advisors as well as old pals to create a “blueprint” outlining how he might one day begin moving in UK circles again.
But The Mirror understands this is “far from his mind” and any contact with former aides would be “purely for strategic and friendly advice”, rather than any plot to return to the fold. However, it is believed Harry would like to make more trips to his homeland as he is eager to visit old friends and family and work directly with the UK-based organisations he supports.

According to PEOPLE magazine, Harry is also keen to bring his family Meghan, Prince Archie, five, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet for visits too – but the one significant stumbling block is his security situation. His automatic right to police protection in the UK was lost when he and Meghan sensationally quit their royal roles over four years ago.
Harry has been embroiled in a legal battle against the Home Office to have this reinstated for himself and his family and is preparing an appeal after losing a previous court battle, with insiders saying he is focused on getting the security back.
The magazine also reports the issue has caused a deepening of his estrangement from his father King Charles, with a source telling the publication: “Harry is frightened and feels the only person who can do anything about it is his father.” But it points out a palace source has explained Harry’s security situation is not in the hands of the King.
Last week, Harry did manage to make an under-the-radar visit to the UK where he and estranged brother Prince William both attended a memorial for their uncle Lord Fellowes, the late husband of their aunt and Princess Diana’s older sister Jane, in Norfolk last week. Harry made a secret trip from the US to the UK for the event, reportedly staying with his uncle Earl Spencer, Diana’s younger brother, at the Spencer’s ancestral home of Althorp.

William and Harry have not spoken for months and currently have no contact, choosing to stay apart from each other even when in the same room last month for the service. Sources have revealed that Harry would not return to the royal fold unless he received an apology from William.
The Duke of Sussex is focused on “making a success of his life” in the United States and maintains he is happy with his decision on choosing to quit as a working royal, sources close to the Harry suggest. However, it remains that he would be open to taking up a temporary role within the family to “help out” if he was asked to do so by the King.
Harry’s friends say he is aware of his brother’s feelings on the matter after The Mirror previously revealed William suggested there was “zero chance” he would be welcomed back into the fold after penning his explosive memoir, Spare.
Sources close to Harry say given the Royal Family’s position this year, with the King and Princess of Wales both forced to take extended periods of leave from duties due to cancer treatment, the Duke remains open and willing to assist if he was called upon.
Harry’s friends say he is also determined to improve his relationship with his father, especially given his recent health woes. However, the Duke – who turns 40 next week – would still look for an apology from his warring brother if he were to represent the family in any capacity.
