Prince Harry is demanding guarantees about how Meghan Markle will be received if she joins him in the UK later this year, according to reprts.
The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to return to Britain for the Invictus Games, though it remains unclear whether his wife will travel with him. According to one royal insider, Harry is pushing for assurances that family members will behave in a “polite” manner following years of fractured relationships between the couple and the rest of the royal family.
“Harry says he has no choice, based on how badly things have gone in the past,” the source told Radaronline.com
The Duchess of Sussex has joined her husband in the UK just twice since they stepped back from their royal responsibilities six years ago, in a departure known as “Megxit.”
Meghan’s sole visits to England since 2020 occurred during two significant royal occasions: a short attendance at the National Service of Thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee at St Paul’s Cathedral in June 2022, and the late monarch’s funeral in September that year, reports the Express.
Following their departure from royal life, the couple have consistently generated headlines with their candid observations about the family and palace operations.
Meghan triggered backlash during an interview with Oprah, where she faced accusations of mocking customs and traditions in her interactions with Harry’s grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. Harry took aim at multiple members of the royal family in his memoir Spare, notably his brother Prince William and his stepmother Queen Camilla.
Sources suggest his alleged stipulations have sparked frustration within the family, adding to years of tension between both sides.
The insider revealed, “The last thing he wants is Meghan walking into a situation where she feels judged, and he says all he’s asking is that she’s treated with basic respect and not cast as the bad guy before anything’s even happened.”
The source further explained that the Duke of Sussex is seeking “reassurance” from his relatives that “everyone will keep things polite and give her a fair chance.”
“A large number of senior royals are outraged that Harry’s had the audacity to make all these demands ahead of his trip,” the insider went on. “The fact that, once again, it all centres around Meghan – and presumably ensuring she’s treated with kid gloves.”
