While Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a> secured a recent win in his fight for U.K. security, one royal expert believes the outcome might not be an overall net positive for the royal\u2019s wife, Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis puts Meghan in a rather awkward position, since I really don\u2019t think she is eager to return to what she sees as a somewhat hostile environment,\u201d royal author Christopher Andersen<\/strong>, who wrote the Brothers and Wives<\/em><\/a>, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> on Monday, January 5.<\/p>\n

Mail on Sunday reported one day prior that Harry, 41, had officially won his ongoing fight<\/a> for government-funded security in the U.K. The decision came after the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) conducted a review of Harry\u2019s risk assessment last month. It appears the committee decided the Duke of Sussex is eligible for armed protection.<\/p>\n

Team Sussex has declined to comment on the Mail on Sunday<\/em> report.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPrince Harry is still fighting to restore security for him and his wife, Meghan Markle, five years after the U.K. government pulled it. Harry, 40, spent two days at London\u2019s Royal Courts of Justice for an appeal hearing regarding the decision to pull the couple\u2019s security in February 2020 when they decided to leave the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The years-long legal battle started after the Duke of Sussex and Meghan stepped down from their roles as senior working royals in 2020. Harry previously explained that the lack of protection had stopped him from returning to his home country with Meghan, 44, and their two kids<\/a>, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point,\u201d Harry told the BBC<\/a> in a May 2025 interview. \u201cI love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Harry\u2019s landmark win opens the door for them all to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Harry and Meghan do return to London with Archie and Lilibet, it will be so the children can begin to forge some sort of real relationship with their grandfather, the king,\u201d Andersen continued.<\/p>\n

While Harry has been estranged from his family for years, he and King Charles III<\/strong> started the process to mend their relationship<\/a> with a closed-door meeting in September 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles is a huge softy when it comes to his grandkids, so I\u2019m sure they\u2019d be welcomed with open arms,\u201d Andersen added. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean that Harry will ever be fully embraced by the royal family and allowed to return to some sort of semi-official role. That ship has sailed \u2014 and that goes double for Meghan.\u201d<\/p>\n
