Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won’t bring their children on their upcoming Australia trip<\/a> in a bid to build momentum for their much-anticipated return to the UK, according to a royal expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex<\/a> are expected to travel to Australia in mid-April for a number of “private, business and philanthropic engagements”. The couple reportedly decided against bringing their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, to avoid disrupting their school terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggested they might have another reason for keeping their children temporarily out of the spotlight. Mr Fitzwilliams said Harry<\/a> and Meghan could be “saving” Archie and Lilibet for an unconfirmed trip to the UK this summer, pending the renewal of the Duke’s automatic police protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Harry is expected to attend the promotional event in Birmingham, there has been no suggestion that either Meghan or the children will join him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Fitzwilliams told the Express<\/a>: “My feeling is that they are ‘saving’ their children to bring to the UK once Harry gets his automatic police protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I expect Meghan to accompany him in the summer, and I imagine they will bring the children in the hopes of blunting at least some of the criticism she would otherwise draw from the press and the public.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s not clear where they’re going to go from here, but assuming Harry gets security clearance, bringing the children to the UK makes sense. They’ll undoubtedly try to mitigate the criticism of Meghan by using Archie and Lili.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Home Office ordered a full threat assessment into his circumstances last year, with the ruling on whether the 24\/7 security will be restored yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
