Prince Harry and Meghan Markle set for UK visit with children amid brand and financial scrutiny

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are scheduled to travel to the United Kingdom in July, bringing their children Archie and Lilibet for the first family visit in more than four years. The trip coincides with the one‑year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham and is expected to include charitable engagements.

At the same time, the couple’s lifestyle brand As Ever has been the subject of mixed reporting. An insider close to the duchess dismissed recent rumors that the brand is headed for bankruptcy, stating that “As Ever continues to grow as an independent business.” Other commentators have suggested the Sussexes may be under financial pressure, noting a slowdown in sales of jam and other products and speculation that the Montecito property could become untenable.

Harry and Meghan also appeared in the public debate on children’s online safety, supporting the UK government’s proposal to tighten social‑media access for users under 16 and urging tech companies to take greater responsibility. Their involvement has drawn both praise and criticism, with some accusing the pair of using the issue for publicity.
