Meghan Markle travels to Britain with children after last‑minute itinerary change

Meghan Markle, 44, has reversed an earlier decision and will travel to the United Kingdom this week with her children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5. The change comes after the palace cited security concerns that had initially prevented her participation in Prince Harry’s planned visit and a public appearance at the Invictus Games in Birmingham. While she will arrive in Europe, she is not scheduled for any official engagements.

Palace staff are reported to be frustrated by the repeated alterations to the Sussexes’ travel plans. King Charles III had previously offered accommodation for the children at Buckingham Palace, but Prince Harry declined, leading to the offer being withdrawn. The security debate continues to strain relations between the Sussexes and the royal household. The episode follows Prince Harry’s recent loss in a High Court libel case against Associated Newspapers, which adds further tension to the family’s public profile.
