Prince Harry\u2019s latest UK visit was reportedly overshadowed by security concerns, accommodation problems and ongoing tensions with the Royal Family, with sources claiming the situation left Meghan Markle deeply upset.<\/a><\/p>\n

Royals reporter Russell Myers told People that Harry\u2019s trip \u201cturned into a nightmare\u201d after security issues meant Meghan Markle<\/a>, 44, and their children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, returned to California earlier than they had intended.<\/a><\/p>\n

A source familiar with the Sussexes told the outlet that Meghan would have felt \u201chumiliated\u201d as she watched Harry and the royal institution clash over arrangements for the visiting family.<\/p>\n

Another source said the former Suits actress \u201cis very supportive\u201d of Harry but added there was \u201ca lot of sadness\u201d over how the trip unfolded.<\/p>\n

A separate insider claimed Meghan \u201calways lets [Harry] lead\u201d when it comes to handling his relationship with his family.<\/p>\n

Harry spent only one week in Britain, where he promoted next year\u2019s Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the Sussexes were denied taxpayer-funded security and an offer for the couple to stay at a royal residence was withdrawn, leaving Harry travelling alone for much of his visit.<\/p>\n

Meghan was also not expected to attend the Invictus Games event alongside Harry.<\/p>\n

What other setback did Harry face during his UK trip?<\/p>\n

However, she and their children later joined the Duke for a reunion with King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House, Page Six reported.<\/p>\n

Charles had not seen Archie and Lilibet, who live in California with Harry and Meghan, since they attended Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.<\/p>\n

A source told People: \u201cIt is better that people don\u2019t know anything about these meetings. They should be allowed to rekindle those family ties.\u201d<\/p>\n

Myers said the outcome of Harry\u2019s visit \u201cwas further evidence of the fractiousness of Harry\u2019s relationship with the institution\u201d.<\/p>\n

A source also claimed that if the security situation had been \u201cresolved, there would be so much more certainty every time\u201d Harry visits the UK.<\/p>\n

Alongside the security and accommodation disputes, Harry discovered he had lost his legal battle against a British newspaper publisher while he was in the UK.<\/p>\n

The Duke had sued Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, over alleged privacy breaches.<\/p>\n

Royal author Simon Vigar told People: \u201cThe court case was a massive defeat for Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry later described the ruling as \u201ca complete and obvious whitewash\u201d in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Did Harry meet Prince William during his visit?<\/p>\n

Despite meeting his father, Harry did not meet his estranged brother Prince William<\/a> during the trip.<\/p>\n

According to Page Six, an insider described the state of the brothers\u2019 relationship by saying: \u201cIt\u2019s so broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another source claimed there had been \u201cno movement, especially on William\u2019s side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told the publication that William understood Charles\u2019 decision to meet Harry \u201ceven if he wouldn\u2019t have done it himself\u201d.<\/p>\n

Schofield added that William could appreciate \u201cthat a father living with cancer wants to see his son and grandchildren\u201d, while still believing that Harry \u201chas not earned his way back into the family\u2019s confidence\u201d.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020, after which they criticised aspects of their royal life in their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and their 2022 Netflix<\/a> documentary series, Harry & Meghan.<\/p>\n

The couple has no plans to return to the Royal Family as working members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry\u2019s latest UK visit was reportedly overshadowed by security concerns, accommodation problems and ongoing tensions with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,4866,111,139,69,3578,3164,91559,260914],"class_list":["post-528160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-meghan-markle","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-prince-harry","tag-royal-family","tag-royal-family-tensions","tag-uk-visit-security-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
