Meghan Markle to use Archie and Lilibet as bargain tool for fame<\/p>\n
Meghan Markle is poised to return to the UK and she could bring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with her, a royal commentator claims.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Sussex hasn\u2019t set foot in Britain since Queen Elizabeth\u2019s funeral in September 2022, and the children\u2019s last visit was for the Platinum Jubilee earlier that year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, with Prince Harry\u2019s security arrangements under review, a green light could see the Sussex family back on British soil together.<\/p>\n
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told GB\u202fNews that having Archie and Lilibet present would act as a \u201cshield\u201d for Meghan amid hostile press coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer poll ratings are terrible, and the rift with the royal family will cause the press to be hostile,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bringing the children along, he added, could help soften public perception and humanize the Sussexes\u2019 return.<\/p>\n
Harry has repeatedly stressed that returning to the UK without proper security is \u201cimpossible,\u201d and the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) is currently reviewing the Duke\u2019s request.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sources insist the decision is far from final, dismissing earlier reports that it was already \u201cnailed on\u201d as misleading attempts to influence media speculation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Buckingham Palace aides confirmed they have no authority to intervene in Ravec\u2019s proceedings, which rely entirely on intelligence and security experts.<\/p>\n
If approved, the trip could coincide with the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, a cause Harry and Meghan have championed for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, even with a positive outcome, it remains unclear whether the visit will be a full family appearance or focused solely on Harry\u2019s legal obligations, including his upcoming High Court trial against the publisher of The Daily Mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle to use Archie and Lilibet as bargain tool for fame Meghan Markle is poised to return…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-377690","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
