Meghan Markle stands her ground and refuses to return to the UK as Charles III and Kate battle cancer – World

Prince Harry will return alone to the United Kingdom next week, to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games, the competition that the Duke of Sussex created for injured soldiers.

According to expert on the royal house Chris Ship, cited by ‘Mirror’, “Meghan will not be joining Harry for the Invictus anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. But the Duchess of Sussex will join the Duke for an Invictus-inspired visit to Nigeria shortly after Harry leaves the United Kingdom”.

The religious ceremony honoring the Invictus will take place on May 8th and will feature the actor Damian Lewis. There had been speculation for several months about the presence of Meghan, who has rarely returned to the United Kingdom since deciding to leave her duties in the royal household in 2020. Now it is known that the duchess is available for a trip to Nigeria but not for your old home. In the last four years, Meghan has only been in the United Kingdom for Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee and for a solidarity event with Harry, which coincided with the death of the former monarch – which is why Meghan remained in the United Kingdom for several days.

Meghan’s decision not to join her husband at the Invictus tribute ceremony comes at a time when it was revealed that Harry wants his children to visit the UK more regularly. The statements of the youngest son King Charles III were in court, during the process in which the Duke of Sussex appealed to the government to restore his security in the country, after having lost this privilege in 2020.

“The UK is central to my children’s heritage and a place where I want them to feel at home, as much as where they currently live, in the United States. This cannot happen if it is not possible to keep them safe when they are on British soil. I cannot put my wife in danger in this way and, given my life experiences, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in danger as well,” she said through her lawyers.

The moment for the British royal family is also dramatic, with cancer diagnoses of King Charles III and Kate Middleton. Both have been undergoing treatment for the disease since the beginning of the year.
