Recently, Prince Harry surprised many by attending the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, in Norfolk. This event brought the two brothers, Harry and Prince William, together, albeit with reports indicating that they chose not to sit close to each other. This reunion is significant considering the strained relationship between the two princes.
Notably, Prince Harry made the trip to the U.K. alone, without his wife Meghan Markle by his side. This decision is in line with Meghan’s absence from England since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. Harry’s choice to travel without Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet stems from concerns about their safety in the U.K.
Security Concerns and Court Bids
After relinquishing their senior working royal family roles in 2020, Meghan and Harry lost their U.K. taxpayer-funded police protection. Despite Harry’s efforts to secure private security for his family while in the U.K., his court bids have not been successful. Harry’s candid remarks on the risks involved in lack of security underscore his reluctance to bring Meghan and their children to England.
According to a former employee of the couple’s Archewell Foundation, Meghan wishes for Harry to let go of his legal battles and find happiness in the present moment. She acknowledges the challenges he has faced and understands his reasons for holding on to these grievances. While Meghan has moved on from the royal family drama, her main priority is peace and contentment for her family.
Sources suggest that Meghan is thriving in California, where she feels a sense of freedom and authenticity. The open spaces and relaxed environment provide her with the opportunity to be her true self. In contrast, life as a working royal was arduous for Meghan, highlighting the contrast between her past and present experiences.
Prince Harry’s appearance at the funeral in Norfolk sheds light on his ongoing personal struggles and family dynamics. The absence of Meghan and the couple’s children underscores the security concerns that continue to impact their lives. Despite the challenges they face, Meghan’s focus on peace and Harry’s quest for security reflect their shared commitment to prioritizing their family’s well-being.
