Reason Meghan Markle won't return to UK with Prince Harry next week
Meghan Markle will not be joining her husband Prince Harry on his upcoming visit to the UK, it has been claimed. The Duke of Sussex is set to return to the UK next week for an Invictus Games service at St Paul's Cathedral on May 8.
The event will mark the 10th anniversary of the games, which were founded by Harry back in 2014. However, it appears that he will be marking this special occasion without his wife.
Royal insiders have claimed that Meghan is "wary" of getting booed is she does return to the UK, as happened to the couple when they attended the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.
Speaking to on Palace Condfidential, The Daily Mail's Richard Eden said: "She does not want to return to Britain in a hurry. There are many people here who won't be sad about that. Meghan will be wary of getting booed at St Paul's."
Sharing a similar view on Newsweek's Royal Report podcast, Royal Correspondent Jack Royston said: "The centrepiece of this visit is a service of Thanksgiving for Invictus at St. Paul's Cathedral. Now the last time Meghan went there, Meghan and Harry were booed by royalists," he said.
"That was during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. There were cheers as well, but there were certainly boos, and that was during a similar service of Thanksgiving."
Discussing Meghan's absence from the upcoming event, Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!: "Meghan has absolutely no desire to set foot in the UK again. It must be sad for Harry who has made it clear that he loves his family here, and wants his children to know and understand their heritage.
"Meghan has been at his side for so much of the Invictus story and it must hold a special place in their hearts because it was at the games that they made their first public appearance together. If she can travel to the Netherlands for the games, why can’t she attend such an important milestone as the 10th anniversary service at St Paul's?
"It’s not because of leaving the children – because she’s going to Nigeria. And it can’t be because of security – because she’s going to Nigeria. So we are left with the one conclusion. She doesn’t want to come to the UK. It’s a dilemma for Harry, and it’s not going to go away."
