Meghan Markle hasn't visited the U.K. since
Queen Elizabeth II's 2022 funeral, but she's expected to attend
Prince Harry's 2027 Invictus Games in the region.
"I'd give the U.K. a miss," royal correspondent
Jennie Bond wrote in the
i Paper. "Any visit by Meghan would need to be carefully curated and monitored."

Prince Harry previously said the U.K. was too dangerous for Meghan Markle to visit, but the government's updated review of his case could change things.
"She may not be in the same physical danger, but she's more likely to be the target of a verbal backlash than Harry, who still has a way of endearing himself to the crowds," Jennie Bond noted.

"If I were her, I'd give the U.K. a miss. She's clearly happy at home in California," Jennie Bond continued. "Why wouldn't she be? She's free, she's wealthy, she has a husband who adores her and children she loves. Why court hostility over here?"

King Charles III hasn't seen Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet since 2022, so having extra personnel could make room for the monarch to see his American grandkids.
"Harry and the kids can pop over and see Grandpa. Archie and Lilibet can take a peek inside the Palace walls their ancestors have inhabited," Jennie Bond said. "And then they can all head back to the sunshine."
