Concerns about safety are not new for the Sussexes. Since stepping back from senior royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan lost access to taxpayer funded armed protection in the UK. Harry has spent years challenging that decision through the courts. He has repeatedly said that he does not feel it is safe to bring Meghan or their children Archie and Lilibet to Britain under current arrangements.
Neither child has visited the UK since the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. In May 2025, Harry lost his latest legal appeal to reinstate full security protection. Even so, he continues to push for change. Following the ruling, he announced plans to write to the Home Secretary requesting a review of how RAVEC decisions are made, raising concerns about transparency in the process.
For now, Meghan’s possible return remains an open question. The desire may be there, the event is on the calendar, but the final decision rests with security officials. Until that verdict arrives, the Duchess of Sussex remains in waiting mode, with her next step tied firmly to whether Britain will once again be declared safe for her and her family.
