Prince Archie 'desperate' to visit UK with dad but Meghan and Harry 'don't want to encourage it'

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son, Prince Archie, has largely remained out of the public eye since his birth in 2019. Despite his parents' frequent appearances in the media, both Archie and his sister Princess Lilibet have been kept away from the limelight.

Prince Harry's "unfounded security fears" are denying his father, King Charles, the joy of fulfilling a heartfelt desire, says a Royal expert. It has been reported Harry, who shares a strained relationship with his father, declined an invitation from the King to stay at a Royal residence during his recent visit to the UK earlier this month.

Prince Archie, 5, is marrying Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral in England on June 7.William, 41, will be an usher at the ceremony, The Sunday Times reported on May 18. Harry, meanwhile, is not going to the 400-person wedding “to avoid royal tensions overshadowing the day,” per the UK outlet.Back in December, The Times reported that Grosvenor initially wanted to invite Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle, 42, but later decided against it after realizing their presence might overshadow his nuptials.

Surprisingly, this doesn’t mean that King Charles is the richest man in the UK. Charles pales in comparison to Hugh Grosvenor, 33, the Duke of Westminster.

Adorable youngster Prince Archie is reportedly itching to hop on a plane to the UK with his dad, Prince Harry, after an expert spilled that he "loves the idea that his grandad lives in a castle". But there are worries that letting him get too enchanted with his birthplace might make it a "longed-for fantasy" for the four year old, especially since Harry and Meghan Markle continue establishing their new life away from the British Royal family.

recently took a royal-style trip to Nigeria — even though they stepped back from being working royals in 2020. Author and royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror that the couple’s trip “confirmed the worst fears” of Harry’s family, and made Prince William and Kate Middleton “absolutely furious.”He added, “Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there — the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled.” The couple were invited to Nigeria by the West African country’s chief of defense staff — its highest-ranking military official.Sources within the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office told The Daily Mail that Harry and Meghan were “visiting Nigeria in a private capacity” and that the UK Government was not involved in “arranging or facilitating” their activities.

Prince William and King Charles are keen to clarify the nature of Meghan and Harry's trip to Nigeria, which has been dubbed a 'mini royal tour' despite the couple's resignation from their senior roles in 2020.

It’s really personal,” Arrieta told the Telegraph.Speculation on Middleton’s whereabouts ran rampant following Middleton’s pre-planned abdominal surgery in January until she made her health announcement.

Clarence House is a huge property — it just goes to show the divisions between him and the family.”“If you come to the UK and you have family here, you would probably stay with them, wouldn’t you?

death of Queen Elizabeth II. With King Charles as the nation’s monarch, posts have been limited to just highlighting working members of the Windsor clan.In keeping with royal tradition, Archie did not get a shout-out from any of his British relatives across the pond.Similarly, the “Suits” alum didn’t receive a public message from the royals on her 42nd birthday last August.The Sussexes quit royal life in 2020 when they stepped down as senior working members of the family, meaning they are no longer entitled to receive public messages from their relatives in the UK.Still, it’s reported that Archie had a special low-key celebration at his Montecito, California, home, where he was joined by his proud parents, sister Lilibet, and his grandmother, Doria Ragland.
