Harry and Meghan. UK Visit.

Just one look at Harry’s face and you can read what’s on his mind. 🤔

One might be a cynic and suggest that a visit to Althorp is merely the precursor to a documentary about his Mother.

And yet another opportunity to show the Royal Family in a bad light.

I suppose it may depend upon whether Charles Spencer would wish to protect his relationship with his heir to the throne nephew William, or if he would rather cash in on the opportunity of attracting more (paying) overseas visitors.

I can just see the pictures of Meghan posing sadly by the memorial island.
Good point re Spencer.

You would think that Charles being hugly wealthy a multi billionaire would offer to pay security for his son and family but royals never pay for anything.

Royals speak to the press all the time brief them that's what they do. That way press gets stories about the royals it's a two way street.

About talking to the press, it's a pity Charles and William didn't, as yet speak up about Andrew and what they know, what are they hiding.

Hoping the Sovereign Grant, now Buckingham Palace is renovated, the huge amount they are receiving be looked into and drasticly reduced.

You would think that Charles being hugely wealthy a multi billionaire would offer to pay for security for his son and family…

It’s not simply security is it though?

It’s armed security they want, which is a bit different.

He’s apparently not bringing Meghan and the children next week now due to security concerns. However, it is possible they may join him later in Birmingham! So will they be safer there than in a royal palace? Don’t understand his thinking.

In the UK, all Royal security/protection are armed when on duty.

Exactly.

Armed protection in the UK is provided exclusively by specialist police forces (e.g. The Met).

It cannot be bought regardless of who you are or how wealthy you are.

They would have known what the security measures would be before announcing the visit. It's one big publicity stunt and a cruel one as Charles would have thought he was going to see his GC.

The toxic pair are just playing the media. Of course they’ll want a photo opportunity at Althorp, what with the claim that Harry’s late mother spoke to him through Meghan, the actress whose superpowers are boundless. They’re both vile in their endless whining, and media manipulation.

I do think that there are a lot of naive people on this thread if they think every meet up is announced. I am sure they meet secretly as they are entitled to. A public meetup is ill advised as you can see from they very angry remarks here .

Really!!! I very much doubt if there was ever a meetup it would remain secret.

Saturday tea-time - did I just hear on the radio that Meghan and the children are not coming over with Harry, might join him later? Or am I dreaming?

I agree. There have been no meet ups that we don't know about.
I'd say Charles, Camilla,William, Kate and possibly all the royals are relieved not ti have to politely tolerate Meghan.....

You really think all private engagements are not private ? I think you need to step back from your newspaper readings if you believe that !

Of course there are private meetings, but the Markles would not choose to keep any relationship with the royal family secret; they need the publicity. And if you wonder how people appear to know so much it is because H & M brief the Press via 'friends,' just as Diana used to do.
How accurate it is of course, who knows?
So William is his Uncle's keeper? Is Charles my brother's keeper?

Harry cannot force his father to give him security. This is solely a government decision and the King has absolutely no say whatsoever. Harry knows this perfectly well but simply will not accept it. Full armed security is only granted to the King and Queen, William and Catherine. The other working royals only get it when carrying out royal duties, otherwise they have one full time unarmed security officer. Harry is not a working royal, decided to leave this country, has caused the RF no end of grief and broke his grandmothers heart, and yet he expects the British tax payer to pay for full security as and when he decides to turn up!! .NO!.NO!.NO!

I'd want protection, too, if I was Harry.
He seems to elicit nore hatred than Andrew.
Weird.

Again, now people here are creating facts as if they are part of the inner circle of a family that just might want privacy and can see for themselves how it might be best to keep things private and not official as it would be far too dangerous for a public meeting with such aggression amongs the public.

That's true.

🖕 That's true, too.

They should have visited the family quietly without fuss then disappeared in the same way.

We, the public didn’t even have to know about it. What an absolute circus this is turning into.

At the time of the wedding between Harry and Meghan I remember posting on this forum Meghan looked like the cat which had swallowed the cream.
My views are the same today as they were then.
Just my own opinion and no one needs to agree with it.

Back in May Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria which he presumably thinks is a less dangerous country than England.

Poor Charles. First he is seeing his grandchildren, now that’s been scrapped.
It’s blackmail, pure and simple.
“Cough up for my family’s armed protection or you don’t get to see your grandchildren “

What a thoroughly unpleasant character Harry has become.

There could be a private visit easily without any public involvement at all thats easily arranged but thats not what H&M want, they want a media circus they can make money out of.
King Charles has said a very firm "no" thats not going to happen, Im sure he would like to see the GC but not at any price. Not permitting a public profile for a visit is a real snub and might just be the nemesis for the Sussexes and travel to other places will be treated in the same way. After the Australian embarrassment not too many others want a repeat
