While no official invitations have been issued, senior royals, including the King, are expected to be invited. The Invictus Games Foundation is also preparing a wave of promotional events across Birmingham this summer, adding further pressure — and spotlight — to the Sussexes’ potential return.
Meghan’s complicated relationship with time away from her children
Meghan has previously admitted that extended time away from her children is emotionally difficult. In her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, she revealed that being apart for nearly three weeks left her struggling.
“The longest I went without being around our kids was almost three weeks. I was… not well,” she confessed.
That makes any UK visit even more significant — and explains why security remains a non-negotiable issue.
Still firmly by Harry’s side
Despite skipping the 2019 Invictus year-ahead event due to Archie’s birth, Meghan has consistently shown up for the games, attending events in Toronto, The Hague, Vancouver, and Whistler over the years.
Most recently, she and Harry made a virtual appearance at an Oprah Daily event hosted by Gayle King, where they spoke passionately about online safety, screen time, and protecting children’s wellbeing.
“You cannot replace the feeling of a deep guttural belly laugh,” Meghan said. “An emoji laugh is not the same physiological response that we need — that our kids need.”
The couple continue to campaign on digital safety through their Archewell Foundation, having launched The Parents’ Network to support families affected by online harm.
For now, all eyes are on the government’s decision — because Meghan Markle’s long-awaited UK return depends on it.
