Prince Harry is expected to arrive in the United Kingdom soon as he prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
The event, significant for military veterans, will be held on May 8 at the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Notably, the cathedral is a mere 21-minute journey from Buckingham Palace, emphasizing the event’s prominence. However, Harry will attend the celebrations without his wife, Meghan Markle.
Meghan has opted to travel to Nigeria instead of accompanying her husband to the UK, amid concerns over potential public backlash. Her decision comes in light of past experiences where she felt unwelcome and faced harsh criticism. The Duchess’s popularity has notably waned on the eastern side of the Atlantic, prompting fears of being booed or subjected to negative interactions by the public.
What Are The Royal Experts Saying
Charlotte Griffiths, the Royal Editor for the Daily Mail, commented on the situation, stating, “If she was to come to the UK, it would be really difficult. It would bring up terrible memories of the past for her and create awkward moments, similar to those she experienced at various church events.”
Griffiths further elaborated on Meghan’s character, describing her as strong and brave. “She’s always telling us how brave she is. So if I were her, I would be brave and walk up those steps. It would look great for her Netflix show anyway,” she added.
