Huge Slap: Eugenie’s Move May Grant Harry and Meghan New Privilege on UK Trip
Princess Eugenie's recent decision may have opened the doors for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to find accommodation during their upcoming visit to the UK.
The Sussexes delighted royal fans with the announcement that they would be returning to Britain next month for a series of engagements with charities close to their hearts.
This will mark their first visit since the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June.
In addition to their UK trip, they will also be traveling to Germany to commemorate the Invictus Games 2023 for injured military personnel in Dusseldorf.
According to a spokesperson for Meghan and Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are thrilled to be visiting several charities that hold special meaning to them in early September.
However, it is unlikely that they will be staying with the Queen during their visit, as she is currently enjoying her annual summer break in Balmoral, Scotland.
Instead, it is believed that Harry, 37, and Meghan, 41, will opt to stay in Windsor.
Since leaving their royal roles, the couple has employed a team of private bodyguards and no longer hold the status of internationally protected persons.
Interestingly, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex already have their own regal residence in the UK, Frogmore Cottage.
Recently, Princess Eugenie, 32, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 36, were residing there with their one-year-old son, August.
However, Eugenie and Jack have since moved out of the lavish 10-bedroom home located on the grounds of Windsor's Home Park.
This decision could potentially pave the way for Harry and Meghan to utilize the cottage for their accommodation in September.
A source close to the situation previously hinted that Meghan and Harry's lease renewal on the property indicated their intention to maintain a presence in Windsor.
They stated that by extending the lease and with Eugenie and Jack focusing on Portugal, the couple has secured a prime location in Windsor Court.
This allows them the flexibility to come and go as they please.
As the coming year promises to be one of the most tumultuous in royal history, the Sussexes are ensuring they have a foothold in Windsor.
Harry, who has expressed concerns about his family's safety in the UK, is currently involved in legal battles with the Home Office.
He is suing them over their refusal to provide him with automatic police protection and access to intelligence during his visits.
Additionally, he has initiated separate legal action against the Home Office and Metropolitan Police, seeking permission to personally hire specialist police protection teams.
Royal sources believe that it is highly likely Harry and Meghan will want to meet with the 96-year-old monarch, not only for personal reasons but also to enhance the commercial value of their brand.
However, it remains uncertain whether the Queen will have the time to accommodate a meeting, given the numerous commitments she has during that period.
As of now, there are no plans for the Sussexes to meet with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The ongoing rift between Prince Charles's two sons shows no signs of healing, especially with the recent revelation that Harry is writing a memoir set to be published later this year.
The book is expected to reopen wounds surrounding the Sussexes' claims of racism within the royal family and allegations of Meghan bullying palace staff.
On a positive note, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's charitable organization, Archewel, has been recognized for its advocacy work for Afghan refugees.
They will be receiving the Partner Organization Award in New York next week.
James Holt, the Executive Director of the Archewel Foundation, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing their shared commitment to supporting families and veterans.
In other news related to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming visit to the UK, online criticism against the couple has intensified.
One particular focus of criticism is Harry's previous appearance at the WellChild Awards, where he broke down on stage.
Critics have shared a video of the event from two years ago, accusing him of staging a dramatic performance by faking tears.
However, it is important to note that these criticisms are subjective and do not reflect the overall sentiment towards the couple.
As the anticipation builds for Harry and Meghan's return to the UK, all eyes will be on their engagements and interactions during this significant visit.
