Meghan Markle Refuses to Bring Kids to Meet Queen After Security Dispute

Meghan Markle has made a bold decision not to bring her two children to meet the Queen following a reported disagreement with the government over security arrangements for Archie and Lilybet.

The government allegedly stood firm on their stance regarding Prince Harry's security detail for their children, despite the couple's demands.

This revelation comes from Ken Wharfe, a former police protection officer, who criticized the Duke of Sussex for what he deemed as an ill-advised move and questioned the validity of his claims of being denied protection.

In a recent interview on the pod Save the Queen podcast, Wharfe expressed his disbelief at Prince Harry's decision to take legal action against the British government and the Metropolitan Police.

He emphasized the potential negative impact of such actions on the public perception of the royal family.

Addressing the issue of the couple's personal security team being restricted from accessing intelligence information and carrying firearms, Wharfe defended the government's position, stating that it was crucial to ensure the safety of a global icon like Prince Harry upon his return to the UK.

Wharfe also shared his personal perspective on the matter, suggesting that Prince Harry may have exaggerated the security concerns and that he would eventually come to realize the necessity of protection provided by the government and law enforcement agencies.

Despite the ongoing dispute, Wharfe believes that Prince Harry will need to cooperate and acknowledge the support offered by the authorities for his safety and that of his family.

In a separate development, speculations are rife in British tabloids about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming visit to the UK next month.

Reports suggest that the couple might be considering enrolling their children in UK schools, hinting at a potential extended stay in the country.

However, Ahmed Scobie, the author of the unauthorized biography “Finding Freedom,” dismissed these rumors, clarifying that the royal couple's visit is primarily for work engagements.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are scheduled to attend various charitable events in the UK and Germany, including the One Young World Summit in Manchester on Sept. 5, the Invictus Games one-year anniversary event in Germany on Sept. 6, and the WellChild Awards in the UK on Sept. 8.

The couple will also engage with summit delegates focusing on gender equality during the One Young World event, showcasing their continued commitment to philanthropic causes.

A statement released by the Invictus Games' Twitter account confirmed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's participation in the upcoming event in Dusseldorf, marking the countdown to the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023.

As Prince Harry prepares for his court battle with the UK Home Department over security matters, his upcoming engagements reflect his dedication to charitable initiatives and public service, despite the ongoing controversies surrounding his relationship with the British authorities.
