Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly facing a tough decision regarding their Christmas plans this year. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been invited to spend the holiday with Harry’s uncle, Charles Spencer, but concerns over their safety remain a significant issue.
Editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, shared her thoughts on the situation with Fabulous, highlighting the challenges the couple faces. “I think the Duchess of Sussex’s views on coming back to the UK are probably pretty negative,” Seward stated. “I don’t imagine you would want to return to a country where you are so universally disliked.”
Security concerns are also a major factor influencing their decision. “The problem of security is still not solved, and Harry has made it clear that he won’t bring his wife and children back until he feels they are in a secure position,” Seward added.
Seward also pointed out the family dilemma Harry and Meghan face as their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, grow older. “The children are probably absolutely intrigued to know what their cousins are like, but they wouldn’t remember them,” she explained. “An invitation from Charles Spencer might be attractive as it would give them the opportunity to meet other cousins.”
However, such a visit raises more questions. “Is Harry going to see his father?” Seward asked. “Is he going to see any other members of his family?”
At the moment, Seward believes Harry and Meghan may still be undecided. “They seem to make a lot of fairly last-minute decisions in their lives,” she noted, suggesting that the couple’s plans could remain uncertain until closer to the holiday.
The couple’s dilemma highlights the ongoing tension between their desire to connect with family and the difficulties surrounding their strained relationship with the UK, as well as the unresolved security concerns that have kept them at a distance.
