Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle's first engagement in the UK in six years has been revealed, and it is only a few weeks away. The Duchess of Sussex will make a bombshell return to Prince Harry’s home country for the first time in four years. Meghan was pictured in London in 2022, to attend the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the summer and her funeral in September; however, her last official engagement as a working royal took place two years prior

The duchess attended the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on March 9, 2020, before the couple officially stepped down as senior working royals on March 31. Now, Meghan’s first engagement has been revealed after more details about the Sussexes’ trip were published.

She is scheduled to join her husband on visits to the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London and an Invictus event at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.

King Charles has offered the Sussexes accommodation at a royal residence, but it is understood the Royal Household has yet to receive confirmation of acceptance.

It is believed the family will not receive taxpayer-funded protection while in the UK, other than when they are within royal residences.

Harry has faced a protracted legal battle with the Home Office over the security arrangements for him and his family when in the UK after his level of protection changed when he stepped down as a working royal in 2020.

He is said to be trying to find a way to safely bring his wife and children to the UK next week, despite concerns over how they will be protected and confusion over where they will stay.

The duke was waiting for a review by the Risk Management Board (RMB), part of the process by which the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) rules on his security requirements, but found out on Friday this has yet to take place.

A spokesman for Harry said: “The duke continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK.”
