Last year, Harry disputed the Home Office\u2019s decision to cut his security protection while he was in the UK. Following his departure from royal life, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) withdrew his automatic police protection. Additionally, his offer to pay for his own security was rejected because British police could not be hired privately.\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was with great sadness for both of us that my wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020,\u201d Harry\u2019s statement, read by his lawyer Shaheed Fatima KC stated, as reported by BBC. \u201cThe UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US. That cannot happen if it\u2019s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.\u201d\n\n\n\n The Duke added, \u201cI cannot put my wife in danger like that, and, given my experiences in life, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm\u2019s way too.\u201d\n\n\n\n However, Harry and Meghan are still close to certain members of the Firm, including Princess Eugenie. According to Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal expert, this could be interpreted as a good will by Harry and Meghan to stay close with select members of the royalty and possibly a step towards rebuilding their relationship with King Charles and Prince William.\n\n\n\n A source told Closer that Meghan Markle is \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d that the royals \u201cmight manipulate\u201d Harry into returning to the royal fold.\n\n\n\n \u201cNow, if it is deemed safe from a security standpoint, it\u2019s likely she\u2019ll give her blessing for Harry to take Archie and Lilibet to see their grandpa, King Charles, at some point,\u201d the insider said, per The Sun. \u201cAnd in terms of logistics, having a place in Portugal will make that easier, because Meghan can fly over with the kids without feeling trapped.\u201d In the resent months, both Harry and Meghan took a number of solo engagements, and as per a GB News source, the Duchess is affected by the rumors.\n\n\n\n \u201cShe has really felt the strain in recent weeks, and with all the speculation surrounding her and Harry and their marriage,\u201d the source said.\n\n\n\n \u201cThey haven\u2019t done themselves any favours by doing so many separate events but this is what they have decided to do as it works best for them at the moment as a couple and they both feel they can shine at events that are close to their hearts.\u201d The source added: \u201cBut it does upset her that, while Harry was getting praised for all of his appearances, she is getting criticised for what she says, what she wears, etc and it brings back hurtful memories of when she was a royal.\u201d\n\n\n\n PR expert Ed Coram James argues that working on separate project may help the couple build more positive image of themselves as separate individuals.\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is because the ongoing confrontation with the rest of the Royal Family, as well as much of Meghan\u2019s family, have made them appear confrontational and combative, their string of commercial projects that haven\u2019t worked out and have led to a sense that they aren\u2019t the best producers. And their worldwide publicity tour made them look whiney, ungrateful, and unconscious to the enormous privilege that they have enjoyed,\u201d Ed Coram James told the Mirror. \u201cTo overcome the obstacles of appearing spoiled, arrogant, immature, attention-seeking, aggressive, fight-picking, hypocritical, and incompetent is very tricky. But, it is achievable. To do it, they need to lean into the exact opposites of these labels. The first step in this always had to be to dissociate themselves from the brand that had achieved such labels in the first place.\u201d\n\n\n\n James added: \u201cWhen combined, the Sussexes brand is, from a PR perspective, toxic. But, when separate, they have a genuine chance of creating an entirely separate brand, with completely different labels. If they manage to achieve this, then one day they could again reunite brands, and create a new combined brand that works.\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cI think their decision to pursue individual brands could indeed work in their favour over the long term, although it\u2019s bound to spark a fair amount of public speculation in the short term,\u201d he said.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \u201cFrom a PR perspective, this shift might allow each of them to create distinct brands that better reflect their different priorities and resonate more coherently with their individual audiences.\u201d\n\n\n\n The Duchess attended a Thanksgiving event hosted by the Southern California Welcome Project in collaboration with their Archewell Foundation, while her husband was in Canada doing events related to the Invictus Games.\n\n\n\n At the event Meghan attended, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity to connect with women who had resettled in the United States from Afghanistan. \u201cThis initiative, led by the partner organization Mina\u2019s List, has spent the past year building community through storytelling and creating a safe space for women who have resettled in the U.S. from Afghanistan. The evening included a shared meal that encouraged open conversation centered on gratitude and resilience,\u201d she said in her statement. The couple will attend the Invictus Games in February 2025 together. They will likely take their children with them, which would be a rare public appearance of the young prince and princess.\n\n\n\n Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.\n\n\n\n Bored Daddy\n\n\n\n Love and Peace\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A source close to the Sussexes opened up about Meghan\u2019s decision not to accompany her husband to Britain for the Invictus Games celebration. \u201cIt\u2019s now […]\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6181"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6181"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6182,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6181\/revisions\/6182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sciencesandnatures.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
