Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly on a European getaway with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
People reported Sunday that the family is currently vacationing in Europe, though it is unclear where. The vacation comes ahead of their family trip to the UK in July still being up in the air.
Earlier this month, we heard that Harry, 41, and Markle, 44, were planning to bring their kids to the United Kingdom in July for the first time since 2022.
Page Six reported earlier that Harry had hoped to bring his wife and their children back to England while he promotes his Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham next year. We were told Harry desperately wants to bring his family over to see his father, King Charles.
However, the trip might reportedly be scrapped due to the couple being denied taxpayer-funded security for their trip.
“Their plans to see family, friends and visit various charitable causes close to the duke’s heart have been pulled out from under their feet at the 11th hour,” a source told the Guardian on Sunday.
Per the insider, the Duke of Sussex is still “looking at every option to try and get” Markle, along with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, to England “safely and keep them safe when they’re on the ground.”
Sources told Page Six earlier that Harry is expected to bring his own security team for the trip, as the couple were preparing for a “huge spectacle.”
One insider said the family won’t fly by private jet, but they will have their own bodyguards, adding, “Harry always travels with one of two of his own security team.”
Harry — who pays about $3 million a year for private security in the US — has yet to be afforded VIP security after battling the British Home Office for 24/7 armed police escorts, and is in a “holding pattern,” we were told.
But Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Harry, offering him a royal residence with private security for his stay with his wife and kids.
Harry is set to attend a “one-year-to-go” countdown celebration for his Invictus Games, which are scheduled for July 10–17, 2027.
