There may be a potential breakthrough on the horizon. A review is currently underway to assess whether Prince Harry and his family require enhanced security protection in the UK, amid claims that their current arrangements do not adequately reflect the risks they face.

Fitzwilliams acknowledged that increased security could “open the door” for Meghan to return to Britain—but warned that it would not remove the deeper barriers.

“Her ratings are absolutely terrible,” he said, pointing to public opinion polls. “She is not popular with the British public.”

‘No affection for Britain’

Beyond security and public perception, Fitzwilliams highlighted what he sees as a more fundamental issue: Meghan’s attitude toward the UK itself.

“She does not appear to have any affection for Britain,” he said. “That has never manifested itself. I can’t see Meghan coming to Britain before the Invictus Games—what would she do, and why would she come? It’s not as simple as just turning up and seeing King Charles.”
