Prince Harry urges Meghan Markle as Royal Family delays key decision
Royal Family’s silence prompts emotional plea from Prince Harry
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly face new tensions as the Royal Family delays a major update.
The Duke of Sussex is preparing for a Christmas trip to the UK but has yet to receive any confirmation from Buckingham Palace, per the Royal Insider.
According to the sources, Harry is keen to visit the UK with Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
For those unversed, this expected visit would mark their first trip as a couple since Queen Elizabeth's funeral in 2022.
However, the Royal Family’s delayed approval has reportedly created stress at Harry’s Los Angeles home, where he and Meghan have been living since 2020.
A source told Closer magazine, "The whole waiting game, and to have everything thrown into chaos by the royals, who still haven’t given Harry the courtesy of a date to work around, is beyond inconvenient."
"That alone is very stressful because Meghan is a planner, she has a full schedule and she needs to lock things in sometimes months in advance," the insider continued.
The tipster added, "She can’t just drop everything to fly over to the UK with Harry – to her that would upend everything.”
The source further noted that "Harry understands it’s stressful for her and he’s always sympathetic but he feels it’s crucial that she make a show of good faith."
The development follows Meghan Markle’s recent announcement of the Christmas special episode of her Netflix series With Love, which premieres on December 3, 2025.
