As Prince Harry prepares to return to the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, royal watchers are buzzing with speculation about potential reunions within the royal family. King Charles III has reportedly "left the door open for Harry" amid their well-publicized rift, but the same cannot be said for Meghan Markle, whom one royal expert has labeled as "toxic."

Harry, 39, is expected to arrive in the UK soon for the special anniversary event, which will be held at St Paul's Cathedral. While an Invictus Games spokesperson confirmed Harry's attendance, there has been no word on whether Meghan will join him, along with their children Archie and Lilibet.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggested that Meghan's reception in the UK would not be favorable, citing "hostility" towards her and the couple's behavior over the years. He emphasized that Meghan's presence would likely overshadow the event and its message.

Meghan attended the queen's funeral

Meghan, 42, has accompanied Harry to previous Invictus Games events in Toronto, Sydney, The Hague, and Dusseldorf, as well as the one-year-out launch party for the Vancouver games. However, she has not been seen in the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022.

Fitzwilliams acknowledged that despite any potential tension, Harry would undoubtedly want to see his father during his visit. King Charles has reportedly kept the door open for Harry, although the nature of their reunion remains uncertain.

The safety of the family would not be an issue

The royal expert also addressed concerns about security, noting that any arrangements for Harry and Meghan's protection would be handled on a case-by-case basis. Despite Harry's reported bid for increased security, Fitzwilliams believes that security would not be an issue if Harry wished to see his father.

As the royal family prepares for Harry's return, all eyes will be on the potential interactions between the Duke of Sussex and his family members, particularly King Charles, in what could be a significant moment amid ongoing royal dramas.
