Meghan Markle has reportedly told Prince Harry that she will not join him on an upcoming trip to the UK this summer, deepening tensions in their marriage amid claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton have effectively 'banished' the Sussexes from their royal circle. The reported stand-off over Harry's plans to spend part of the school holidays in Europe, including time in Scotland, is said to have erupted just days after the couple marked their eighth wedding anniversary in California.
Harry and Meghan's relationship with the rest of the royal family has been fragile since they stepped back as senior working royals in 2020 and relocated to the US. Once promoted as the modernising 'Fab Four,' the Sussexes and the then Cambridges have scarcely been seen together in public since the late Queen's funeral in September 2022. According to heat, which cites unnamed insiders, uncertainty over whether Harry and Meghan will visit the UK with their children this summer has reopened many of those old wounds.
