Prince Harry will travel alone to the UK after a request for taxpayer‑funded police protection for his family was rejected, prompting Meghan Markle and their children to withdraw from the trip due to safety concerns. King Charles offered secure royal accommodation, but Harry’s team argued that risks would remain during public engagements. Harry will fulfil charity commitments in London and Birmingham, while Meghan and the children may still visit Birmingham under private security. Supporters online largely backed Harry’s decision, and the change in plans ends hopes for a reunion between King Charles and his grandchildren as Harry remains distressed by the ongoing security dispute.
