Royal Family LIVE: Meghan Markle's 'furious vow' as King opens talks to see grandchildren

Prince Harry travelled to the UK alone earlier this week (Image: Getty) King Charles is reportedly hopeful of meeting Prince Harry while he is in the UK, with discussions also focusing on the possibility of seeing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet if travel arrangements can be made. The King has only met Archie on a few occasions and met Lilibet just once when the family returned for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. However, there are reports of conversations between father and son in recent weeks, with one source describing the tone as “hopeful”, the Mirror reports. Both parties are said to be committed to attempting to make a meeting between them work. Harry is said to be "frantically" trying to secure extra private security so his family can make the trip. Another source said: "The King would not pass up the opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren and if there is a way of making it possible, he will do it." Prince Harry arrived in the UK earlier this week without Meghan Markle or their children after the family enjoyed a holiday in Europe. Meghan, Archie and Lilibet had reportedly been expected to join him for the visit, but plans changed after Harry's request for taxpayer-funded security for his family was rejected and an offer for accommodation at Buckingham Palace was withdrawn at the last minute. Meanwhile, fresh reports have claimed Meghan is "furious" and has "vowed to never return to the UK to see the Royal Family" following what sources describe as a series of complications surrounding Harry's visit. Rob Shuter said on his Naughty But Nice Substack: “This was one insult too many." He added: "As far as she’s concerned, she’ll never see them again." “She believes every time he reaches out to his family, they find another way to reject him. She’s done. She has no interest in ever putting herself, or her children, through this again.” This is a live blog.

Prince Harry began his five-day visit to his home country on Tuesday , after a chaotic few days of various statements from his team and Buckingham Palace over his accommodation and travel plans. The Duke was reportedly denied taxpayer-funded police protection after a review of his threat level in the UK had not yet been released, which resulted in his wife, Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, not joining him in London, due to security fears. Despite that, on Tuesday, two unarmed police officers from the Metropolitan Police were seen alongside Harry’s security team at Chatham House just before the duke left an Invictus Games event. The Daily Express understands that the officers, from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team, were called there due to concerns that the media and crowds that had gathered were obstructing the road and public footpath. It is also understood that after providing brief assistance to the duke's security team, they carried on with their duties. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, he managed to drop into his scheduled engagement via a side door to avoid the waiting photographers. 45 mins ago 06:10 Jasmine Carey Good Morning Good morning.
