Meghan Markle wishes Prince Harry could ‘let go’ of the legal battle over their family’s security as she wants the Duke to be ‘free’, sources have said.

Harry is continuing to appeal against a UK High Court decision about his security, having lost several rounds of the case against the Home Office.

A friend close to Harry said the Duke’s calls to his father over the issues are going ‘unanswered’, according to a report by People magazine.

Meghan wishes the Duke ‘could let go of these lawsuits’ and ‘live in the moment’, sources told the US magazine.

The report quoted a former employee of the Sussexes’ Archewell Foundation, who said: ‘[Meghan] wants him to be free of all of this, but she also knows that because of everything he’s been through and his love for [her and their children], he can’t.

Harry previously told an ITV interviewer that he ‘won’t bring my wife back to this country’ over ‘genuine concerns’ about security

‘She wants him to live in a world where he is not burdened by this.’

Harry previously told an ITV interviewer that he ‘won’t bring my wife back to this country’ over ‘genuine concerns’ about security.

Earlier this year, a High Court judge ruled that Harry had ‘comprehensively lost’ a bid to appeal against a Home Office decision about his UK security.

He had hoped for a judicial review over a decision made by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) to remove his right to automatic police protection after he decided to exit the working Royal family.

Harry still receives protection when he comes back to Britain in certain circumstances, but must give 28 days’ notice on his plans.

Harry allegedly believes that his father should intervene in the security issue to make sure his youngest son and family are safe when in the UK.

The communication between Harry and Charles, the sources told People Magazine, has moved from frustration to ‘complete silence’.

‘He’s not asking his dad for a nicer house or nicer cars. He’s asking because of the reality of the situation. He is at risk,’ a source said.

The legal battle has sparked fears that Charles may never reunite with his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as Harry refuses to bring his family to the UK.

Royal experts told The Mail on Sunday that the King will become ‘more and more remote’ from the children in an ‘incredibly sad situation’.

King Charles last saw Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, in June 2022 when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
