Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are close to being persuaded to visit Balmoral, the royal residence and favorite of the late Queen Elizabeth, but with one significant condition. Balmoral, cherished by the late Queen, is a tradition King Charles continues by inviting the entire family each year.
In recent years, the Sussexes, who relocated to America after stepping down as working royals, have been noticeably absent from Balmoral. Each year, speculation arises about whether Harry, Meghan, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will join the family in Scotland, potentially mending their rift with the Firm.
However, a major obstacle stands in the way: Prince Harry insists on overturning a Home Office ruling denying him immediate police protection in the UK. Without this security, he feels he cannot safely bring his family to his homeland.
Harry has been legally contesting the February 2020 decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), which revoked his publicly-funded protection. He believes that without proper security, his children cannot feel at home in the UK.
In a previous court hearing, Harry expressed his sorrow over stepping back from royal duties and leaving the UK. He emphasized the importance of the UK to his children's heritage and his desire for them to feel safe and at home in Britain.
Despite losing his initial claim, Harry has been granted permission to appeal. This year, he made two solo trips to the UK: one for a service at St. Paul's Cathedral for the Invictus Games and another brief visit to his father, King Charles, following a cancer diagnosis.
In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Harry expressed his love for his family and mentioned plans for future visits to the UK, indicating he would see his family whenever possible.
