Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s strategy when they were in the UK earlier this month “worked really well” for both of them, an expert has said. While the Duke of Sussex was in his home country for almost a week, carrying out a mix of public and private engagements, this was not the case for Meghan.
Although the 44-year-old Duchess was expected to make public appearances with her husband, she no longer did so due to security concerns. Instead, Meghan flew into Britain later on in the week with the couple’s children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. The duchess and her children made no public appearances.

While some people may have been disappointed by this, brand and culture expert Nick Ede believes that it actually worked out well for both Harry and Meghan.
He told the Daily Express: “I think it’s actually a good thing that she isn’t making big appearances and keeping a low profile works really well for the two of them.
“It stops them being scrutinised relentlessly and also allows her to build her reputation and life back rather than big events where she can be open to ridicule.”
It is believed that since their last UK visit, which was the first time Meghan had set foot in the country since 2022, the couple are hoping to spend more time in Britain with their children.

However, this is likely to depend on the security situation, as Harry has said many times, he feels the UK is unsafe without police protection for his wife and children.
The lack of armed police protection during the recent UK visit is why Meghan, Archie and Lilibet spent only a very brief time in the UK and arrived later than expected.
This is because the Duke reportedly had to spend time sorting out an enhanced security package for them.
