Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to Britain is said to include a very emotional meeting, one that will include him seeing Princess Diana’s grave with his own two little ones, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

News about these plans come via a source close to the Spencer family.

They spoke about it to Naughty But Nice and admit, “Harry still carries the loss of his mother every day.”

In his eyes the biggest tragedy, beyond all this is also that “his children will never know her.” So this trip particularly “is about helping Archie and Lilibet feel connected to a grandmother who would have adored them.”

well-placed source from the Palace’s side also weighed in on the dangers that such a public action threatens because anytime Diana is mentioned near the Sussexes, Meghan Markle, the Duchess ends up facing renewed scrutiny so the source told celebrity news reporter Rob Shuter’s Substack, “For Harry, Diana is his mother. For Meghan, critics argue Diana has sometimes become part of the brand. There are people in royal circles who worry every Diana story turns into emotional leverage that makes criticism of Meghan almost impossible.”

Prince Harry's U.S. Life:

As for what happened after the move, its said to have happened rapidly, as seen in behind-the-scenes images the Sussexes shared in their docuseries for Netflix a couple of years later.

From Vancouver Island, Canada to Santa Barbara, California, and Tyler Perry’s house in between, the couple moved around in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But before that, their last leg of royal work included attending the Endeavour Fund Awards and the Commonwealth Day Service held at Westminster Abbey.

A couple of years later news came that a 12-month ‘review period’ concluded, which meant that the Sussexes would officially be confirmed as not returning to royal life. This also led to the stripping of Prince Harry’s honorary military titles, and royal patronages.

From that point on the interviews, (Oprah Winfrey, 60 Minutes, CBS, BBC) the docuseries, (Harry & Meghan) began, right after deals were signed with both Netflix and Spotify.

While the Netflix deal is said to be ongoing, despite it being in a diminished capacity, the Spotify deal fell through and fans even saw the CEO, Daniel Ek, come out and accuse the couple of being “grafters.”

A couple of years later, around 2023, in January the memoir that Prince Harry had been working on came out, titled Spare, and showcased details from the Sandringham summit, the dog bowl incident (where Prince Harry was thrown in by his brother) as well as a promise of ‘more material’ should a second book be in consideration.

In between all this (in 2021) Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor joined the family, but not before Meghan suffered a miscarriage that she later penned for The New York Times, titled ‘The Losses We Share’.

The only documented returns to the UK where Meghan followed her husband was for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee (June 2022), then later her funeral as well. However, it did not end there because then the King’s Coronation followed, Lilibet and Archie became Prince and Princess, as is their ‘birthright’ in the words of their father, following that many years later the father and son duo made their first official contact in Windsor Castle, over tea for nearly an hour. Since then the anti-royal interviews have reduced, and its said the Sussexes are working towards rehabilitation, despite Prince William’s rumored dissatisfaction.
