Since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, Markle has not been in the country, while her husband has made several trips without her. The issue of security has remained relevant for the Sussex family since Prince Harry stepped back from his royal duties in 2020, and he has repeatedly raised concerns about the increased risks that prevent him from bringing his wife and children—Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—to Britain.
As Harry lost the right to automatic security protection, he initiated a legal battle with the UK Home Office. Although he was unsuccessful in court, he has not given up on trying to change this decision.
By 2026, the security situation has changed. Despite setbacks in previous legal proceedings, there are claims that Harry has been able to reach certain agreements with the government. This opens up possibilities for Meghan and the children to safely visit the prince's homeland. This visit is expected to be one of the most talked-about events of the year.
According to information from Radar Online, Markle has put forward a number of demands, including the closure of four floors of the Hyatt hotel for her needs. There are also plans to arrange round-the-clock security on the street outside the hotel, and staff are prohibited from looking at the duchess or addressing her in any way other than "Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex." The list of demands includes luxury cars and police escort from the airport to the hotel.
Additionally, Markle has requested a personal chef to prepare all her meals, as well as four separate rooms for her assistant and styling team.
