Prince Harry faced with huge dilemma over UK return due to Meghan's 'change of heart'

Prince Harry has been left with a huge dilemma after his wife, Meghan Markle has had a change of heart over their possible UK return trip next month, according to a source.

The Duke of Sussex is expected to return to his home country in just a few weeks to speak at the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service which will take place at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8.

Although their visit has not been officially confirmed, the 39-year-old prince is listed as a guest in the official running of the service, while the duchess' attendance is listed as to be confirmed, the Express reports.

According to an insider, the former Suits actress had been willing to accompany her husband and bring their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with them but she now has concerns for their safety after plans for their trip were leaked.

The source told New magazine: "It's now got to the point where Meghan doesn't want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn't feel safe.

"The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go to it alone."

The source added that Harry made a seven-word plea to his wife as he told her: "I don't want to do this alone."

The insider claimed that the Duke of Sussex doesn't want to "keep making solo trips to the UK" explaining: "He would prefer it if the entire family made regular visits to see his family and build bridges, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that it just isn't possible at the moment.

"Both Harry and Meghan were planning to come to the UK, but when the exact time and date of their appearance [at the Invictus ceremony] were made public, she started to rethink that idea."
