The leak came after Harry lost his claim against RAVEC regarding being stripped of his royal security arrangements. If reinstated, the security could make Meghan feel more comfortable visiting the UK.

According to the insider, Harry has pleaded with Meghan because he doesn't want to take the trip alone.

Another source claimed, "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."

Prince Harry Lost His Royal Security Case

Meghan's major concern about the trip has reportedly been security. Unfortunately, the couple no longer has access to royal security, a battle Harry took to the courts and recently lost.

In a High Court ruling, Judge Peter Lane wrote that RAVEC (Royal and VIP Executive Committee) did not unlawfully remove Harry's security by changing his status after he stepped down as a senior Royal.

RAVEC is an office that coordinates between the Royal Household, the Metropolitan Police, and the Home Office. The judge declared that the office was within its rights to take a "bespoke" and "case-by-case" approach in evaluating Harry's situation according to their policy.

According to The Mirror, Lawyers representing the Home Office have said that despite Harry not being a member of the group whose "security position" comes under RAVEC's review, he could be reintegrated into the program in certain appropriate circumstances.

Royal security would likely make Meghan feel more comfortable visiting the UK with their kids if reinstated. This would mean more opportunities for the royal family to meet with the Sussexes and possibly mend the rift.

During a chat with the news outlet, Royal expert Tom Quinn said that the Duke of Sussex "misses" his relationship with sister-in-law Kate Middleton.

"[Harry] really misses that warm, uncomplicated relationship, and he is torn between loyalty to his wife and regret about the loss of the woman he was so close to," he stated.

Quinn further claimed that "Losing Kate was Harry's second great loss after losing his mother."

However, according to the expert, Meghan has a different perspective regarding her relationship with the Princess of Wales.

"Meghan doesn't feel guilty about Kate because she feels that Kate should've been the one person in the royal family to back her against every difficulty," he claimed.

Quinn further noted that the two ladies may never reconcile, despite Kate's cancer battle, as their relationship "has become so poisonous."

Despite the strain, Harry and Meghan wished Kate "health" and "healing" after she announced her cancer diagnosis.
