London, UK - Prince Harry is currently back in London for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, but his wife, Meghan Markle, has stayed behind at their US home, sparking significant speculation among royal insiders.

Royal expert Richard Eden has now revealed in an interview with the Daily Mail that the Duchess is afraid of returning to her old home with her husband.

After the scandalous interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the ex-royal had to take a lot of criticism, even going so far as to be publicly booed at Queen Elizabeth II's jubilee the following year.

"She doesn't want to return to Britain in a hurry," the insider said.

It's still unclear when, if ever, Meghan will return to the UK.

Meanwhile, Harry is also confirmed not to be visiting his father, King Charles III, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.

"The duke, of course, is understanding of his father's diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon," a spokesman for the 39-year-old said.

Harry is also said to be skipping out on time with his brother, Prince William – a decision reportedly made by the Prince of Wales and his wife, Kate Middleton.
