Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has expressed hesitations about attending an upcoming Invictus Games ceremony in London due to concerns over potential negative reactions from the public. This decision follows mixed receptions during her and Prince Harry’s last visit to the UK, particularly during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at St Paul’s Cathedral in 2022, where the couple received both cheers and jeers. An incident at Windsor Castle, where an attempt by Meghan to engage with attendees was met with rejection, has contributed to her apprehension.

Instead of traveling to the UK, Meghan plans to join Prince Harry in Nigeria, where they have been invited by the chief of defence staff to engage in cultural activities and interact with service members and their families. This visit aims to highlight positive exchanges and cultural appreciation, distancing from the potential negativity in the UK.

Meanwhile, King Charles was recently seen engaging warmly with his niece, Zara Tindall, at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in Berkshire. This event, historically cherished by the late Queen Elizabeth II, was marked by personal moments among the royal family, despite the inclement weather. King Charles’ attendance comes shortly after his visit to a cancer treatment unit in London, following his own treatment. The Royal Windsor Horse Show remains a significant event, attracting royal family members and equestrian fans annually.
