Meghan Markle is facing a major problem ahead of her first visit to Britain in four years

Since then, Harry has traveled alone to his home country, including for his father, King Charles’ coronation in 2023 and multiple lawsuits against British newspapers.

Friends said the memory of those visits still weighs heavily on Meghan.

“On previous visits she felt the focus quickly shifted from the purpose of her trip to personal criticism,” the source added.

“That pattern of questioning her character rather than recognizing her work is exactly what she desperately wants to prevent from happening again.”

Online abuse and trolling are also a major problem, with supporters warning that a return could spark a new wave of hostile commentary.

Despite the concerns, sources say Meghan understands the symbolic importance of supporting Harry’s work with Invictus in Britain.

A source said: “Meghan fully understands the importance of Invictus to Harry and wants to be by his side. At the same time, the emotional weight of returning to an environment she associates with intense hostility makes the decision incredibly difficult for her to face.”
