With the 2027 Invictus Games set to take place in Birmingham in 2027, many have wondered whether it will see Meghan Markle accompany her husband to the UK for an event – but one royal expert believes she has made her feelings on visiting the UK very clear already

Meghan Markle made a telling move that made her feelings about visiting the UK very ‘obvious’, according to a royal expert.

The Duchess of Sussex has made very few trips to Britain since she and Prince Harry sensationally quit as working royals and moved to the US and was last seen publicly in the UK at the late Queen’s funeral in 2022. Since that time, Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the rest of the Royal Family has become increasingly strained in the wake of the criticism they levelled at King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales in their Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir Spare.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Birmingham has won the bid to host Invictus Games – the sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans – in 2027. It will be the second time that the Games will be held in the UK after the inaugural event took place in London in 2014.

As founder of the Games, it is more than likely that Harry will travel to the UK for the event in 2027. And since he started dating Meghan in 2017 she too has joined him at every event, with their Invictus Games appearances some of their most high-profile as a couple.

However, it raises the question if Meghan will attend given she has mainly stayed away from the country. Speaking to OK!, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said: “An awful lot can happen in three years. An Invictus Games without Harry is unthinkable and I am sure he will be there.

But it would be extremely telling if his wife decided not to attend the games in Birmingham…. especially as it will be exactly ten years since she was introduced to the world as Harry’s girlfriend at the Toronto Games.
