Dust off your fascinators, Britain, because Meghan Markle might be hopping back across the pond! According to buzz making the royal rounds, the Duchess of Sussex is allegedly quietly planning a return to the UK this July alongside Prince Harry, and it would mark her first visit in four long years. Gasp! Clutch the pearls! Related: Book Claims Harry 'Swore' At Charles & 'Demanded Funds' - And The Monarch Said THIS! The reason for the potential reunion tour? Why, the Invictus Games, of course. Meghan is reportedly hoping to join Harry in Birmingham on July 10 for a one-year countdown celebration tied to the 2027 Invictus Games, which is Harry's passion project for wounded service members. But before anyone gets ahead of themselves and starts speculating about balcony appearances or awkward family run-ins, there's a massive catch: security. Always security. And without that green light, this trip is a no-go. A source close to the situation summed it up bluntly to The Sun on Sunday, saying: "Security is always going to be the deciding factor in this." Can't be said more clearly than that, can it?! That decision is expected sometime this month, and insiders say travel plans are very much in motion - but only if the powers that be cooperate. And as Perezcious readers will recall, Harry has been vocal about feeling unsafe bringing his family back to Britain, especially after losing his automatic right to protection when he and Meghan stepped down as working royals in 2020. If Meghan does return, it would be her first time on UK soil since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2022. As for whether Archie and Lilibet would come along, well, that's still unclear. The kids haven't been back since 2022, either, and Meghan has been open about struggling with long separations from them, even going so far as to admit on her Netflix series that being away nearly three weeks left her feeling unwell.

Before that, expect a flurry of Invictus-related promo events this summer - perhaps with Meghan front and center if security gods smile upon them! So is this a tentative royal homecoming or just another almost? Stay tuned! Because you know this story is FAR from over!
