Meghan Markle has no communication with Queen Camilla and King Charles amid Prince Harry's upcoming legal battles.

Prince Harry is engaged in an ongoing legal battle with the Home Office over his security arrangements in the UK.


The Duke of Sussex is challenging a decision made by Ravec, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, which determines security provisions for the Royal Family and VIPs.

The case presents a particularly complex situation, as the royal household holds representation on the committee that made the original security decision.

Harry's unprecedented move to challenge the UK Government in the courts has become a significant point of contention.

The ongoing legal case has created a significant barrier to communication between King Charles and his son.

With Harry being granted leave to appeal, the King reportedly feels constrained in what he can say to his son until the case concludes.

The situation extends beyond father and son, as there is currently "no communication" between the King and Queen with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, The Times reports.

Prince Harry is also pursuing two separate legal cases in the UK against the publishers of tabloid newspapers.

The royal could face up to four days of questioning in the witness box as his court case against News Group Newspapers (NGN) heads to an eight-week trial next month.

The trial will see Harry and former Labour Party deputy leader Tom Watson as the main litigants, after around 40 other claimants reached settlements with NGN.

The lawsuit centres on alleged unlawful activities carried out by journalists and private investigators working for NGN's publications, The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World.

The alleged misconduct occurred between 1996 and 2011, according to court documents.

Speaking at the New York Times Dealbook Summit earlier this month, Prince Harry explained his motivation for the legal action, stating: "I think one of the reasons why I brought the claim ... is specifically for truth and accountability."

The media group has previously settled claims with more than 1,300 people over unlawful information gathering by the News of the World.

These settlements have amounted to hundreds of millions of pounds paid to victims of phone-hacking and other illegal activities.

Beyond the NGN litigation, Prince Harry is also pursuing legal action against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail.

That case, which includes fellow claimant Elton John and five others, is scheduled for trial in January 2026.
