However, the Duke of Sussex feels it is too dangerous to travel to the UK with the current level of security that he receives in the country of his birth.

The Duke of Sussex chose to miss the Duke of Westminster's wedding in June 2024 to avoid an awkward meeting with his brother.
The Prince of Wales was an usher at the wedding and has a close bond with the Duke of Westminster.

The most recent digs came in the Duke of Sussex's autobiography Spare, which was published in January 2023.

Princess Kate will travel with Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to Balmoral this summer.
Members of the monarchy have an annual summer break at the Scottish estate in line with the Royal family’s custom.
King Charles has continued the tradition with the Waleses, Edinburghs and Yorks all expected to attend this summer but the Sussexes have not been invited.
The source said: "Kate and William have put a self-imposed ban on anything Meghan and Harry-related, as they take time out to enjoy some much-needed respite and family time this summer.
"Kate’s still very much focussing on her healing, and they decided to create a firm boundary to protect her from all the stress and upset Harry and Meghan create."
