Meghan’s appearance comes during a difficult time for the royal family, as King Charles was diagnosed with cancer while Kate, the wife of William, Harry’s older brother, is recovering from surgery.
Earlier last month, Prince Harry lost his legal appeal against the British government’s decision to lift police protection for him while he was in Britain.
Harry stayed, Youngest son of King Charlesfiled a lawsuit against the government in the Supreme Court in London, after the Ministry of the Interior decided in February 2020 to stop providing him with personal security guards during his stay in Britain.
Harry, along with other senior members of the royal family, received full security protection funded from the state’s general budget before he stepped down from his royal duties and moved to California with his American wife, Meghan, in March 2020.
After obtaining permission for a judicial review of that decision, his lawyers said at a hearing in December that withdrawing protection exposed him to unlawful, unfair and unjustified treatment.
