Meghan Markle is reportedly taking a firm stance on the terms under which her children, Archie and Lilibet, will meet their grandfather, King Charles.
According to sources, the Duchess of Sussex has laid out a major condition for any potential visit: secure and reliable protection for her kids.
Reports from The Hollywood Gossip, citing information from GB News, reveal that Meghan is not willing to bring Archie and Lilibet anywhere near Buckingham Palace unless King Charles agrees to ensure their safety with proper security measures.
The condition appears to be non-negotiable, setting the stage for a continued standoff between the Sussexes and the British royal family over this pressing issue.
“Now, if it is deemed safe from a security standpoint, it’s likely she’ll give her blessing for Harry to take Archie and Lilibet to see their grandpa, King Charles, at some point,” an insider shared.
Meghan’s concern for her children’s security is clear, especially given the heightened public interest in their lives and the challenges the Sussexes have faced since stepping back from royal duties.
Additionally, the insider explained that Meghan’s recent real estate moves could potentially make family visits more manageable.
With reports of the Sussexes’ newly purchased property in Portugal, travel logistics might be less complex, allowing Meghan to bring the children closer to King Charles without feeling confined within royal properties.
The debate over security has reportedly been a point of tension for years. The couple has previously expressed concern over the lack of guaranteed protection, a factor that has influenced many of their decisions post-Megxit.
However, sources claim that King Charles remains steadfast, allegedly reluctant to meet Meghan’s conditions.

“For Meghan, security is an absolute necessity. Without it, Archie and Lilibet might as well be a world away from the royal family,” the insider continued.
This lingering issue, which Meghan considers essential, has kept Archie and Lilibet from fully connecting with their royal heritage.
Some royal insiders believe King Charles might have reservations about offering security outside of the formal royal duties structure.
However, others argue that this security measure should be extended to ensure a safe environment for his young grandchildren during family visits.
The insider suggests that Meghan’s condition reflects her continued commitment to her children’s well-being and safety.
For now, without a clear agreement on this critical issue, Archie and Lilibet’s potential visit to see King Charles hangs in the balance.
