Meghan Markle has suffered a fresh blow ahead of Prince Harry’s return to the UK this week.
The Duke of Sussex will fly to London this week to attend an Invictus event at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Harry will give a reading to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
The King’s youngest son founded the sporting competition in 2014 when he was a working member of the Royal Family.

No senior members of the Royal Family are expected to attend the ceremony on Wednesday.
Sources close to Meghan have confirmed she will remain in the US with the couple’s two young children Archie and Lilibet rather than joining her husband at the event.
The Duchess of Sussex has not visited the UK since September 2022 despite Harry making multiple trips to London over the last 18 months.
Meghan chose not to attend the King’s Coronation in May 2023 with reports claiming the former US actress feared her unpopularity would lead to her receiving boos from the public during the historic event.

A Palace source told the Telegraph regarding the results: “While, as ever, their commitment to service is not driven by the ups and downs of polling, I know both Their Majesties have been buoyed and encouraged by the warmth and support they have received from the public in the past challenging months, of which this is further evidence.”
The most unpopular member of the Royal Family remains Prince Andrew with an approval rating of 12 per cent but this was a one per cent increase on his rating of 11 per cent in 2023.
2,116 adults took part in the poll conducted by Ipsos for the Mail.
