The threat is from lunatics, radical protesters that might want to make a name for themselves by jumping in front of them. Then of course you have the worst type, the terrorist threat. And there&#8217;s no doubt Harry \u2013 and his family, as a result \u2013 is a huge target.&#8221;, reports <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/3am\/celebrity-news\/meghan-terrified-harrys-decision-over-35424943\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Meghan, 43, seems to be growing more at ease with sharing her children&#8217;s lives publicly \u2013 as evidenced by her viral Baby Momma dance video and a Disneyland holiday album posted on her social media. However, the prospect of her returning to the UK with them is another story.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_Charles-And-William-And-Harry.jpg\" alt=\"Prince Harry, King Charles and Prince William\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>The rift widens(Image: Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">A source told the Mirror that despite feeling more empowered these days, Meghan&#8217;s concerns about safety remain unchanged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;In some ways she&#8217;s feeling stronger and she wants to share that,&#8221; our insider revealed. &#8220;But she&#8217;s still terrified of putting her kids at risk by coming back to the UK \u2013 any parent would panic if they were in Meghan&#8217;s shoes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;So even though Harry is really missing his dad, especially after Trooping the Colour and Father&#8217;s Day, the security issues will probably always be a concern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;He knows that things could&#8217;ve been so different if circumstances had unfolded differently, but it&#8217;s been five years since they left the UK and the chances of them returning, even for a visit, seem slim to none. It&#8217;s heartbreaking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/newsletter-preference-centre\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"newslettersLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">newsletters<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle is said to be &#8216;terrified&#8217; of making a return to the UK with her two young&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[192,7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,1413,447,1412,4575,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-203304","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-bbc","9":"tag-british-royal-family","10":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","11":"tag-duke-of-sussex","12":"tag-harry","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-met-police","16":"tag-prince-harry","17":"tag-princess-diana","18":"tag-queen","19":"tag-royal-families","20":"tag-royal-family","21":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114723072674929106","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
