THE Sussexes are set to miss seeing the Queen during their visit to the UK this September unless a key security issue can be resolved.
According to the Telegraph, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will snub Her Majesty's invite to Balmoral during their trip to the UK on September 5.
The report claims the couple are yet to be notified of their security situation, as the Home Office debates whether they qualify for Met protection.
The Duke of Sussex is currently embroiled in a long-running security dispute with the British government, with the royal claiming his family require Met protection.
The Queen was originally expected to return to London in September in order to see in the new PM, but reports now suggest she will stay at her beloved Balmoral estate.
During their time in the UK, Harry and Meghan will visit a youth summit in Manchester and the WellChild Awards for sick children.
It remains unknown if the Duke will see his brother, Prince William, or his father the Prince of Wales while in the UK.

Comment: Meghan Markle can be economical with the truth – so long as her and Harry aren’t blamed for anything
This is a comment piece by royal expert INGRID SEWARD
MEGHAN is economical with the truth when it suits her.
It appears to me that neither she nor Harry are prepared to accept the blame for anything.
Harry sees his father as much as someone who lives 5,000 miles away sees their father.
I don’t think he sees him for very long when he does because his father is a very busy man.
But Prince Charles, left with Harry, will always be there for him.
If Harry and Meghan wanted to visit the Queen, Charles, or Prince William, they could easily make time.
There are no similarities at all between the situation with Meghan and Thomas Markle and Prince Harry and Prince Charles.
It’s obvious she never understood Prince Philip’s dictum that it is not a popularity contest but it’s about working together for the good of the monarchy.

Meghan and Harry have set up a ‘rebel brand’, commentator claims
Harry and Meghan’s rejection of the Royal Family may help their popularity, in the long run, one royal author has suggested.
Professor MacLaran told the Express: “It is certainly damaging to their brand to be pushed aside by the royals although it does presently set them up as a rebel brand with good potential to appeal to Millennials with their alternative visions of how to do royalty and humanitarian work.
“In this respect, Harry and Meghan do appear to aim for a global reach.”
This “rebel brand” could help the Sussexes in their attempts to court the Millennial and Gen Z demographics, MacLaran claims.

William and Harry won’t reconcile until explosive memoir is released, expert claims
BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond has said the two brothers will not reconcile until Prince Harry’s explosive memoir is out in the open.
She told GB News: “The fact that [Harry] is going to bring out his memoir shortly, we believe, it is hanging like a sword of Damocles over the whole family and stopping the two brothers from interacting in any meaningful way or indeed at all.”
The Duke’s memoir was set to release this October, but reports suggest it may have been delayed.

Meghan teases subject of new Netflix documentary
Meghan Markle has hinted her new Netflix documentary will reveal a part of her life she’s “never been able to share” before.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been working on their docuseries for Netflix as part of their multi-million pound deal.
The streaming giant is reportedly in plans to release the series later this year, in line with Harry’s upcoming book.
Reports previously suggested the project would take form in an “at home with the Sussexes”-style docuseries – although Meghan and Harry have both smashed rumours of a reality show.
Speaking to The Cut’s Allison Davis, Meghan also insisted there is a difference between a historical documentary and a reality docuseries.
When asked about the project, she told the journalist: “The piece of my life I haven’t been able to share, that people haven’t been able to see, is our love story.
“I hope that is the sentiment that people feel when they see any of the content or the projects that we are working on.”
When asked whether she and Harry are filming a documentary about their love story, Meghan replied: “What’s so funny is I’m not trying to be cagey.
“I don’t read any press. So I don’t know what’s confirmed. I will tell you Liz Garbus is incredible. Liz Garbus also worked on Pearl.”

Sussexes UK visit ‘commercially driven’
COURTIERS suspect that the upcoming Sussex visit is “commercially driven” as interest in them is “decreasing”.
A royal commentator has claimed palace aides and courtiers suspect Prince Harry and Meghan have an ulterior motive to their UK visit.
Their One Young World summit will kick off on 5 September in Manchester, with tickets costing a shocking £3,150 for delegates.
“Why are Harry and Meghan so keen to return to the UK not long after their last disastrous visit?” Dan Wootton wrote for the Mail Online.
He continued: “The answer, courtiers suspect, is likely to be at least in part, commercially driven.
“Much to their horror, the Sussexes are discovering that the US interest in them is decreasing, as their proximity to the Royal Family and Britain grows ever more distant.”
Despite Mr Wootton’s claims, Meghan’s Archetype’s podcast stole the Spotify top spot in the UK and the US, after releasing just one episode.

Harry takes swipe at royals
Prince Harry has taken another swipe at the royals – claiming some members of his family “aren’t able to work and live together”.
The Duke of Sussex dished his latest blow as he gushed about work with Meghan Markle in a new bombshell interview out today.
Harry and Meghan run their Archewell business together from their shared office at home in Montecito, California.
The duke said the process comes naturally to them both – but suggested the same is not the case for all his relatives.
Speaking to The Cut – part of a New York magazine – Harry said: “Most people that I know and many of my family, they aren’t able to work and live together.
“It’s actually really weird because it’d seem like a lot of pressure. But it just feels natural and normal.”
The duke made the comments as he briefly joined wife Meghan for an interview with The Cut’s Allison Davis.
Speaking of the chat, which took place at the couple’s $14million mansion, Davis said Harry enunciated the word family “with a vocal eye roll” before stressing he and Meghan always knew this time of their life would be busy.

I own the limo Princess Diana died in but French cops won’t hand it over
THE owner of the car Princess Diana died in wants authorities in France to hand it over – insisting it is legally his.
Jean-Francois Musa, 63, ran Etoile Limousines at the time of Diana's tragic death in 1997.
Diana, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul died when the company's Mercedes S-280 smashed into a Paris tunnel pillar.
Years ago, Scotland Yard announced it would destroy the wrecked car – but its fate became a mystery after French authorities demanded it back.
Mr Musa, who owns the vehicle, has not been told where it is now.
Experts, however, believe the wreck could be worth up to £10million, The Mirror reports.
Speaking from his holiday home in Normandy ahead of the 25th anniversary of Diana’s death, Mr Musa told the publication: “I have no idea where the car is.
"All I know is it is legally mine and obviously I want it back.
"It should have been returned by now but that hasn’t proved possible."

Piers Morgan blasts ‘revolting’ Meghan Markle
Piers Morgan today slammed Meghan Markle as "shameless and shameful" after she launched into a fresh attack on the royals.
The Duchess of Sussex claimed "just by existing" she was "upsetting" the royal family as she gave another bombshell interview.
Meghan, 41, also told US magazine The Cut she was told exactly what to say and do and accused Prince Harry's family of treating her differently.

Piers has now blasted the former actress for her sensational comments.
The TalkTV host said: "Even by Markle standards, this is a revoltingly self-aggrandising, disingenuous & hypocritical load of royal-bashing tosh.
"The Mandela anecdote alone had me gagging.
"How dare she use her title to keep trashing the institution that gave it to her? Shameless & shameful."

Andrew's daughters attempt to get their dad on royal duties
PRINCE Andrew's daughters have reportedly rallied Prince Charles, to convince him to let their father return to Royal duties.
The Duke of York was fired by the Queen after his awkward Newsnight interview with the BBC.
In the shocking 2019 interview he fumbled whilst being questioned over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein.
He has since made very rare public appearances after paying out a significant sum Virginia Giuffre who took him to court over sexual abuse claims.
The sisters Princess Eugenie and Beatrice pleaded with Prince Charles to forgive their father, and give him a new role in the family.
The Sun reported that after their summit with Prince Charles, there has been "no change" and the family take a firm stance that he cannot return.
Reportedly, Prince Andrew held talks with the Queen earlier this month, which came to no avail.
