Heartwarming Valentine’s Day Surprise: Meghan Captures Prince Harry’s Sweet Moment with Lilibet

Meghan Markle has expressed her affection for Prince Harry and their children with a heartfelt Valentine’s Day tribute, calling them her “forever Valentines.”

The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share a touching image of their daughter, Lilibet, who is four, cuddling her father while holding a bunch of red balloons. The scene captures the Duke of Sussex, 41, gazing lovingly at their little girl as they bask in the California sunshine.

This public display of familial love comes amid news that Meghan is considering a visit to the UK this summer, marking her first return in four years. However, reports indicate that she will only make the journey if adequate security measures are ensured for both her and Prince Harry.

The As Ever mogul captioned the picture: ‘These two + Archie = my forever Valentines’, in a loving nod to her seven-year-old, who did not feature in the snap. 

It comes after reports emerged suggesting Meghan is planning a return to British soil this summer for the first time in four years.  

However, it is said she will only set foot on the island if security arrangements are put in place for her and Prince Harry. 

It is believed the 44-year-old will join her husband at the upcoming Invictus Games one-year countdown in Birmingham on July 10, ahead of next year’s event. 

She has attended similar ceremonies in both Canada and Germany, and sources say she is keen to do the same in the UK, provided safety concerns are handled. 

Meanwhile, talks over whether the Sussexes will receive taxpayer-funded protection during the visit remain ongoing.

In December, Prince Harry was said to be thrilled the Home Office was reviewing his security provisions in the UK amid a long-running legal battle. 

Of Meghan’s potential British visit this summer, a source told The Sun: ‘Security is always going to be the deciding factor in this.’ 

The Invictus Games were founded by Harry to support wounded and injured service personnel and veterans.

And although official details of the Birmingham countdown celebrations have yet to be confirmed, ceremonial appearances involving the Sussexes are expected.

It would mark Meghan’s first trip back to Britain since September 2022, when she attended Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. 

Harry’s security arrangements are currently being reviewed by Ravec, a committee made up of police, royal and government experts. 

The Duke has repeatedly said he does not believe it is safe to bring his family to the UK without adequate protection.

Plans are reportedly well advanced for Meghan to travel to the Midlands to support the event, but only if the review concludes in their favour. A decision is expected later this month.

It remains unclear whether the couple’s children would accompany them. Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, have not been in the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022, when there were scattered boos as Meghan arrived for a service at St Paul’s Cathedral.

The Invictus Games Foundation is preparing a series of promotional events in Birmingham this summer, with invitations already sent to representatives of countries expected to compete.

Meghan has previously been a regular presence at such events. In February 2024, she joined Harry in Vancouver and Whistler to promote the following year’s Games, meeting competitors and attending training sessions, before returning for the Games themselves 12 months later.

She also attended the one-year countdown ceremony in Düsseldorf in September 2022, just days before the death of Queen Elizabeth II, while the couple were staying in Windsor.
