Meghan Markle will not join Prince Harry when he returns to the UK for the first time since February as insiders say she faces the prospect of being booed.

The Duke of Sussex is visiting his homeland to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games Foundation – the international sporting charity he co-founded in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel.

Harry will give a reading during a St. Paul’s Cathedral service on May 8 and actor Damian Lewis will recite a poem.

It is his first return to England since February when he met with King Charles III following his shock cancer diagnosis.

The Duchess of Sussex will instead meet up with Harry in Nigeria where the pair are undertaking an official visit.

Royal insiders told Newsnation: “Meghan is very unpopular in the UK and she would likely be booed.”

The Sussexes were invited to Nigeria by the west African country’s chief of defence — the nation’s highest ranking military official.

Harry co-founded the multi-sport Invictus Games to offer wounded veterans an Olympics-style sporting challenge.

Brig. Gen. Tukur Gusau, a spokesperson for Nigeria’s military, said their trip to Africa will “consolidate Nigeria’s stronghold at the games and the possibility of hosting the event in later years”.

In February, Harry, 39, revealed he immediately jumped on a plane when the King, 75, phoned him to say he had cancer.

“I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could,” Harry told Good Morning America.

“I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go see and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.’”

Harry arrived from California less than 48 hours after Buckingham Palace announced on February 5 that the King had cancer and had begun treatment.

Buckingham Palace has not revealed the type of cancer Charles has, saying only that it was discovered during a treatment for an enlarged prostate but isn’t prostate cancer.
