When Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, disembark in Britain on Wednesday, with their children Archie and Lilibet and their special forces wardens, they will face to war with the British tabloids. They will receive them with hostility after two years of trials and clashes in the courts for disinformation and abuse of privacy and negative investigations into their representativeness in the kingdom.
The Sussexes are paying the price for their Californian exile, the accusations of racism against the royal family, the confrontation with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the campaign by British tabloids and journalist Pier Morgan against them. most of the British they inform themselves through the “yellow press” and form their opinion.

Arrival in London
The Sussexes will arrive in Britain on Wednesday, but it is not known if they will be on a private or scheduled plane or at what time. They will stay in their home at Frogmore Cottage, a 10-minute walk from Queen Elizabeth’s palace, where they renewed the lease. An indication that they will travel to Britain more often.
Windsor is under surveillance 24 hours from security cameras and armed police personnel. Harry asked for absolute security for his family to come their keepers cannot enter Britain with weapons.
They will be protected by the British police during their stay at the Jubilee as guests of the queen. But it will not have the same level of protection if they visit their friends, they go to a restaurant or a pub.
In California, the Sussexes did it a protection team of 12 men, 24 hours a daywho were special forces members and former custodians of Barack Obama and Michael Jackson.
Their first outing will be as a VIP on Thursday at the Trooping the Color ceremony, the ruler’s official birthday. But They won’t be on the balcony.
It will be Meghan’s first time seeing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in person since the couple’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they accused the family of racism. There the Duchess of Sussex claimed that the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry while trying on her bridesmaids’ dress, ahead of the Sussex wedding in 2018.

It is believed that it will be at the thanksgiving ceremony in St Paul’s Cathedral when the whole royal family is reunited. Harry and his brother William resumed their bond with long conversations, where their wives do not intervene.
Saturday will be held Lilibet’s birthdaydaughter of Meghan and Harry, who bears the moniker of the sovereign.
That day the queen he will meet her and spend his birthday with her. It is unknown if the rest of the royal family will come to Frogmore Cottage for the little party and if the cousins will finally meet the Californian baby and Archie, whom they have never seen. But reconciliation in the dysfunctional Windsor House is on the way.
