Meghan 'terrified' as Harry's decision over UK return 'sealed'
Threats from 'lunatics' and 'terrorists' will stop Harry and Meghan coming back to the UK, an expert says, but the Duke would have missed his dad on Father's Day The growing distance between Prince Harry and the royal family was highlighted once again at the King's recent birthday celebrations, where the Duke of Sussex was notably absent. At Trooping the Colour – which marks the monarch's official birthday – King Charles celebrated alongside his close family, including wife Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, George, Charlotte and Louis. Sadly, Harry and his family were nowhere to be seen. Following his High Court defeat in May, the Duke of Sussex, 40, revealed that he was hopeful of a reconciliation with his father, but said that wouldn't be possible until he could keep his wife and children 'safe' while in the UK. Now, a royal expert says the chances of Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, becoming regular visitors to the UK and growing close to their cousins is looking increasingly unlikely because of Harry and his wife Meghan Markle 's very valid fears. 'Meghan understandably feels scared about coming to the UK with the children,' says former royal editor Duncan Larcombe. 'The threats are real and genuine. 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's no doubt Harry – and his family, as a result – is a huge target.' While Meghan, 43, appears to be feeling more comfortable sharing her children with the world – with her viral Baby Momma dance video and a Disneyland holiday album posted to her socials – the idea of her returning to the UK with them is another matter. A source has told the Mirror that while the mum-of-two is feeling more empowered today, it doesn't alter her safety worries. 'In some ways she's feeling stronger and she wants to share that,' our insider said. 'But she's still terrified of putting her kids at risk by coming back to the UK – any parent would panic if they were in Meghan's shoes. 'So even though Harry is really feeling the absence of his dad, especially after Trooping the Colour and Father's Day, the security stuff will probably always be an issue. 'He knows that things could've been so different if things had gone another way, but it's been five years since they left the UK and the chances of them coming back, even for a visit, seem slim to none. It's heartbreaking.' During his controversial interview with the BBC in May, Harry revealed he 'would love reconciliation' with his family. And our expert believes it's highly likely the Prince now wishes recent events had taken a different course. 'Harry is a sensitive soul and always wore his heart on his sleeve, so whether he'd admit it publicly or not, I'm sure he's full of regrets and wishes he'd done things differently,' says Duncan. With Trooping the Colour and Father's Day falling on the same weekend, it was bound to make him look back at the happy relationships he once had with his brother and dad, and I'm sure he'd love to be able to rebuild those.' Last month, Harry lost his bid to overturn the decision to deny him and his family state-funded, high level security provided for senior royals while in the UK. As a result, he said he 'couldn't see a world' in which he would be able to bring Meghan and the children back to his homeland. Duncan says the death of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, likely weighs heavily on the couple when it comes to their protection, as the absence of official Metropolitan Police protection was a 'contributing factor' in the accident that took her life. But he stresses that whether the couple are 'liked' or not is irrelevant to their safety. The key distinction, he says, is the difference between official royal security and private protection, which could mean the difference between life and death. Official royal security gives royals round-the-clock, armed protection from top Met Police officers and allows MI5 to 'surround them in a ring' of top-level intelligence. Given Meghan's understandable need to protect her children, Duncan suspects it would be very difficult for the family to feel safe without those measures in place. 'At big royal events, the security you actually see is the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of undercover officers and agents working, too,' he says. 'Without the official support and security, Harry and Meghan are left with two or three bodyguards who are pretty blind to what the potential threats are.'

Taking to X, the Royal Family shared a snap of a smiling Harry to mark his 40th birthday. The message, complete with a cake emoji, said: 'Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!' Meanwhile, William and Kate's X account shared an almost identical message. It read: 'Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!'

Video games are great for my mental and physical wellbeing - Reader's Feature
A reader breaks down the Switch 2 launch line-up and lists the mistakes he feels Nintendo has made, from the marketing to the prices. Video gaming has often been criticised in the media, with some attributing it to the escalation of violence and gun-related crimes. Whilst it is an easy target, I want to talk about how gaming's mental health effects are positive in many more ways than they are negative. In 2014, I was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. Basically, I have severe mood swings – from deep depression, where just getting out of bed is impossible, to extreme highs where I think I can be Super Mario and take on anything! One hobby that makes a positive difference to me is video games. Gaming has been a huge part of my life and I have just picked up the Switch 2. I also play Xbox, Apple Arcade and retro games that take me back in time to my formative and happy gaming journey. My love of Nintendo, in particular, is one that has really helped me to remain stable. Just booting up my original Nintendo Switch, and now its successor, I get a feeling of happiness and contentment as I see the Nintendo logo once more. Familiarity is important to human beings. It is about a connection. It helps us to feel safe when we recognise something that we have grown to trust. Keeping my mind active is important to my wellbeing. Games such as Brain Training, for example, have kept my mind focused with memory games being a positive force in keeping cognitive skills strong. Mario Kart World delights and excites me and makes my brain release serotonin that is important for a healthy mind. The colours, the music, the ease of play are all conducive to positive mental health. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. The introduction of GameChat has allowed me to catch up with old friends and laugh out loud together, as we battle it out in knockout games for hours on end. Laughter is such a positive release for us all, and it always makes me feel so much better. Then there are fitness games such as Ring Fit Adventure, where you can game and keep fit at the same time! Exercise is vital for physical and mental wellbeing and added to a hobby such as video gaming you can only benefit from the best of all worlds. First person shooters such as Doom Eternal help me because I can let off steam. I don't play Doom and suddenly think I must go out shooting things. It is a safe way to release tension and frustrations. I do not see the connection between that escapism and wanting to make it a reality. If I did, then if I ever reach the day where I start wanting to be a plumber and jump on squirrels in the park, I know it's the day my gaming has gone too far, and I stop playing Super Mario Bros.! Video games help educate, instruct, develop, and entertain. All of these things are vital for our mental and physical wellbeing and that applies to all ages. I am 47 years old and feel the same emotions as I did when I was just eight years old. From the moment I started gaming I can only say that it has been good for my mental health and I remain, and always will remain, grateful for that. I absolutely recommend gaming as an important tool for mental health wellbeing and recovery. More Trending Whilst it may still receive unwanted and often unwarranted attention, gaming isn't the force for bad that some would have us believe and I can only hope, that by sharing my experiences, that others will also come out and support gaming as a real force for good, now and in the future.
