Meghan Markle allegedly fears taking another trip to England as it "pulls at Prince Harry's heartstrings." It was previously reported that Queen Elizabeth had invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their two children to visit her at her retreat home in Scotland.

The invitation was a "bittersweet" one for Meghan, who is afraid that her husband might want to return to his home country for good, an insider told OK! Magazine.

"On one hand it fuels her and Harry's confidence that they are very much still part of the family. But after so much time away, Meghan fears Harry will be lured back into the fold and want to return to the U.K.," the source told the outlet.

"Meghan doesn't doubt that Harry is committed to spending the rest of his life in America, but does have certain trepidation over how these types of visits can pull at his heartstrings. She's been aware of Harry's homesickness for some time," the insider added.

The insider also said Meghan sees how excited Prince Harry is to talk about his English roots to their children, Archie and Lili. "She can see just how excited he is to show more of his heritage to their children, without the attention and security fears that surrounded them in London. It goes without saying he wants to spend as much time with his grandmother while he still can."

Queen Elizabeth's health has been deteriorating over the past year. According to the source, this is why Prince Harry may not be able to resist the monarch's invitation for them to visit her in Scotland.

"This offer is a big deal to him and it's one he's going to take up with open arms," the insider continued. "It'll be such a treat to spend precious time with the Queen, and Harry would love to enjoy a pint in a British pub and spend time with his family in the countryside. He's really missed it."

Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down from their roles as senior royals in 2020 and moved to North America for good. The couple is currently residing with their two children in a mansion in Montecito, California.
