Overview
- Meghan Markle posted a black-and-white clip of her and Prince Harry dancing, crediting 4-year-old Princess Lilibet as videographer, alongside a 2016 Botswana throwback that taps a viral nostalgia trend.
- Prince Harry is expected in London next week to give evidence in the High Court case against Associated Newspapers Limited, with proceedings reportedly set to begin around January 19.
- Any broader UK visit by the Sussexes and their children remains tied to a pending decision on whether taxpayer-funded armed police protection will be restored, after Harry previously lost a legal challenge on security.
- Fresh YouGov polling released on January 16 shows Meghan’s UK favourability at a record low 19%, with 66% viewing her negatively.
- Allegations of ‘diva-like’ demands for a UK trip were strongly denied by a source close to the couple, and separate claims of an establishment ‘Project Thaw’ to warm relations were reported by the Daily Mail.
