Prince Harry is “right” to be coming to the UK solo without his wife, Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, a new poll has shown. The Duke of Sussex has decided that it is not safe for his family to join him when he travels to London next week. It is still unclear whether the family will join him at other parts of the UK during his five-day visit.

A poll conducted by the Daily Express asked readers whether the duke’s decision to fly solo to London was the “right” one. Of the 2.884 people polled between Saturday, July 4 2.30pm, until Sunday, July 5, 7am, seven out of ten (1.988) said it was the right choice. Nearly three out of 10 (768) said it was the wrong one, while 128 voted for “I don’t know”. The duke’s trip to the UK is set to begin early next week.

Meghan Markle just got ridiculed for an old video - Princess Kate fans never forget

COMMENT: "When Prince William and Prince Harry both fell in love it was inevitable their other halves would start being compared to one another. Two princes fell for non-royal young women of the exact same age - so fans love to ponder, 'Who has risen to the royal role the best?' It's a basic human response.

"When Meghan arrived into the embrace of the Royal Family, clearly she would have been watching Catherine and seeing how she held herself together - and tried to copy her. It's natural.

"So when the Princess of Wales recently completed the 23-mile Three Peaks Challenge in less than 24 hours to raise funds for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, it does not take a rocket scientist to realise someone would dig around to see if Meghan - who is the same age at 44 - has done a similary grelling task.

"And boy did they hit the jackpot!"

COMMENT: "Work, bowls, sleep, repeat. That is the story of my life at the moment.

"With the Royal Family keeping me busy reporting on their engagements up and down the country at the moment, my work diary is filled to the brim.

"Add my bowls schedule on top and there is very little breathing space."
