Prince Harry says he is still trying to bring his family to Britain next week, despite concerns of a "frenzy" as paparazzi attempt to snap rare photographs of his children.The Duke of Sussex, his wife Meghan, and their two children had planned to travel to the United Kingdom together for the first time in four years, but are reconsidering the trip amid security concerns.Their request for taxpayer-funded police protection was rejected by British authorities, although a representative of the Sussex family said the prince "continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK".Prince Harry, Meghan, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, four, live in California. They have been offered accommodation on a royal estate during the visit, which comes with existing security. However, the issue is how to protect the family when they go elsewhere."I think there's going to be a huge anticipation to see Harry and Meghan, especially Meghan, back on British soil with the children," royal commentator Afua Hagan told the ABC."There will be a frenzy of: Where are they landing? Where are they going first? Where are the staying? What will they be doing while they're here?"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex survey Bondi Beach during their visit earlier this year.

(ABC News: Alex Parsons)Speculation is growing among the British media about whether the Sussexes will meet with estranged relatives on this visit. Tabloid hate and online disinformation about Meghan, including some pitting her against her sister-in-law, is also increasing.Royal author Catherine Mayer told the ABC that as she researched her latest book, Divide & Rule, about royal women, she discovered a wide "disinformation campaign" about both women."What is happening there is not that these are people who are trying to attack those women specifically, but they're using the heat around them, the debate, their real fans pitted against each other, to destroy or undermine people's sense of what's true," Ms Mayer said."There's all sorts of deep fake material out there, particularly on TikTok, but on other platforms."There are state actors like China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, who are involved in these campaigns using troll farms."Ms Hagan said she hoped as Meghan prepared to return to the UK, she could block out the hate."There has been really unnecessary visceral hatred directed at Megan, so I hope that she [has] just got the blinkers on and that she doesn't let the relentless, and they will be relentless, headlines get to her," Ms Hagan said.
