The Duke of Sussex reportedly fears bringing his two young children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK amid his ongoing legal concerns.
Harry, 39, is continuing to fight for taxpayer-funding security when he does visit the UK, despite no longer being a working royal.
GB News’s royal correspondent Cameron Walker said: “He doesn’t feel his family is safe when they’re in the UK because they do not have police protection officers with the Metropolitan Police with him.
“So perhaps that is the main reason why Prince Harry isn’t bringing Meghan and Archie and Lilibet over to the UK because he can’t guarantee, he would say he can’t guarantee their safety.”
It comes as Princess Anne was forced to cancel her visit to Canada tomorrow after she sustained a concussion after being kicked by a horse on her Gloucestershire estate.
The Princess Royal, 73, was due to make the trip overseas to mark the 100th anniversary of the National War Memorial in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
However, following her concussion and minor injuries, she was hospitalised in Bristol for five nights, but has since returned home.

Wimbledon officials ‘hopeful’ of Kate Middleton appearance
Wimbledon officials have said they are “hopeful” of a potential appearance from the Princess of Wales at next month’s tournament.
Kate, 42, is the chair of the All England Club and typically presents trophies at the prestigious tennis event.
As she made her return to public life earlier this month, the princess, who is battling cancer, said she hopes to attend “a few public engagements over the summer.”
Club Chair Debbie Jevans told Telegraph Sport: “We’re hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club’s patron, but her health and recovery is the priority. We don’t know what we don’t know. All we’ve said is that we’ll work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.
“I don’t know who would present the trophies as an alternative – that’s something to consider nearer the time if necessary. We’re staying flexible. ‘When we hear we’ll then think about what’s the right thing to do.”
King Charles makes Pokemon reference during Japanese state banquet speech
King Charles III made a Pokemon reference during a state banquet held in honour of the visiting emperor and empress of Japan.
The close bond between the two nations was praised by the King in a speech, with Charles telling Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako their “shared values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law” were more important than ever.
He also joked that he hasn’t had “any better luck” with more recent attempts at fishing - referencing the time they spent fly fishing when they were younger.
“The Pokemon phrase ‘gotta catch ’em all’ may resonate with my grandchildren, but for me it is, perhaps, aspirational,” Charles said.

What happens at home after a concussion?
Princess Anne was yesterday released from hospital after suffering a concussion and minor injuries after she was kicked by a horse.
According to experts, the first 48 hours after a concussion are the most crucial monitoring time.
However, the NHS reports that symptoms including a headache, confusion and a loss of memory can persist for up to two weeks.
Those with a concussion are advised to take paracetamol, but they are advised against taking anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen, which can result in bleeding.
A cold compress is also recommended to reduce swelling in the affected area.
