A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@meghan)
The post came after Prince Harry, 40, revealed he lost his protracted legal battle to keep taxpayer-funded security arrangements in the UK, the New York Post reported.
The Duke of Sussex claimed that his security was wrongfully terminated after leaving royal duties and relocating to the US in 2020.
The legal panel that made the ruling stated that Harry should not be granted publicly funded security because he no longer has royal responsibilities.
In an interview with the BBC, Prince Harry expressed his continued hope for a reconciliation with his family despite several "disagreements, differences". He said he was "devastated" by the ruling of the court.
Following the Friday ruling, Harry said, "The United Kingdom is my birthplace and will always be part of who I am."
Prince Harry contested the government's decision to reduce his protection but lost his initial lawsuit against the Royal and VIP Executive Committee [RAVEC] in February 2024, PEOPLE reported.
He also revealed to the BBC that his father, King Charles III, no longer communicates with him due to the legal issue.
Despite missing the UK, the Duke of Sussex said he probably won't bring his wife and children to the country again.
"I don't see a scenario where I would return to the UK with my wife and kids, right now," Prince Harry said.

‘Day of the Jackal' author Frederick Forsyth dies at 86
Frederick Forsyth, the British author of 'The Day of the Jackal' and other bestselling thrillers, has died after a brief illness, his literary agent said Monday. He was 86. Jonathan Lloyd, his agent, said Forsyth died at home early Monday surrounded by his family. 'We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers,' Lloyd said. Born in Kent, in southern England, in 1938, Forsyth served as a Royal Air Force pilot before becoming a foreign correspondent. He covered the attempted assassination of French President Charles de Gaulle in 1962, which provided inspiration for 'The Day of the Jackal,' his bestselling political thriller about a professional assassin. Published in 1971, the book propelled him into global fame. It was made into a film in 1973 starring Edward Fox as the Jackal and more recently a television series starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. In 2015, Forsyth told the BBC that he had also worked for the British intelligence agency MI6 for many years, starting from when he covered a civil war in Nigeria in the 1960s. Although Forsyth said he did other jobs for the agency, he said he was not paid for his services and 'it was hard to say no' to officials seeking information. 'The zeitgeist was different,' he told the BBC. 'The Cold War was very much on.' He wrote more than 25 books including 'The Afghan,' 'The Kill List,' 'The Dogs of War' and 'The Fist of God' that have sold over 75 million copies, Lloyd said. His publisher, Bill Scott-Kerr, said that 'Revenge of Odessa,' a sequel to the 1974 book 'The Odessa File' that Forsyth worked on with fellow thriller author Tony Kent, will be published in August. 'Still read by millions across the world, Freddie's thrillers define the genre and are still the benchmark to which contemporary writers aspire,' Scott-Kerr said.

Blake Lively breaks silence on Justin Baldoni's $650 million lawsuit dismissal: ‘Felt the pain of manufactured shame'
Actor Blake Lively is celebrating a major legal victory after a judge dismissed Justin Baldoni's $650 million lawsuit against her, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times. She admitted that she has felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, adding that she will continue standing up for women's rights. Also read: Justin Baldoni's $650 million lawsuit tossed out: Judge sides with Blake Lively and other defendants Blake took to Instagram to speak out after Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against her was dismissed by a judge. Taking to her Instagram stories, Blake wrote, 'Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organisations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back." The 37-year-old star added, 'I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story. There are protections out there. Check out some of the incredible organisations below for resources and information. With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.' As part of the post, Blake Lively shared a list of organisations for relevant resources and information, including California Employment Lawyers Association; California Women's Law Center; CHILD USA; Coalition Against Trafficking in Women; and Equal Rights Advocates. On Monday, Justin Baldoni faced a major legal blow as a judge dismissed his countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, along with his defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. The court's decision ends the director's $650 million legal battle, accusing them of extortion and defamation. In the opinion and order filing obtained by PEOPLE, Judge Lewis J. Liman stated, 'The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her CRD complaint, which are privileged. The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.' Meanwhile, Blake Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, described the decision a 'total victory and a complete vindication' for the Gossip Girl star and others whom 'Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times'. The ruling is the latest twist in the legal battle over the making and marketing of the 2024 film It Ends With Us. Justin Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in January, accusing the Hollywood stars of trying to destroy his reputation by accusing him of sexual harassment.
