Prince Harry is reportedly preparing to return to the United Kingdom this summer with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, according to sources cited by multiple outlets. The visit would mark the first time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have brought their children, Archie and Lilibet, to the UK since 2022.
The trip comes amid reports of ongoing strain in Harry's relationship with his father, King Charles III, and brother, Prince William. A source told a British newspaper that Harry feels 'great sadness' over the disconnect with his family, though no official confirmation has been provided by Buckingham Palace or the Sussexes' representatives.
Harry's last visit to the UK was in May 2024 for the Invictus Games 10th anniversary service at St. Paul's Cathedral. He did not meet with his father or brother during that trip, according to palace aides. The planned summer visit is believed to be focused on private family time, though security arrangements remain a point of contention due to Harry's changed security status after stepping down as a working royal.
