The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to travel with their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five. The visit has been reported by the BBC, the The Daily Telegraph and ITV News.
Royal Rift Continues
Harry and Meghan relocated to North America in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties. Since then, relations between the couple and the British royal family have been strained, with disagreements playing out publicly through interviews, documentaries and Harry’s memoir.
The Sussexes have previously said their decision to leave Britain was influenced by intense tabloid scrutiny, racism within institutions, online abuse, family tensions and a desire to achieve financial independence.
Harry’s Recent UK Visits
While Meghan has not returned frequently to Britain, Harry has made several solo visits in recent years. He attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 and the coronation of King Charles III in 2023.
In September last year, Harry met his father in England in their first face-to-face meeting in 19 months, fueling speculation that relations between the two sides of the family could be improving. His most recent visit came in January, when he attended court proceedings linked to a lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail over allegations of unlawful information gathering.
Harry has repeatedly expressed a desire to repair relations with his family. However, it remains unclear whether King Charles will meet Archie and Lilibet during the upcoming trip. The King last saw his grandchildren in person in 2022, when the Sussex family visited Britain for celebrations marking the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
Invictus Games Anniversary Event
The reported visit is expected to coincide with an event marking one year until the next Invictus Games, the international competition founded by Harry more than a decade ago for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans.
