Friday, June 19, 2026 - Britain’s Prince Harry and his family will return to the United Kingdom for a visit next month, British media has reported .
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to be
accompanied by their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, in what
would be their first trip to the UK as a family in four years, according to the
BBC, the Telegraph and ITV News.
Harry and his wife Meghan, who live in California, left the
UK for North America in 2020 after stepping back from royal life, and have
since been involved in a long-running, public falling out with his family.
The Sussexes cited a toxic cocktail of tabloid intrusion,
entrenched racism in British institutions, online abuse and complex family
dynamics, alongside a desire for financial independence as reasons for leaving
the UK, in televised interviews and a memoir.
In the years since, Harry, 41, has made several short trips
back to the UK, most notably attending the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in
2022 and his father King Charles III’s coronation in 2023.
Most recently, Harry returned to England last September when
he reunited with his father –– their first face-to-face meeting in 19 months.
Earlier this year, he also returned to the country to attend court as part of a
lawsuit he and others have brought against the publisher of the Daily Mail over
allegations of unlawful information gathering.
Harry has previously shared his desire to reconcile with his
family, and the meeting triggered speculation the royal family’s rift might be
abating.
It is not yet known whether the King will meet with his
grandchildren during the reported visit next month. They last saw each other in
person in 2022, when the Sussex family returned to the UK for the late Queen’s
Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Their visit coincides with an event marking one year to the
start of the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027, the biennial sporting competition
Harry founded more than a decade ago. Harry has reportedly been assured that
adequate security provisions will be in place for the upcoming trip.
