Prince Harry (41) is expected to travel to Great Britain in July to kick off a countdown to the Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham from July 10 to 17, 2027. It has now become known that the younger son of King Charles III (77), who lives in the USA, could travel to Great Britain with his entire family for the first time in years. The games for war-wounded soldiers, which were founded by Harry, are a matter close to the prince's heart.
Prince Harry is said to bring Meghan, Archie and Lilibet
Harry is said to arrive with his wife and their two children together, according to reports from BBC News. Should Duchess Meghan (44), young Archie (7) and his little sister Lilibet (5) actually fly to the prince's old homeland, it would be the first time in about four years that they all set foot on British soil together. The King has officially met his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet together only once, namely during the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), who passed away a few months later.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan had stepped back from their duties as senior royals in 2020 and live with their two children Archie and Lilibet in Montecito, California. Due to a falling-out, Harry's relationships with his father Charles and his older brother Prince William (43) are considered strained. However, as early as March, the Sunday Times had reported, citing insiders from Harry's close circle, that the prince was hoping for an invitation from his father to be able to visit him with the family in summer. "If the King said, 'Come over and spend some time here with the family,' he would love that," a friend said about Harry.
A security question?
The BBC report comes a few days after anonymous sources had told US magazine People that Meghan and the children probably would not fly to Great Britain. The reason for this was said to be Harry's security concerns. A central point for the prince apparently remains his security in the United Kingdom, because he and Meghan lost their entitlement to taxpayer-funded police protection after stepping back from the front line of the royals. According to the Sunday Times report, he could presumably put these concerns aside if he were invited by the King to the Sandringham estate. During this time, his family would probably automatically be protected by the security forces on site.
