Prince Harry WILL return to Britain this month… but ‘without Meghan’: Trip is revealed just days after Royal Family wishes Duke a happy 40th birthday
Prince Harry will return to the UK later this month to attend a high-profile charity event in London.
It has been announced that the Duke of Sussex will be a guest at the annual WellChild Awards in his role as the charity’s patron.
The national charity for seriously ill children is one of the few UK-based organisations that the prince kept links with after his acrimonious departure from royal duties and move to the US.
He chose to remain in the position, which he has held for 16 years, when his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, asked him to step down from his other royal patronages as a now non-working member of the family.
There was no mention of his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, accompanying him.
According to some reports she has vowed never to set foot in the UK again, and when she flew into the UK earlier this year when the couple visited Nigeria she didn’t even set foot outside the airport.
On Monday the Daily Mail revealed that Harry may travel to the UK to attend the awards, after both Buckingham and Kensington Palace’s chose to wish him happy 40th birthday on their social media channels.
With the King currently based in Scotland but returning to London regularly for his ongoing cancer treatment, it could give an opportunity for father and son to actually meet in private.
However the King has a major engagement in Scotland just two days before Harry’s when he and Queen Camilla visit the Scottish Parliament to mark its 25th anniversary.
This suggests he could well remain north of the border while his son is in the country.
The last time they saw each other was in February when it was announced that the King had cancer and the prince flew from the US to see him briefly.
When he returned again in May, however, the King was too busy to meet, although His Majesty did offer him alternative accommodation in one of the royal properties, contrary to reports. Harry chose to stay in a hotel instead.
