Prince Harry is expected to travel to the UK next month. The Duke of Sussex is reportedly planning to return to England in July to participate in “one-year-to-go” promotional events and celebrations in Birmingham for the Invictus Games in 2027. The upcoming 2027 games are set to feature around 550 competitors from 25 countries and will debut three new sports: pickleball, laser run, and esports. The Invictus Games will return to the UK for the first time since the inaugural games were held in London in 2014.

Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 after being inspired by the US Warrior Games. As a military veteran himself who served two tours in Afghanistan, he wanted to create an international platform that used the power of sport to help wounded, injured, and sick service personnel physically and psychologically rehabilitate

Sources told Page Six that Prince Harry “hopes” and “would love” to bring his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet back to England with him for the trip but that “no firm plans have been made.”

The outlet also claimed that Harry “desperately” wants to bring his family to England to see King Charles. However, Harry has repeatedly stated that he does not believe the current UK security arrangements are sufficient for his family.

Following his unsuccessful legal challenge over police protection, he said that security concerns remain a major obstacle to bringing Meghan and the children to Britain.

While Harry is reportedly very keen to see his father, there’s “still no chance” of Harry meeting with Prince William, sources told Page Six.

The two brothers have not been seen together publicly since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.

William reportedly remains upset over Harry’s memoir ‘Spare,’ published in 2023. The Duke of Sussex made several explosive claims about the Prince and Princess of Wales, including an alleged physical altercation and private family disputes.

Harry was notably absent from his cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding to Harriet Sperling last weekend, having reportedly not been invited.

The event drew several senior royals, including William and Kate Middleton, King Charles and Queen Camilla, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie.
