Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a family visit to the UK in July 2026. This trip coincides with the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
Despite King Charles’ offer of accommodation, Prince Harry appears cautious about his family’s security during their upcoming visit to Britain.
The children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are expected to accompany the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during the trip. According to Page Six reports, Harry is set to bring his own security as he and Meghan plan for a “huge spectacle.”
Harry always travels with one of two of his own security team, according to a source privy to the matter. The family will not travel through private jet but will be accompanied by their own bodyguards.
Security has been the primary barrier to the family’s return. While Prince Harry lost his legal battle for automatic taxpayer-funded police protection, recent reports suggest he has been given assurances that sufficient security provisions will be in place for this trip.
Speaking to BBC, Harry said, “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point… And I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show, you know, my children my homeland.”
King Charles has not seen his youngest grandchildren in person since 2022. The monarch has extended an invitation for them to stay at a royal residence, but it is not yet confirmed whether the reunion will take place or not.
