Prince Harry is making headlines once again as reports suggest he is gearing up to spend a significant amount of time in the UK this May.
The reason behind his visit?
The 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral.
However, the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Meghan will join him on this trip down memory lane.
Scheduled for May 8, the event coincides closely with their son Archie’s fifth birthday, just two days prior.
Speculation looms over whether Archie and his younger sister Lilibet will be part of the journey alongside their father.
Sources close to the royal family reveal that Prince Harry is set to arrive in the UK on May 7, keeping his location under wraps to ensure some quality time with his extended family before heading back to California.
In the midst of these plans, Harry and Meghan are reportedly organizing a birthday bash for Archie at their Montecito residence on May 6, adding to the whirlwind of events.
Following the private celebrations, Prince Harry is expected to jet off to the UK the next day.
His main agenda includes attending the anniversary service and allowing his children to connect with their British relatives.
The Duke of Sussex is said to be eager to strengthen the bond between his offspring and their cousins, especially in light of recent family health concerns.
The desire to create a second home base in the UK, albeit not on a full-time basis, reflects Harry’s longing to establish roots for his young family in familiar territory.
However, conflicting reports emerge regarding Meghan’s stance on the matter.
While she appears hesitant to let her children accompany Harry on this journey, there are murmurs of a potential compromise.
The condition being Harry hosting another birthday celebration for Archie at a royal estate, a move deemed unlikely but not entirely ruled out.
For Meghan, the prospect of an extended stay in Britain poses challenges, given her past experiences of feeling unwelcome and facing anxiety during visits.
Her last trip to the UK dates back to September 2022, during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, where tensions were palpable.
Despite this, Meghan did return with Harry for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, which was met with mixed reactions from the public.
The couple’s tumultuous relationship with the UK took a downturn when they were evicted from Frogmore Cottage, a property gifted to them by the Queen.
King Charles issued the eviction notice in early January, leading to their relocation to California in June 2023.
Reports suggest that any future stays in royal residences would require private agreements with the monarch, highlighting the complexities of their ties to the royal family.
