Prince Harry and his family will return to the United Kingdom for a visit next month, British media reported Wednesday. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to be accompanied by their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, in what would be their first trip to the UK as a family in four years.

Background

Harry and his wife Meghan, who live in California, left the UK for North America in 2020 after stepping back from royal life, and have since been involved in a long-running, public falling out with his family. The Sussexes cited a toxic cocktail of tabloid intrusion, entrenched racism in British institutions, online abuse and complex family dynamics, alongside a desire for financial independence as reasons for leaving the UK.

Harry has previously shared his desire to reconcile with his family, and the meeting triggered speculation the royal family’s rift might be abating. It is not yet known whether the King will meet with his grandchildren during the reported visit next month.
