Prince Harry’s London Visit Without Meghan and Children

Prince Harry will travel to London without his wife Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, next week, according to a source close to him. The original plan was thought to include a family visit, marking their first return to the U.K. in four years. However, the source indicated that they will not join him in the capital.

The details about the rest of the trip are still being planned. It is uncertain if the entire family will visit the U.K. but remain outside London. Harry’s visit aligns with the countdown to the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014 for wounded veterans and will occur from July 10 to 17, 2027.

During his multiday visit, Harry is also expected to attend events with other charities he supports. Although the family is currently in Europe and intends to visit the U.K. “in some form,” The Sun reported his solo visit is “for security reasons.” They had initially planned a hospital visit together, marking Meghan’s first such engagement since departing the U.K.

Previously, a source stated Harry and his family would be staying in royal residences, with BBC reporting they would be guests of King Charles III. Last year, Harry raised safety concerns after losing a court case regarding full police protection in the U.K., stating it was “impossible” for him to ensure his family’s safety there.

The security details for this visit are unclear, and Buckingham Palace has not extended additional security. Harry and Meghan moved to North America in 2020, stepping back from royal duties amid family disputes, which worsened with Harry’s memoir “Spare” and legal issues in the U.K.

Harry wishes to reconcile with his father. However, it is unknown if they will meet during his trip. The last believed meeting with King Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment, was in September 2025 at Clarence House in London.
