Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will visit the UK next month with their son Archie and daughter Lilibet and have reportedly been offered royal accommodation for their stay
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been offered royal accommodation for their next UK visit, reports say.
The Sussexes, who now reside in the plush celebrity-haunt town of Montecito in California, are set to return to Blighty for a short time next month.
Previously, Harry reportedly turned down the chance to stay at Buckingham Palace amid security concerns over the building’s high-profile nature. It is not clear which royal residence has been offered to Harry and Meghan for their stay next month, their first family trip to the UK in four years.
The duke has reportedly been assured that adequate security provisions will be in place for the trip.
The BBC reported that the Sussexes, who will travel with their son Archie, seven and daughter Lilibet, five, have not yet responded to the offer.
The children last saw their grandfather the King in person at the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022. It is not yet known whether the King will meet his youngest grandchildren during their stay.
The couple is returning to attend celebrations marking the one-year countdown to next year’s Invictus Games in Birmingham, according to reports.
Harry last reunited with Charles, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, last September for the first time in 19 months.
When the duke lost a Court of Appeal challenge against the Home Office over his security arrangements while in the UK in 2025, he gave a BBC interview in which he expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family, revealing that Charles would not speak to him because of his court battle over his security.
Harry added he “can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK”.
The duke, who stepped down from the working monarchy in 2020, has levelled a barrage of accusations at the King, his stepmother the Queen, brother Prince of Wales and sister-in-law the Princess of Wales in his Oprah interview, Netflix documentary, interviews and his autobiography Spare since moving to the US.
Harry previously claimed Charles was jealous of Meghan and Kate, did not hug him when he told him his mother Diana, Princess of Wales had died, and said he believed the King was “never made” for single parenthood, but “to be fair, he tried”.
Charles, according to the duke, pleaded with his sons during a tense meeting after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral: “Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.”
Harry, who claimed in his memoir that William physically attacked him and pushed him into a dog bowl, remains estranged from his brother.
The Invictus Games sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans is being staged in Birmingham next year from July 10-17.
The Mirror has approached the Palace and the Sussexes for comment.
