A source told the Sunday Times regarding the prospect: “At the end of the day, as he’s (Harry) no longer a member of the institution, he doesn’t feel bound to de-conflict his diary with the institution.”
Prince Harry’s trip is the first time the Duke of Sussex has returned since suffering a crushing court defeat in May 2025.
It will end the royal’s hiatus from the UK, which has gone on for four months since he lost his legal battle for taxpayer-funded armed police protection.
