The Duke of Sussex’s comments come after his four-day visit to the UK last week where he met with King Charles for the first time in over a year and a half.
Last week, an insider revealed that Prince Harry is now open to bringing his wife and children with him on his trips to the country of his birth.
The source told The Sunday Times: “He’s not given up hope on bringing his family back to the UK. He wants to be able to show his children where he grew up.
“He wants them to know their family here. He really would like to come back to the UK much more.”

Prince Harry’s trip to the UK last week was the first time the Duke of Sussex had returned since suffering a crushing court defeat in May 2025.
It ended the royal’s hiatus from the UK, which had gone on for four months since he lost his legal battle for taxpayer-funded armed police protection.
The California-based royal had fought the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office.
The case centred on a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that Harry should receive a different degree of protection when visiting the country.

Ultimately, the Court of Appeal ruled against the Duke, with Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls, dismissing his appeal.
The ruling meant that armed police bodyguards, paid for by the British taxpayer, will not be automatically reinstated for Harry, Meghan and their two children when in the UK.
Following the legal defeat, the Duke of Sussex told the BBC in a TV interview that he could not see a future in which he brought Meghan, Archie and Lilibet back to the country of his birth.
He said in May 2025: “(I) can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point".
