Prince Harry arrives at 'secret' London location without Meghan Markle as duke returns to UK

The Duke of Sussex arrived at the Royal Lancaster Hotel wearing a blue tie and black suit.

As a security measure, Harry requested that the location of the event was not made public until today.

A source said: "Harry is still very concerned about his security in the UK and his team have asked that the location not be shared with anyone until the day of the event.

"It's one thing for Harry to come over last minute for a funeral or to see family, but completely different when the event is publicised and in the public domain.

"He [Harry] could become a target so the team have ensured that the location only be known on a need to know basis."

King Charles is in Scotland and has no plans to travel to London to see his youngest son.

Therefore, the Duke of Sussex will need to head to Scotland after his engagement if he wants to see his father.

Harry has not seen Charles since February 2024 just days after it was announced the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer.

The duke and his father had a 45-minute chat at Clarence House during their meeting but have not seen each other in seven months despite Harry returning to the UK three times in that time.

Prince William and Princess Kate are set to snub a reunion with Prince Harry this week.
