Prince Harry’s spokesman has revealed the duke “loved being back in the UK” as he prepares to return to the US later this evening.
During Harry’s four-day trip to Britain, he reunited with King Charles after more than a year-and-a-half apart.
"He’s obviously loved being back in the UK,” a spokesman for Prince Harry said of the last week.
They continued it had allowed the duke to spend time “catching up with old friends” and “colleagues”.

The spokesman told Hello! Magazine that he also greatly appreciated: “Being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him."
While the duke was evidently happy to drop in on some of his treasured causes, it was his meeting with King Charles that defined his recent stay in Britain.
The estranged father and son reunited in London for “a private tea” after more than a-year-and-a-half spent apart on Wednesday; Buckingham Palace would later confirm.
What was discussed behind the closed doors of Clarence House for their short meeting is not known, with the Duke of Sussex vowing to his father that he would keep their discussion private.

“He has told his father he won't be giving any interviews about it and his team have been instructed not to brief journalists about what was said,” a royal insider said of the meeting.
While the specifics remain unclear, the insider was convinced yesterday's audience represented a move towards reconciliation between the father and son.
“This is an important first step towards rebuilding their father-and-son relationship,” the source said.
“There's a long way to go before Harry can earn his family's trust but he's given some assurances,” they told the Daily Mail.

King Charles and Prince Harry last met in February 2024, just days after Buckingham Palace announced that the monarch was undergoing cancer treatment.
Eyebrows were raised on Wednesday when it emerged the King had flown from Aberdeen to London, bringing him within a short drive of his estranged son.
The Royal Standard was raised at Buckingham Palace, officially confirming the monarch was in the capital.
While he undertook routine duties at Clarence House, Harry was filmed being sped into the building in the back of a Range Rover.
