Prince Harry's visit to London will also be a solo trip, with Meghan Markle's absence from the UK extending to over two years this month.
According to an insider, Harry will travel to South Africa after his time in the UK rather than going straight back to the US.
A source told the Express: "Harry's only engagement in the UK is for the WellChild awards."
"He will then fly to South Africa to see friends that he hasn't seen for a while and to support his charity."

Prince Harry has made a unique request ahead of his upcoming engagement in the UK.
Harry has requested that the location of his engagement is not made public until Monday, as a security measure, an insider has claimed.
The source told the Express: "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."
It has not been confirmed if Harry and Charles will meet during his time in the UK.
In February, the father and son held a 45-minute meeting at Clarence House after Harry rushed back to the country of his birth following the news the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer.
Harry has made two trips to the UK since then, including in August for his uncle's funeral, but has not seen King Charles during either of them.
