Prince Harry has ruled out a return to the UK ahead of his 40th birthday, following speculation that he could lend a hand to the Royal Family with "low-key" royal duties.
The Duke of Sussex told People Magazine via a spokesperson that the best gift he has ever been given is "his kids", and "enjoys watching them grow every single day".
Dismissing any claims that Harry could return to the UK for his milestone celebration, the publication also revealed that the Sussexes plan to celebrate his big day "with their children, followed by a gathering with close friends internationally".
The latest development in reports surrounding Prince Harry's future with the Royal Family follows the announcement of his latest Netflix project POLO, a documentary series taking viewers behind-the-scenes of the sport the royal is particularly passionate about.

Discussing the latest claims on GB News, Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker said the Prince's focus is "on California and his US projects".
Cameron explained: "Prince Harry plans to spend his 40th birthday on Sunday with his wife and children, Meghan is reportedly throwing a big party for him at their California mansion, and then Prince Harry is going to jet off away from the United States with the lads, with a group of close friends for a bit of a holiday.
"Let's see if it's a repeat of his infamous Las Vegas trip from a decade or so ago."
Highlighting the reports ruling out a return to duties for the Duke, Cameron noted that it appears any form of return is "not on the horizon" despite previous claims from sources that he was "exploring options".

GettyCameron told GB News: "But the key line in this, for me, is the fact that it says a return to royal duties is not on the horizon for Prince Harry.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"It has been approved by Prince Harry and his team, which suggests to me that it is in fact true. Prince Harry has no plans to return the UK to support his father or indeed his brother, as a working member of the Royal Family."
When asked by host Martin Daubney what this means for the current state of the relationship between the duke and the rest of the monarchy, Cameron revealed that his brother Prince William and King Charles most often respond with "no comment" when asked about their estranged family member.
Cameron said: "I think it's very significant, actually, clearly they are saying, no, he's not coming back to the UK, he's not even considering it.
"Anything to do with Prince Harry, when you ask the press office or somebody close to the King or Prince William, it's no comments when it comes to Prince Harry. So clearly there is still a big rift there across the Atlantic."

Detailing the next upcoming engagements for Prince Harry, Cameron noted that the brothers will be reunited at the same event, but will not speak as they will not physically be at the event together.
Cameron said: "He's in New York celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Diana Award, which is a legacy award set up to champion young people in memory of his mother, Princess Diana.
"Prince William also supports that charity, but of course, they're supporting it separately on both sides of the Atlantic this year."
