The Duke of Sussex will give a reading at St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday

Prince Harry has arrived in the UK without Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet just a day after celebrating his son's birthday in the US.

The Duke of Sussex has flown to London to attend an Invictus event to mark the 10th anniversary of the games.


Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 when he was a working member of the Royal Family.

No senior member of the Royal Family is expected to attend the event at St Paul's Cathedral.

King Charles's youngest son is understood to have various Invictus Games commitments today.

Prince Harry is due to be part of a panel of discussion marking 10 years since he launched the games.

The Duke of Sussex will not meet with his father during his brief trip to London this week.

King Charles and Prince Harry last saw each other face to face in February 2024 following the monarch's cancer diagnosis.

The royals met at Clarence House for 45 minutes but Harry did not meet with Prince William.

Last week, sources close to Meghan confirmed she would remain in the US with the couple's two young children Archie and Lilibet rather than joining her husband in the UK.

The Duchess of Sussex has not visited the UK since September 2022 despite Harry making multiple trips to London over the last 18 months.

Meghan chose not to attend the King's Coronation in May 2023 with reports claiming the former US actress feared her unpopularity would lead to her receiving boos from the public during the historic event.

Monday marked the first anniversary of the Coronation and a new poll found that all members of the Royal Family have seen their popularity increase in the last 12 months apart from Meghan Markle.

The Duchess of Sussex's approval rating remained unchanged at 25 per cent.

Prince Harry's popularity increased by four per cent moving the duke up to an overall approval rating of 31 per cent.

2,116 adults took part in the poll conducted by Ipsos for the Mail.
