Prince Harry’s return to the UK is dependent on the level of requests he receives to carry out public engagements.

The Duke of Sussex makes an annual trip to London to attend the WellChild awards in September.


This month, the Duke of Sussex extended his visit to the UK to four days to carry out public engagements for multiple charitable causes close to his heart.

A source close to Harry has said that he is eager to do the same in future years.

The source told The Telegraph: “He would love to come back to the UK more.

“You couldn’t drag him away from attending the WellChild Awards.

“[His plans are] driven by the causes that he supports – if they say, ‘We’d really like you to come over, we’re doing this thing’, he will try to make it work.

“It’s driven by the requests. He would love to do as much as possible.”

It comes as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are pushing for a new relationship with the Royal Family that would ease their security fears in the UK, according to a source.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020.

Harry spent four days in the UK this month and held a meeting with King Charles at Clarence House, which lasted nearly an hour.

King Charles has made clear to his youngest son that he can not have a part-time role in the Royal Family; however, the prince is said to want to strike a fresh agreement with the monarch.

A source told the Mail that Harry and Meghan want “friendly relations with the King and to be in a position to move between Britain and the States regularly with no fears for their security.”

The Duke of Sussex has made multiple solo appearances in England over the past two years, but he has previously stated that he does not feel safe bringing his family to the UK.

However, the royal has outlined in an interview last week that Archie and Lilibet’s return to the UK in closer than ever.

Prince Harry told the Guardian regarding the prospect of bringing his children to the country of his birth: “I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
