GB News has revealed new details about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming visit to the UK in July 2026. The Sussexes are returning to England with their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, for the one-year countdown event for the 2027 Invictus Games. They are also set to reunite with King Charles. According to reports, the couple plans to take their children to visit the grave of Princess Diana, Harry's mother, who died in a car accident in 1997.
GB News Discussion Highlights Skepticism and Hope
The update was discussed by former senior gardener to King Charles, Jack Stooks, and GB News presenter Cristo Foufas. Foufas admitted he is often cynical of the Sussexes due to their past behaviour. Stooks said: "I'm really cynical when Harry and Meghan want to come to the UK because, for a long time, they've been incredibly critical of the Royal Family and every time it seems like there is a meeting or they get together, it ends up in a magazine or in a book or in some way monetised."
When asked what makes this trip different, Stooks noted: "We don't know if it is going to be different, but some time has passed since they last had a piece of write up about the Royal Family. They have been quite quiet in fairness. We've just seen a lot more of Meghan's product being advertised and not much else."
Invictus Games Countdown and Family Plans
Stooks defended the visit, pointing out that it is for a countdown event marking the lead-up to the 2027 Invictus Games. Foufas argued that the only reason there have been no new revelations from Harry and Meghan is because they have had little contact with the Royal Family, including King Charles and Prince William. He referenced intimate details Harry revealed in his 2023 memoir, Spare, suggesting the visit could provide another opportunity for them to write about the Royal Family.
Stooks responded: "Let's hope not. Let's hope enough time has passed, that they're going to come over quietly and see the family. We're hoping it's going to be a nice quiet visit, that might not see too much of them. I'm sure we're going to see some of them. They're wanting to take his children to see Diana's grave at Althorp and we've got that coming up on the 10th or 11th. That's when Althorp seems to be closed. Fingers crossed it's going to be a private, quiet visit."
Taking a swipe at the couple, Foufas remarked: "I don't know if we're all convinced, but thank you."
