Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to meet King Charles when they return to the United Kingdom next month, according to reports. The couple will travel from the United States to attend the Invictus Games' One Year to Go event in Birmingham, marking the Duchess of Sussex's first visit to the UK since 2022.
The Sun has reported that there is an agreement for the monarch to meet Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom he has not seen in person since their last UK visit in June 2022 for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.
Security Arrangements
Following Prince Harry's security concerns, it is understood that the family may stay at Buckingham Palace during their visit. An insider told the newspaper that the palace is the safest building in Britain. This comes despite Harry previously declining an offer to stay at the palace during a prior UK visit, citing insufficient security.
Background
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have maintained a strained relationship with the royal family since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. This meeting with King Charles is seen as a potential step toward reconciliation. The couple's children have not seen their grandfather in over four years.
The Invictus Games event in Birmingham will celebrate one year until the next games, which Harry founded for wounded veterans. Meghan's last UK visit was for the Platinum Jubilee, and this trip marks her return after a long absence.
