The Duke of Sussex will travel to London for a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Prince Harry will attend the thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral on 8 May, where he will give a reading. Actor Damian Lewis will also recite a poem during the event.
The prince's last visit to the UK was in February for a brief meeting with King Charles following his cancer diagnosis. This will be his first major public engagement in Britain for some time. Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014, a sporting event for wounded military personnel.
A spokesperson for the Games said the ceremony will celebrate 'a decade of changing lives and saving lives through sport'. It remains unclear whether the Duchess of Sussex will accompany him to the service, but she will join him afterwards for a trip to Nigeria, their first joint visit to the country.
The visit coincides with Buckingham Palace confirming that King Charles will resume public duties next week after making encouraging progress in his cancer treatment. The King's medical team remains positive about his continued recovery, though the type of cancer has not been disclosed.
The Princess of Wales is also undergoing treatment for cancer, which was discovered after abdominal surgery in January. In a statement in March, she described the diagnosis as a 'huge shock' and said she is in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy. Kensington Palace expressed confidence in her full recovery.
