Prince Harry could visit the UK more regularly after his recent 'successful' trip back, according to royal sources. The Duke of Sussex visited the UK last month for the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games in Birmingham. He arrived a few days before Meghan Markle and the couple's young children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, joined him for the summer holidays.
Family reunion at Highgrove
Only Prince Harry was seen in the public eye as he entertained the crowds at the Invictus Games event with This Morning host Alison Hammond during his busy week in the UK. But the entire family are said to have been hosted by King Charles at Highgrove House – the first time in four years the children saw their grandfather, 77.
Harry is now hoping to see his father and other family members more often when he travels to the UK, possibly as often as 'every few months,' The Times reports, citing a source close to the duke. The 41-year-old is expected to return next month for engagements with the WellChild charity and Invictus Game-related activities. However, it is not known yet whether the Duchess of Sussex and the children will join him in September.
Buoyed by the reunion
A source said: 'Prince Harry wants to return to UK 'every few months' after 'happy' reunion.' While the recent Highgrove family reunion has been kept under wraps, Prince Harry is said to have been left 'buoyed, very happy and really energised' by it.
It was later revealed that the Sussexes and the children also visited Harry's uncle, the brother of late Princess Diana, Earl Spencer and his wife Dr Cat Jarman at the Althorp family estate in Northamptonshire. Pictures later shared by Meghan on her Instagram account showed the family walking through a tree-lined path on the Althorp grounds. Harry appears to carry a bouquet next to Archie, believed to have been for Lady Di's grave, who is buried in the middle of Oval Lake at Althorp.
Legal case and next steps
Other snaps posted by Meghan showed her and Harry laughing over a dinner, and the family on a beach vacation, believed to have been at their Portugal holiday home. Prince Harry and several other celebrities had their phone hacking High Court case against Associated Newspapers, the Daily Mail publisher, dismissed last month. He is reportedly waiting for a final decision on the costs of the legal case later this month before deciding on a possible appeal, according to The Times.
