Prince Harry returns to UK – See his visit amid royal family tension
Prince Harry’s visit to the United Kingdom has been highly anticipated – and widely expected to be a strained one, given the ongoing rift between the duke and the rest of the royal family. The prince, whose visit marks one year until the Invictus Games 2027, has not seen father King Charles III since September. His wife Meghan and their children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, have not set foot on British soil as a family of four since 2022.
