The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly preparing to bring their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK in July, marking the youngsters' first visit in four years.
The family is expected to travel from California as Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex attend celebrations for the one-year countdown to next year’s Invictus Games, set to take place in Birmingham.
Seven-year-old Archie and five-year-old Lilibet last saw their grandfather, the King, in person during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
The Duke had previously voiced his desire to bring his children from the US, but had maintained that security concerns made it too dangerous.
However, reports now indicate that Prince Harry has been assured that sufficient security provisions will be in place for the upcoming trip.
It is not yet known whether Charles will meet his youngest grandchildren during their stay.
The trip comes after Harry reunited with his father, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, last September for the first time in 19 months.
When the duke lost a Court of Appeal challenge against the Home Office over his security arrangements while in the UK in 2025, he gave a BBC interview in which he expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family, revealing that Charles would not speak to him because of his court battle over his security.
Harry added he “can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK”.
The duke, who stepped down from the working monarchy in 2020, has levelled a barrage of accusations at the King, his stepmother the Queen, brother Prince of Wales and sister-in-law the Princess of Wales in his Oprah interview, Netflix documentary, interviews and his autobiography Spare since moving to the US.
Harry previously claimed Charles was jealous of Meghan and Kate, did not hug him when he told him his mother Diana, Princess of Wales had died, and said he believed the King was “never made” for single parenthood, but “to be fair, he tried”.
Charles, according to the duke, pleaded with his sons during a tense meeting after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral: “Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.”
Harry, who claimed in his memoir that William physically attacked him and pushed him into a dog bowl, remains estranged from his brother.
The Invictus Games sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans is being staged in Birmingham next year from 10-17 July.
The duke’s spokesperson has yet to comment.
