London: Prince Harry is preparing to visit England next week, marking a significant occasion as he hopes to bring his children back to the land where he grew up. The visit is scheduled for Tuesday, July 7, but its feasibility is under scrutiny due to security concerns and unresolved internal royal conflicts. Additionally, the date coincides with a court ruling in a high-profile privacy lawsuit involving the princess and the Daily Mail publisher.
According to Thai News Agency, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are visiting the UK primarily to promote the Invictus Games for disabled veterans, set to take place in Birmingham next year. The couple, who stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal family in 2020, now reside in the United States. Consequently, their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have not visited the UK for four years. Prince Harry is concerned about the reduced level of police security following his retirement, but his spokesperson confirmed that efforts are being made to ensure a safe visit.
The visit also holds potential for family reconciliation, as media and public attention focus on whether the royal children will meet their grandfather, King Charles III, after years of strained relations between Prince Harry and his family, as detailed in his memoir "Spare." Prince Harry has expressed a desire to reconcile with his family. During their stay in England, the family is expected to reside in both the Royal Palace and private residences. A British government spokesperson declined to provide details on security arrangements for the visit.
