Overview
- A private family meeting at Highgrove in July left Harry described by close aides as 'buoyed' and prompted him to plan more frequent returns to Britain.
- Sources say Harry expects to come back 'every few months' over the next year and will spend about a week in the UK in September on WellChild and Invictus Games preparations.
- He has reportedly invited King Charles to attend the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham and hopes the monarch will appear at a ceremony, though no commitment has been made.
- Harry continues to press the Home Office for a fresh review of his state-funded security after losing a High Court challenge in February 2025 that upheld RAVEC’s downgrade of his protection.
- Key practical and interpersonal questions remain unresolved, including whether Meghan and the children will join September plans, where Harry will stay, whether he will meet the King then, and the fact that Prince William remains publicly estranged.
