Overview
- Reports from June say Harry is expected to travel to Britain in July to promote the one-year-to-go event for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
- He reportedly wants Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to join him so the children can see King Charles, but no firm plans exist for their travel.
- The main obstacle is an ongoing disagreement over UK security arrangements, with Harry’s team having received no official update and Harry insisting his family needs armed protection.
- Palace sources point to behind-the-scenes reconciliation efforts by a new aide to King Charles while sources say a meeting between Harry and Prince William is still unlikely.
- The Sussexes’ 2020 withdrawal from senior royal duties and Harry’s failed legal challenge over UK security last year provide the background that makes this trip a test of whether relations can be repaired.
