Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to meet King Charles during UK return | Royal | News

According to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will meet King Charles when they return to the UK next month. This comes after questions were raised about whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have the opportunity to meet the monarch.

Sun The monarch’s Queen Elizabeth II He claims there was an “agreement” that he would meet Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom he has not seen in person since they last visited the UK in June 2022, for Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. It is not yet known whether Meghan will join Harry, Archie and Lilibet to meet the King.

While a reunion appears to be planned for the monarch and her two youngest grandchildren, a meeting with Harry’s brother Prince William is likely out of the question. The warring brothers are thought to have not spoken since the late Queen’s funeral and have not been in the same room since joining their uncle Lord Robert Fellowes in July 2024.

The couple are traveling from the US to attend the Invictus Games’ One Year to Go event in Birmingham, making it the Duchess’s first visit to the UK since September 2022. Although it is unknown whether Archie and Lilibet will be seen in public, it has been revealed that the entire Sussex family will be joining Harry for Invictus events from July 6-10.

It is understood the family were invited to stay at the royal residence following Harry’s security scare; The newspaper even claims they could stay at Buckingham Palace; one insider describes it as “Britain’s most secure building”. This is despite the fact that Harry had been offered a stay at the Palace on his previous return to England, but had rejected the offer as he felt it was not safe enough.

With Buckingham Palace currently home to no members of the Royal Family and its 10-year, £369 million redevelopment ongoing, another option would be to stay at nearby St James’s Palace or Windsor Castle.

The couple’s former Frogmore Cottage is also believed to have remained empty since they were evicted in 2023, making a temporary return possible.

The newspaper reported that Meghan was Queen Elizabeth II. He reportedly agreed to stay at the royal residence with armed guards on his first visit since Elizabeth’s funeral in September 2022. Since then, Prince Harry has made several solo return trips to support charities he is affiliated with in the UK, such as for King Charles’ coronation in 2023.

His last visit was in September last year, when he had a private 45-minute meeting with his father at Clarence House. Later, when reporters spoke about the King while attending an event in London, he said: “Yes, it’s great.”

The update comes as an official conclusion regarding the status of Prince Harry’s UK-based security has yet to be confirmed.

In May 2025, Harry lost a lawsuit to reinstate police protection upon his return to the UK. In a bombshell interview with the BBC following the decision, Harry said bringing his family to the UK was “too dangerous” because he could not guarantee their safety.

In December, it was claimed that Harry’s security access was under review while he was visiting the UK. However, no changes to the regulations were made public.

A government spokesman said: “The UK Government’s safeguarding system is stringent and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information about these arrangements as doing so could compromise their integrity and impact the safety of individuals.”

His statement also came after he said England was too dangerous for him and his family to return to. Asked in the ITV documentary Tabloids On Trial whether his legal battles were attracting more attention, Harry said: “There’s too much attention paid to me and my wife anyway. They’ve pushed me too far.”

“It’s still dangerous and all it takes is one actor, one person who reads these things, acts on what they read and decides whether it’s a knife or whether it’s acid or whatever it is, and those are really worrying things to me.”
