Prince Harry to visit UK with Meghan and children in July for Invictus Games countdown

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan their first family trip to the United Kingdom in four years, scheduled for early July 2026, traveling with their children Archie (7) and Lilibet (5). The visit coincides with the one‑year countdown events for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, the sport competition founded by Harry. King Charles III has agreed to facilitate the trip, including offering private funding for the Sussexes’ security and possibly providing royal accommodation, easing Harry’s earlier security concerns after losing state‑funded protection. Sources say the King will see his grandchildren for the first time since 2022, and an “agreement” has been reached for him to spend time with them during the visit. Public opinion in the UK remains divided, with polls showing low favorability for Meghan and concerns over taxpayer‑funded security costs.
