Prince Harry set to return to the UK tonight: Will he meet his father King Charles?

Prince Harry has only been in the UK a handful of times since he and his wife Meghan Markle left the Royal Family in 2020. One of the last times he was in his home country was for his father’s coronation on May 6, which he attended alone.

Indeed the coronation fell on the same day as little Archie’s fourth birthday, so Prince Harry’s stay was very short and left as soon as the coronation was finished to rejoin his family in the US.

Prince Harry will once again be in the UK unaccompanied by his wife for a charity event, but the one question that everyone wants to know, will he make time for King Charles?

Prince Harry in the UK for the WellChild Awards

Prince Harry released a statement during the summer announcing that he was returning to the UK for the WellChild Awards but would not be accompanied by his wife, Meghan Markle.

As reported by Daily Mail, Prince Harry will celebrate the achievements and resilience of seriously ill children and the families that are supported by WellChild. Prince Harry has been the patron of the charity for 15 years.

The event falls on the eve of the first anniversary of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s death. The Duke of Sussex will then be in Dusseldorf, Germany for the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games, where Meghan will join him a few days later.
