Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to bring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK next month for the first time in four years.
Harry and Meghan will travel from California with their children when the couple return to attend celebrations marking the one-year countdown to next year’s Invictus Games in Birmingham, according to reports.
Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, last saw their grandfather King Charles in person at the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
Harry previously expressed his hopes of bringing his children from the US, but had insisted it was too dangerous amid his legal fight over his UK security.
But Harry has reportedly been assured that adequate security provision will be in place for the trip.
It is not yet known whether Charles will meet his youngest grandchildren during their stay.
The trip comes after Harry reunited with Charles, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, last September for the first time in 19 months.
When Harry lost a Court of Appeal challenge against the Home Office over his security arrangements while in the UK in 2025, he gave a BBC interview in which he expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family, revealing that Charles would not speak to him because of his court battle over his security.
Harry added he “can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK”.
Harry, who stepped down from the working monarchy in 2020, has levelled a barrage of accusations at Charles, his stepmother the Queen, brother Prince of Wales and sister-in-law the Princess of Wales in his Oprah interview, Netflix documentary, interviews and his autobiography Spare since moving to the US.
Harry previously claimed Charles was jealous of Meghan and Kate, did not hug him when he told him his mother Diana, Princess of Wales had died, and said he believed the King was “never made” for single parenthood, but “to be fair, he tried”.
Charles, according to Harry, pleaded with his sons during a tense meeting after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral: “Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.”
Harry, who claimed in his memoir that William physically attacked him and pushed him into a dog bowl, remains estranged from his brother.
The Invictus Games sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans is being staged in Birmingham next year from July 10th-17th.
Harry's spokesperson has yet to comment.
