Montecito, California – Is 2026 finally the year of reconciliation? According to insiders, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, hope to be able to bring their two children back to the UK in just a few weeks!
The 41‑year‑old Duke is set to travel to England in July to promote the Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham next year.
For this occasion, Harry would like to have his family by his side. Moreover, Meghan and the children should get the chance to visit his father, King Charles, as reported by Page Six.
The reunion would be especially meaningful for the youngsters, as Prince Archie (7) and Princess Lilibet (5) have had little contact with their grandfather so far. Insiders say Harry wants to change that.
The family hasn’t visited Harry’s home together for years. Meghan last traveled to the UK in 2022 for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
The Sussex children also haven’t been to England in years, so their relatives there are barely known to them.
And there’s a good reason for that: when Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US, they lost their publicly funded police protection.
Since then, Harry has been fighting to have it reinstated. A few months ago, reports suggested that the odds of regaining his protection were looking good, and a fresh, comprehensive review of security measures could make it possible.
Prince Harry and Prince William remain at odds
However, the dispute over his personal security has yet to be fully resolved. Although he would like to bring his family back to his homeland, sources emphasize that no concrete plans have been made so far.
If the security issue is settled, the chances are high that Meghan and the children will accompany him.
According to a source, the Sussexes would meet only Charles on the trip – a reunion with Harry’s estranged brother, William, is apparently not up for discussion.
Reports that Harry no longer has his brother’s phone number are, according to the sources,
“nonsense.”
Nevertheless, William is said to remain angry about the 41‑year‑old’s public statements and accusations against the royal family. In his book, Harry claimed, among other things, that his older brother had thrown him to the ground during an argument.
The Duke of Sussex has long desired peace with his family, not least because of his father’s cancer diagnosis.
“Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has,” Harry said a few months ago.
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight any more.”
