Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing for a major family milestone this summer. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to bring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the United Kingdom in July, marking the first time the family of four will visit British soil together in four years.<\/p>\n

The trip, confirmed by multiple British and American media outlets, coincides with the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027, where Harry is expected to carry out a series of engagements connected to the tournament he founded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond the official duties, however, the visit is expected to include a highly anticipated family reunion with King Charles III.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the King is eager to spend time with his grandchildren, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, whom he has not seen in person since 2022.<\/p>\n

Why Prince Harry has no plans to meet Prince William:<\/p>\n

While the visit could provide an opportunity for family reconciliation, royal experts say there are currently no plans for Harry to meet his older brother, Prince William.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy understanding is there\u2019s no plan for him to meet with his brother,\u201d our sister publication, HELLO!\u00a0<\/a>told Us Weekly. \u201cThere\u2019s no communication there at present time and it\u2019s very sad for all involved, but they\u2019re both very busy, getting on with their lives, and I think Harry does have a bit more of a relationship with his father, so perhaps he will focus his efforts there for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was also reported that the communication between the brothers remains virtually nonexistent, with neither side reportedly making efforts to arrange a meeting during Harry’s stay.<\/p>\n

\nA different relationship with King Charles:<\/p>\n

Although tensions with William remain unresolved, Harry is believed to maintain a more active relationship with King Charles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it would have to mean their diaries matching up perfectly, and they\u2019re being willing on both sides,\u201d the publication said about a potential father-son meeting.<\/p>\n

The pair briefly reunited in September 2025, marking their first in-person meeting in two years. According to the publication, the gathering was described by insiders as \u201csuper positive and very relaxed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[They were] catching up personally about the children and what has been going on with Charles and his health,\u201d a source told the publication. \u201cThere were hugs and tears at the meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The July trip will be especially significant for Archie and Lilibet. The Sussex children have not visited the United Kingdom since Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.<\/p>\n
