Prince Harry has arrived in London from Los Angeles to participate in the Invictus Games events and a thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Games’ inception. During his visit, which he undertakes alone without his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Harry is expected to meet his father, King Charles. Their last encounter occurred in February following the King’s diagnosis with cancer.

The visit includes various commitments related to the Invictus Games, an initiative founded by Prince Harry in 2014 to support the rehabilitation of wounded, injured, or sick military personnel and veterans through sports. As part of the ceremonies, Harry will give a reading and actor Damian Lewis will recite the Invictus poem at the service.

Amidst ongoing tensions within the royal family, the visit offers a potential opportunity for reconciliation or discussions between Prince Harry and King Charles. However, the King’s packed schedule may limit the possibility for an extended meeting.

Following his commitments in London, Prince Harry and Meghan are scheduled to travel to Nigeria at the invitation of the country’s chief of defence staff.

The events and engagements in London and the forthcoming travel plans are further developments in Prince Harry’s life after relocating to the United States in 2020, following his and Meghan’s decision to step back from their royal duties.
