During his trip to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral, Prince Harry will stay in a hotel, marking his first UK visit since relocating to the U.S. This visit will also take place without Meghan Markle, amidst a challenging time for the royal family.
Prince Harry will stay in a hotel during his visit to London for the 10-year anniversary reception of the Invictus Games, set to take place at St Paul’s Cathedral. His accommodation choice follows the fact that, having relocated to the U.S., he no longer maintains a residence in the UK. During this visit, he is not scheduled to stay at Buckingham Palace.
This trip marks Harry’s presence in the UK without Meghan Markle, who last visited in September 2022 for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. The couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, were last in the UK for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June of the previous year, a significant event that also celebrated Lilibet’s first birthday at Frogmore Cottage.
The visit comes at a time when King Charles, Prince Harry’s father, is undergoing treatment for cancer. Following the London event, Harry and Meghan plan to travel to Nigeria, accepting an invitation by the Nigerian Chief of Defence staff. Meghan has expressed a personal interest in visiting Nigeria, reflecting on her Nigerian ancestry.
The Invictus Games, a pivotal initiative by Prince Harry, focuses on aiding the recovery of wounded veterans through sports and community. His upcoming trip is expected to be brief as it precedes his planned visit to Nigeria with Meghan.
