Prince Harry is scheduled to return to the UK to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral. This visit has sparked discussions regarding his reception by the Royal Family amid ongoing tensions. Speculation remains rife about whether Harry’s trip will facilitate a reconciliation with his family, particularly with his brother, now Prince William, Prince of Wales. Royal expert Angela Levin has expressed skepticism about the potential for significant reconciliation due to the brief nature of Harry’s visit, as he is set to travel to Nigeria shortly thereafter.

Concurrently, Meghan Markle has decided not to accompany Harry to the UK, instead focusing on engagements in Nigeria, amid concerns about her reception in Britain. Notably, a recent Ipsos poll indicates that only 25% of British adults view Meghan favorably.

In other royal news, King Charles, recently recovered from cancer treatment, is preparing to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his Coronation with military festivities in central London. However, the joy of this occasion is tempered by his disappointment over not being able to celebrate his grandson Archie Harrison’s birthday. Archie and his sister, Princess Lilibet Diana, reside in California with their parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. King Charles reportedly longs for a closer bond with these grandchildren, similar to his relationship with Prince William’s children.

The state of affairs within the Royal Family continues as a dynamic narrative, highlighted by both personal milestones and public engagements.
