Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly currently travelling around Europe with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The latest getaway appears to signal that the young royals will be in the UK next month, despite the fresh fears over the family's security when they travel to Britain.

The family will reportedly be travelling to the UK later this week, with the family said to be in Harry's home country for one week. Harry's automatic right to police protection was removed after he stepped down as working royal, with the royal then moving to start a new life with his family in the US.

The 41-year-old was told that he would have to give the Royal and VIP Executive Committee 30 days' notice of any planned visit to the UK, along with his schedule.

It was previously reported that Harry had become "increasingly frustrated" that a review into his request for taxpayer-funded security was taking more than six months.

He has now been left distraught after his request was denied, just days before the Sussex family were due to travel to the UK.

Their upcoming visit will be Archie and Lilibet's first time in Britain since June 2022. The siblings' previous visits took place during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which also coincided with Lilibet's first birthday.

Archie was also reunited with his paternal grandfather during the visit, with King Charles meeting his granddaughter in person for the first time.

Speaking just days after Harry's request was denied, a source close to the Duke said: "He has grown increasingly frustrated with the whole process and has had to alter his standpoint. From initially being told a decision would be made within a matter of weeks, it is now more than six months on.

"He was determined to travel back to the UK with his family around the Invictus event, so he has finally made the decision to accept the offer of staying at a royal residence, which he believes will be sufficient for this trip."

The Duke of Sussex will be at the one-year countdown event in Birmingham on July 10.
