Prince Harry
Harry and Meghan's UK visit has turned into a disaster before it has even begun in a crisis of the couple's own making, it has been suggested. It is believed that an offer for the Sussexes to use a royal residence has not even been accepted. A source told The Daily Mail: "For the sake of family harmony the Palace would have been perfectly happy with a peaceful and low-key visit. Yet, once again, they have turned it into a soap opera. It's tiresome."
The newspaper also referenced a pronouncement from Meghan and Harry that the prince was considering leaving his wife and children in California over security arrangements. A source told The Guardian: "Their plans to see family... and visit charitable causes close to the duke's heart have been pulled out from under their feet at the 11th hour. He's looking at every option to get the family here safely."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be coming back to the UK next month for the first time in four years. Harry had planned to be joined by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on his five-day trip to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games in Birmingham.

Princess Catherine climbed the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – finishing the demanding route within 24 hours over the weekend.
She undertook the trekking challenge on her own, with support from Mountain Rescue along the way, to raise funds for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
Whilst on Ben Nevis, Catherine met Ted Haslam, a young wheelchair user who also took on the Three Peaks Challenge that day.

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.
It seems that the trip is morphing into a disaster before it has even started, as it has been claimed that plans have been pulled out from under the Sussexes’ feet at the last minute.
The 44-year-old celebrated finishing the intense challenge this weekend, with many of her relatives - including her three children - congratulating her at the finish line.
Royal Ascot – the highlight of the British summer social calendar and an event the sisters have regularly attended in the past – ran from June 16 to June 20, but Beatrice and Eugenie were nowhere to be seen in either the carriage procession or in the Royal Box to watch the horse races.

The children, who have grown up in America, have not stepped foot in Britain since 2022, and will no doubt be excited to see their father’s home country. It is believed the visit will allow them to spend time with certain royal relatives too, including King Charles.
Andrew is also said to have insisted staff should continue addressing him by his former royal title despite relinquishing it in October 2025 and no longer being a working royal.
