Prince Harry is hoping to bring Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK "within weeks," but there is one royal he will reportedly not be meeting.
Sources have suggested Harry wants to bring his family to the UK when he visits in July to promote the one year countdown to the Invictus Games, which is to be held in Birmingham next year.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, is said to be particularly eager for his children to spend time with their grandfather, King Charles. Sources have suggested that while Harry would like his family to accompany him, "no firm plans" have been made.

The source also told Page Six there is "no chance" of Harry and Prince William meeting.
Harry has publicly expressed his hesitation to bring Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to Britain due to security concerns. He was stripped of police protection when he and Meghan, 44, stepped down as senior, working royals in 2020 and relocated to the United States.

The prince lost a legal challenge last year to have his police security restored, though it is understood the Home Office is reviewing whether he should automatically receive police protection during UK visits.

He told the BBC in May last year that he felt devastated to have lost an appeal over his security. At the time, the Duke said he could not see a world in which he would bring his wife and children back to the UK.
Sources told Page Six that Harry and his legal team have not received an update from the Home Office. Harry is scheduled to be in the country to participate in events marking a 12-month countdown to the Birmingham Invictus Games. The celebrations are set for July 10-17.

While Archie was born in Britain, both he and his sister have seldom visited. Lilibet, five, has been to the UK once. She and Archie, seven, were in London for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.
The last time Harry and William met was in September 2022 when Elizabeth II died.
William and Harry shared a close bond for years, but in recent times, relations have become strained. Sources claim the Prince of Wales was furious about allegations leveled against him and Kate Middleton in Harry and Meghan's book, Spare.
Meghan, who is mixed race, also told US talk show host Oprah Winfrey that she experienced racism as a royal, including questions raised behind palace walls about Archie's skin color before he was born.
William defended the royals, telling reporters the Windsors are "very much not a racist family."
