Prince Harry is set to return to the UK on this date following reports of canceling his visit | Global News

Prince Harry is set to make a highly anticipated return to the United Kingdom for a special ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The event, scheduled for Wednesday, 8 May, will take place at London’s iconic St Paul’s Cathedral, where the Duke of Sussex is expected to deliver a reading.

This marks Prince Harry’s first visit to the UK since February, when he visited his father, King Charles, following the monarch’s cancer diagnosis. Buckingham Palace recently announced that the King has responded positively to treatment and will soon resume his public royal duties.

Despite residing in the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children Archie and Lilibet since 2020, Prince Harry’s upcoming trip signifies a significant moment as he reconnects with his British roots. It remains unclear whether Meghan and their children will accompany him on this journey.

The ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral will also feature readings by British actor Damian Lewis and will be attended by wounded veterans and members of the Invictus community. Organizers have described the event as a reflection on “a decade of changing lives and saving lives through sport.”

Prince Harry’s return to the UK comes amidst ongoing speculation about his security concerns, with reports suggesting that he had considered scrapping the visit due to safety issues. However, his presence at this important event demonstrates his commitment to honoring the Invictus Games and supporting the veterans who have benefited from the initiative.
