On Wednesday, in conjunction with a significant royal event, the Duke of Sussex is anticipated to arrive in the United Kingdom.
The King’s Garden Party, the first of the season, is scheduled to take place at Buckingham Palace, though the guests’ identities have not yet been revealed.

In honour of the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014, Prince Harry will be returning to London for a Thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8th. This was confirmed at the beginning of the week.
“The Invictus Games Foundation will celebrate 10 years of changing lives and saving lives with a Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8th,” the official Invictus Games Instagram account posted in a statement.
The message went on to say: “We will be joined by our Patron, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, actor Damian Lewis and members of the worldwide Invictus Community to mark the occasion.”
Harry will be visiting the UK for the first time since his February cancer diagnosis, when he travelled to see his father, King Charles.
Less than a day had passed since Buckingham Palace had announced the King’s condition.

The 39-year-old father of two was then seen travelling to London’s Clarence House, where he spent about 45 minutes talking with his father before the King took off for Sandringham by helicopter.
The brief reunion marked the father and son’s first significant time together following Queen Elizabeth II’s passing in September 2022.
Despite being present at his father’s coronation in May of last year, Harry and his father are believed to have had little communication as a result of the controversy surrounding the Duke’s enlightening memoir Spare. It is unknown if Prince Archie, age four, and Princess Lilibet, age two, the Duke’s two children, will travel to the UK with him. The Duke is married to Meghan Markle.

When the Duchess and her husband travelled to Manchester for the One Young World summit in September 2022, it was their last trip to his native country. She was scheduled to attend the WellChild Awards, but due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Harry’s grandmother, she was unable to attend.
In order for Prince Harry and Meghan to attend Her Late Majesty’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey in London, their visit to the UK was extended.

Meghan is unlikely to visit the UK anytime soon, according to The Telegraph’s Royal Editor Hannah Furness, who discusses this in the most recent episode of HELLO!’s A Right Royal Podcast.
