No senior members of the royal family are expected to join Prince Harry to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in the UK, according to a report.
The Duke of Sussex is gearing up to return to London on May 8 for the first time since his visit to see King Charles after his cancer diagnosis in February.
It’ll be his first trip to his home soil since learning of his sister-in-law Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis last month.
But unfortunately for Harry, 39, Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace officials have not confirmed any indication of a royal reunion being on the cards during his trip, the Telegraph reports.
The father of two is expected to give a reading at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 to mark a decade since the inaugural Invictus Games in the capital.
Actor Damian Lewis is set to recite the Invictus poem during the service.
Harry launched the Invictus Games in 2014 as multi-sport Paralympic-styled games for wounded or injured servicemen and veterans.
It is thought that Harry will stay at a hotel during his upcoming trip — something Harry opted to do during his blink-and-you-miss-it trip to London in February.
The celebratory service will take place two days after Harry and his wife Meghan Markle’s son, Prince Archie, celebrates his 5th birthday. That same day, Charles will mark a year since the Coronation.
It’s also believed that the trip will be yet another solo venture for Harry.
It was reported that Harry was considering pulling the plug on the trip altogether over safety concerns.
In February, Harry and the “Suits” alum, 42, were stripped of funded police protection after they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.
This means that the Sussexes will now have to pay out of pocket for their security when traveling across the pond.
Still, the couple are gearing up to visit Nigeria just days after Harry’s planned London trip.
The duo, who quit royal life in 2020 and hightailed it across the pond, were invited to Nigeria by the west African country’s chief of defense staff — its highest ranking military official.
There, the couple will meet service members and their families, and will participate in traditional cultural practices, according to local media.
