Prince Harry briefly returned to the UK last July for the unveiling of a statue dedicated to his mother Princess Diana and his spokesperson said on Friday that he hoped to visit his grandmother the Queen soon.
According
to report, the Duke of Sussex will not attend the Duke of Edinburgh's memorial
service in London on 29 March, his spokesperson has said.
A reason
was not given for his planned absence but Prince Harry pursued a legal
challenge against the Home Office after being told he would no longer be given
the "same degree" of personal protective security when visiting from
the US, despite offering to pay for it himself.
A legal
representative for the prince has previously said he wanted to bring his
children Archie and Lilibet from their home in the US, but feared it could be
too dangerous.
Harry
married US actress Meghan Markle - now known as the Duchess of Sussex - at
Windsor Castle in May 2018.
The
couple, who quit their roles as senior working royals in March 2020, are no
longer actively using their HRH titles, and now live in California.
Also on
Friday, it was announced that the Queen, 95, who contracted COVID-19 just over
two weeks ago, will not attend the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster
Abbey on Monday.
Her eldest
son and heir Prince Charles will attend in her place, Buckingham Palace said.
