A royal family reunion could be on the cards after a dramatic U-turn.
Meghan Markle, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet are expected to touch down in the UK after their travel plans were reportedly scrapped last week.
Prince Harry arrived in his homeland on July 6 solo to promote next year’s Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham.

The Telegraph reported last weekend that the royals pulled the pin on the trip when they were unable to secure adequate police protection.
Last year, Prince Harry lost a legal challenge against a government decision to remove the automatic police protection afforded to him after he stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to the United States with Meghan.
However, on Friday, The Telegraph said that the family had U-turned on the decision and Prince Harry’s wife and children would now be visiting for the tail-end of his trip.
It would be the first time the Duchess of Sussex has visited the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September, 2022.
The family are not expected to make any public appearances during the visit.
The rumour mills are now swirling that Meghan, Harry, and their children will reunite with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
It is understood that the King has not seen his grandchildren since Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
The announcement of the family’s visit comes days after Prince Harry and several other high-profile British figures lost a privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail’s publisher.
He and the other claimants, including singer Elton John, alleged dozens of stories about them published by Associated Newspapers in the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday from the 1990s to 2011 were based on information which had been obtained unlawfully.
Harry said the judgement was “a complete and obvious whitewash”, in a statement issued on behalf of him and fellow claimant Doreen Lawrence, whose son Stephen was murdered by a gang of white men in a notorious racist attack in 1993.
Associated said Tuesday’s ruling was “an overwhelming victory for the Daily Mail and its journalists and for a free press generally”, adding that it would seek its legal costs after a trial it said cost more than 50 million pounds ($A96 million) in total.
