Prince and Harry Meghan’s royal return to UK: Duke and Duchess of Sussex accept King Charles’ big offer

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle have accepted an invitation from King Charles III to stay at a royal residence, at least in part, during their forthcoming visit to England.

As The Duke, 41, and Duchess of Sussex, 44, prepare for their first return as a couple to the United Kingdom in four years, they intend to stay at a combination of both royal residences and private accommodations, as confirmed by a representative for the couple in a news release shared with USA TODAY.

No further details regarding their accommodations during the trip, scheduled from July 7 to July 11, have been disclosed.

Representatives for Sussex have refrained from commenting on whether the couple intends to meet with King Charles III or other members of the royal family. USA TODAY has reached out to Buckingham Palace for a statement.

The most recent occasion that Harry and Meghan were together in the United Kingdom was in September 2022, during the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, which signified the conclusion of the monarch’s 70-year reign.

In 2020, the couple stepped back from their positions as senior working royals in a decision commonly referred to as “Megxit,” a term that plays on Brexit, the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. They currently reside in California with their two children.
