The Duke of Sussex is weighing a return to the UK with his family, with any visit dependent on the outcome of a dispute over his security arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Prince Harry is expected back in Britain in July for a series of engagements, but uncertainty\u00a0remains\u00a0over whether his wife and children will\u00a0accompany\u00a0him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those close to the duke say he wants to spend time with his father, King Charles, and would welcome an invitation to stay at Sandringham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A visit to the Norfolk estate is seen as one\u00a0option\u00a0that could allow the Sussex family to reunite on British soil.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The duke has made clear he will not bring his children to the UK without what he considers adequate protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry lost access to publicly funded police security after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He has since challenged that decision through the courts and is awaiting the outcome of a fresh review.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he\u00a0was invited by the King, he would get a package of security that automatically kicks in,\u201d a friend of the duke told the Sunday Times.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019d\u00a0like an invite to Sandringham. Would he go? It would\u00a0depend on\u00a0who was there. If the King\u00a0was\u00a0to say, \u2018Come up and spend some time with the family\u2019,\u00a0he\u2019d\u00a0love that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The situation has limited family contact in recent years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry has seen the King only twice in the past two years, including a brief meeting in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pair last met on September 10 for around 50 minutes at Clarence House while the duke was in London for charity work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite that, communication has continued.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The King\u00a0and\u00a0his\u00a0son have spoken several times, though they did not meet during Harry\u2019s most recent visit in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n
King\u00a0Charles, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, traditionally spends part of the summer at Balmoral but is also known to stay at Sandringham in July.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The duke\u2019s children have not visited the UK since 2022.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry\u2019s position\u00a0remains\u00a0tied to the outcome of the government review into his security status.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Royal and VIP Executive Committee is expected to\u00a0determine\u00a0whether enhanced protection will be granted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is not a world in which he brings the kids back unless there is an enhanced security package around them,\u201d a friend of Prince Harry\u2019s told the Sunday Times.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the King wants to see the kids, all he needs to do is invite them over and it can happen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are lots of scenarios to make it work, but\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0all out of Harry\u2019s hands. No father would want to put their kids at any risk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The review process is ongoing, with government officials consulting multiple stakeholders before making a final decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When in the UK, Harry currently relies on privately funded security.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police protection is only provided during official events attended at the request of the King.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The duke has previously said he wants his children to spend time in Britain and understand their family background.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His return in July will include events linked to the Invictus Games and his work with the\u00a0WellChild\u00a0charity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
