<\/p>\nPrince Harry mulls family trip to UK<\/h3>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
Prince Harry says he is still trying to bring his family to Britain next week, despite concerns of a “frenzy” as paparazzi attempt to snap rare photographs of his children.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n
Meghan, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, were expected to travel with the prince, but his spokesperson on Saturday, local time, said they had now dropped plans to travel to London.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Telegraph newspaper reported the decision was taken after a request for police protection was denied.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson added, however, that the family had not ruled out travelling elsewhere in Britain, including to Birmingham, where Harry is due to promote the 2027 Invictus Games.<\/p>\n
Harry ‘to explore every available option’<\/h2>\n Harry has repeatedly expressed a desire to bring his children to Britain, which they have not visited for several years, but has said concerns about security have complicated those plans.<\/p>\n
“The Duke continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK,” his spokesperson said earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last year, he 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 US with Meghan.<\/p>\n
The planned visit had raised the prospect of a rare meeting between Archie and Lilibet and their grandfather, King Charles, who has seen little of the children in recent years as relations between Harry and the royal family remain strained.<\/p>\n\n\n

His trip next week also coincides with a closely watched court ruling in his privacy claim against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
Harry is expected to attend engagements linked to the Invictus Games, the sporting competition for wounded and injured military veterans that he founded and which Birmingham will host in 2027.<\/p>\n
