Harry and Meghan set to visit UK next month for charity events

Next month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will travel to the UK to participate in charitable events “dear to their hearts.”

On September 5, they will participate in the One Young World Summit in Manchester, which brings together young leaders from over 190 nations.

Prince Harry and Meghan will also attend an Invictus Games event in Germany when they are there.

The couple’s most recent visit to the UK was in June for the Platinum Jubilee festivities.

The Sussexes, who stepped down as senior royals in January 2020, live in California.

They kept a low-key presence during the celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee – watching the Trooping the Colour parade in London from a window and not taking part in the carriage procession.

A spokesperson for the couple said they are “delighted” to be visiting the UK.

The Duchess, who will give a keynote address at the opening ceremony, is a counselor for One Young World, among others including Jamie Oliver, Sir Richard Branson, and Justin Trudeau.

Prince Harry and Meghan will return to the UK on 8 September for the WellChild Awards in London where the duke will make a speech.

Before that, they will attend the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 One Year to Go event.

The duke was inspired to set up the Invictus Games after seeing a similar event in the US were injured and retired service personnel competed.

The first competition was held in London in 2014, with the following games being held in the US, Canada, and Australia.

Prince Harry is currently involved in a legal battle with the Home Office over his security arrangements in the UK.

He has asked for a review of the decision to not allow him to pay for police protection for himself and his family while in the country.

The Platinum Jubilee was the first time the duke and duchess had made an appearance together at a royal engagement since 2020.

The couple visited the Queen in April on their way to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands.

Before this, Prince Harry was last reported to be in the UK in the previous July, while Meghan was not thought to have been in the country since 2020.
