Prince Harry is set to make a solo trip back to the UK on May 8 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, according to sources close to the royal family. The Duke of Sussex is expected to attend various events and ceremonies during his visit, including a reading at St Paul’s Cathedral and a recitation of the famous poem “Invictus” by actor Damian Lewis.
However, it seems that Harry will be flying solo on this trip, as no senior members of the royal family are expected to join him for the occasion. The decision for Harry to travel alone may have been influenced by the fact that his wife Meghan Markle will not be accompanying him on the trip. The couple is reportedly scheduled to travel to Nigeria shortly after the London visit, where they have been invited by Nigeria’s chief of defense staff to meet with service members and take part in various cultural activities.
During his stay in London, Prince Harry is expected to stay at a hotel rather than at Buckingham Palace or another royal residence. This marks a departure from tradition, as members of the royal family typically stay at official residences during their official visits. Despite this break from convention, the trip is shaping up to be a meaningful and impactful one for the Duke of Sussex as he commemorates a decade of supporting wounded veterans through the Invictus Games.
