Prince Harry is back in the UK for four days this week, having landed at Heathrow Airport on Monday morning – the third year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. The Duke of Sussex, 40, so far has been busy since landing, having travelled to Windsor this morning to lay flowers at the late Queen’s grave.

The duke then attended The Wellchild Awards 2025 in London – a charity the prince is pleased to be patron of. While this is just the start of a busy four days for the prince, who flew back to his home country without his wife Meghan Markle by his side, the duke will no doubt have some time to relax. However, with reports suggesting the duke will not be staying at a royal palace, he will no doubt be relaxing elsewhere. Here at Express.co.uk we have looked at three places the duke may choose to stay this week…

Prince Louis has been capturing the hearts of the nation for years with his cheeky antics, whether that be dancing on the Buckingham Palace balcony, pulling funny faces or ignoring orders from his older siblings. While Louis, seven, often steals the show at royal events, especially the annual Trooping the Colour, he is not so successful at stealing attention online.

This is because new data has shown that Prince Louis is one of the least googled royals – a major surprise considering how much the public adore him. In new data looking at who were the most googled members of the Royal Family between September 2024 and August 2025, it has been revealed that Louis was among the royals searched the least. In just less than a year, the data from Click Intelligence shows that Prince William and Princess Kate’s youngest son was only searched 71,700 times online.

Queen Elizabeth would have been “absolutely devastated” about her son, King Charles’s relationship with two key members of the Royal Family, a royal expert has claimed. The beloved monarch died three years ago today at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96.

Queen Elizabeth was close with all of her grandchildren, including Prince William and Prince Harry. Despite the ongoing royal rift after his exit from the Firm in 2020, the Duke of Sussex rushed from Windsor to Balmoral in September 2022 following the announcement of the late Queen’s death.

Prince Harry is in the UK to conduct charity endeavours this week, but as tensions still remain strained between Royal Family members, Prince William has reportedly refused to see his brother while he is in the UK. Although senior aides to both the Duke of Sussex and King Charles met in London at a private members’ club, Prince William is said to have firmly declined any potential reunion with his brother.

A source told the Mirror: “William feels Harry has repeatedly chosen public exposure over private resolution and that the Royal Family can’t keep being dragged into the headlines every time there’s a new contract to promote.”

Earlier in the year we heard how the Princess of Wales wanted the focus to be on her work rather than her wardrobe. But despite her best efforts, the attention this week has not been on what she was wearing, but her hair colour. Kate, known for her luscious brunette hair, has returned from the summer with a new ‘bronde’ look.

We saw a glimpse of the makeover when she was snapped heading to church last month, but Thursday’s visit to the Natural History Museum marked the first time we got a proper look at the lighter locks. It is understood that she returned from a sun-soaked holiday with naturally lighter hair.

Prince Harry discussed the “challenging” relationship between siblings when he spoke to seriously ill youngsters at the 2025 WellChild Awards tonight. Harry cracked joked and delighted a young girl by challenging her to a balloon sword fight in a pre-ceremony reception with the prize winners and their families.

The conversation turned to sibling rivalry while chatting to Declan Bitmead, 17 – winner of the inspirational young person 15-18 years award. Harry quizzed him about family life, asking if he had siblings and the teenager replied he had a younger brother.

Sarah Ferguson has issued an emotional statement today on the three year anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Sarah, Duchess of York, was believed to have had a close relationship with the late monarch both when she was married to Prince Andrew, and even after they divorced.

Since the late Queen’s death in 2022, Sarah, 65, and her ex husband Prince Andrew, who she still lives with at Royal Lodge in Windsor, have taken care of Her Majesty’s remaining corgis Sandy and Muick. In a sweet statement today, Sarah said she remembers the late Queen everyday, with the dogs acting as a “daily reminder”. She also shared a photograph of the two dogs.

King Charles reportedly had an urgent phone call with Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed with him in Kingston last year. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles in January 2024 when they attended the One Love film premiere.

The couple were believed to have been invited by their good friend and neighbour Brian Robbins, Paramount CEO, and his wife Tracy James. However, this wasn’t known straight away. Instead, it was feared that the couple had been invited by Jamaica’s Prime Minister, who was photographed with the couple at the event. This, according to Theresa Roberts, Jamaica’s Ambassador/Special Investment Envoy for Culture and Arts in the United Kingdom, sparked panic within the Firm.

After day one of Prince Harry’s highly anticipated UK return, there is still no indication as to whether the King will grant him a meeting. The Duke of Sussex is understood to be desperate to meet his father, as the pair have not seen each other for 19 months.

But the King, who sources repeatedly state is a “forgiving man” and misses having a relationship with his youngest son, has a lot to consider. As both monarch and patriarch, he has to consider how the rest of the Royal Family will respond to a meeting, as many are still reeling from the damning attacks Harry has made in the five years since quitting the Firm.

Prince William spoke about his youngest son today as he attended a royal engagement with his wife Princess Kate. To mark the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited the National Federation of Women’s Institutes in tribute to the late Queen’s decades-long association with the organisation.

When spending time talking to the members of the organisation, William and Kate were asked about their three children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven. It was during this conversation when William, 43, was asked by Nina Derrick whether Louis is a “bit of a handful”. William responded that Louis, who is often seen being cheeky at big royal events, is a “very good boy”.

Prince Harry is attending the annual WellChild Awards ceremony in London this evening, with a series of pictures showcasing the Duke’s playful side. After arriving at the Royal Lancaster Hotel shortly after 4pm, the King’s youngest son went to meet some of this year’s winners.

This included nine-year-old Gwen Foster, who was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus and faces daily complex medical challenges. The pair engaged in a playful “sword fight” with yellow balloons.

Prince Archie may be just six-years-old, but it seems he has already developed a love for sport. As well as learning how to surf, the young prince also seems to be taking football lessons – something his royal cousins can relate to.

When sharing behind-the-scenes photographs from season two of “With Love, Meghan” just days ago, Meghan included sweet pictures of her and Prince Harry’s children. It was in one of these photographs that Archie was seen wearing a red football T-shirt, revealing the name of his football school.

Prince Harry is “more relaxed” without his wife Meghan Markle by his side, an expert has said. The Duke of Sussex, 40, has landed in the UK today for a series of engagements, beginning with the 2025 Wellchild Awards tonight.

The prince, who last visited the UK in April, disembarked from a plane at Heathrow Airport without Meghan, 44, by his side. He then went to Windsor, where he visited Queen Elizabeth II’s grave at St George’s Chapel three years on from her death. While Harry is expected to be in the UK for four days, it is believed the duchess has opted to remain at the couple’s Montecito home with their children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.

Prince Harry has arrived for the annual WellChild awards ceremony in London in his role as the charity’s patron, a position he has held for more than 15 years despite no longer being a working royal. Tonight, he will make a speech, meet and talk to seriously ill children and their families and present an award to an “inspirational child” aged between four and six.

The WellChild awards celebrate the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families. Harry has attended the awards 14 times before and has held the role of the charity’s patron for 17 years. The charity is one of the few the Duke has kept since stepping down as a senior working royal in January 2020.

Katharine, The Duchess of Kent, passed away on Thursday night at Kensington Palace. At the age of 92, Katharine achieved plenty in her life, both during her time as a working royal – a role she fulfilled until 2002 – and as an under-the-radar music teacher.

While she may have been a member of the Royal Family, the duchess also had a passion for music, which resulted in her being a music teacher at Wansbeck Primary School in Kingston upon Hull for almost a decade. It was here that she was simply known as Mrs Kent, with not many knowing about her royal status. Following her sad death, the Express has spoken to those who have had their lives changed by the duchess.

Princess Kate and Prince William returned to royal duty after spending the summer holidays with their three children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven. While the Prince and Princess of Wales tend to keep their children’s lives as private as possible, they do sometimes make sweet revelations about their family, much to the delight of royal fans.

This was the case last week when Kate and William, both 43, stepped out together on Thursday at the Natural History Museum for their first royal engagement of the autumn. After spending time at the museum, the future King and Queen spent time talking to members of the public who had gathered outside. One of the conversations was all about the royal children, resulting in Kate revealing a surprising fact about her oldest son, George.

Good afternoon. Royal reporter Jasmine Carey here and I will be bringing you the latest Royal Family updates today.

You can email me at [email protected].

Royal fans were delighted after Princess Kate made a surprise appearance alongside her husband, Prince William, in Berkshire today, to mark the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death.

The couple visited the National Federation of Women’s Institutes in Sunningdale, which was the future Queen’s third engagement in five days.

Kate visited the Natural History Museum’s gardens last Thursday before watching the Red Roses beat Australia 47-7 in their Women’s Rugby World Cup match in Brighton on Saturday.

Queen Elizabeth would have been “absolutely devastated” about her son, King Charles’s relationship with two key members of the Royal Family, a royal expert has claimed.

The beloved monarch died three years ago today at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96.

Queen Elizabeth was close with all of her grandchildren, including Prince William and Prince Harry.

Despite the ongoing royal rift after his exit from the Firm in 2020, the Duke of Sussex rushed from Windsor to Balmoral in September 2022 following the announcement of the late Queen’s death.

However, since then, Harry has made a number of solo visits back home, but has not returned with Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

And while Charles’s relationship with his grandchildren from Prince William’s side, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis is ever so close, the same cannot be said about Harry’s children, something which, according to an expert, would not sit well with the late Queen.

Prince Harry visited Queen Elizabeth II’s grave at St George’s Chapel, Windsor on Monday morning, shortly after his arrival back to the UK for a four-day visit.

The Duke was pictured arriving at Heathrow Airport earlier today for a short trip which will see him attend the annual WellChild Awards and make an appearance in Nottingham.

His arrival coincides with the three-year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing.

Prince William and Princess Kate spent the morning visiting the National Federation of Women’s Institute (WI) in Sunningdale to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The WI, one of the largest women’s organisations in the UK, holds a special connection to Her Late Majesty as she was a member for 80 years, joining in 1943 and serving as President of the Sandringham WI from 2003 until her death in 2022.

The Prince and Princess spent 45 minutes with ladies from the WI sharing special memories of the late Queen on the third anniversary of her death.

The Duke of Sussex has now arrived in the UK for his four-day visit.

Prince Harry was pictured being driven out of Heathrow Airport in a dark Range Rover.

He was spotted earlier at Los Angeles International Airport ahead of his attendance at the annual Wellchild Award ceremony in London this evening.

Prince Harry will be in the UK shortly as he is set to attend the WellChild Awards this evening, on September 8, and additional charity endeavours later in the week.

However, he will be travelling solo and his family will remain in America, including his two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke of Sussex previously said he did not believe it was safe for his family to visit after losing a battle with the Home Office over his level of security in May.

Prince Harry may be on his way back to the UK for the first time in months, and while some Brits view his return as a welcome change, the same can’t be said about his wife, Meghan Markle, according to the latest figures.

The Duke of Sussex will spend four days in his home country and carry out a series of engagements.

The Duke’s visit sparked speculation about whether his wife should join him or not, as the Duchess has not set foot in the UK since 2022, when she attended the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.

However, the Express asked readers if Meghan should take a major leap and return to her husband’s home country, and the response was overwhelmingly clear.

The Princess of Wales will be joining her husband to commemorate and celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth II today, on the third anniversary of her passing.

William was originally due to attend the engagement in Sunningdale alone, but it is understood Kate was keen to join her husband to celebrate the life of the late Queen.

Meghan Markle was criticised for missing a “golden opportunity” to advertise her As Ever products in the latest season of her Netflix show, in what’s been described as a “headache” for the streaming giant, which is also a partner for her lifestyle brand.

The Duchess of Sussex saw the second season of With Love, Meghan get released on August 26, but it flopped in rankings and reviews.

With Love, Meghan did not manage to climb into the streamer’s global Top 10 most-watched shows list during its debut week.

And now, according to a brand expert, this could cause Meghan to be faced with a Netflix headache, as the streaming giant could be worried about the actual profit from its partnership with the Duchess’s brand.

Prince William will mark the third anniversary of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth’s death, in a special way today as he is set to carry out a poignant engagement.

The late monarch plunged the nation into mourning when she passed away on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96.

Buckingham Palace have shared a picture of Queen Elizabeth II to mark the third anniversary of her death today.

The late monarch passed away three years ago, on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96.

This morning, Buckingham Palace took to its social media channels to share a picture of the beloved monarch and commemorate her death.

Prince Harry was urged to make a major move regarding his father, King Charles, as he heads back to the UK today.

The Duke of Sussex will return to his home country this week for the first time in five months.

He will attend the WellChild awards and show his support for BBC Children in Need. He will also revisit a community recording studio in Nottingham.

It is not known whether the Duke, who is estranged from his brother, the Prince of Wales, and has a troubled relationship with his father, the King, will stage a reunion during his stay.

Prince Harry has been pictured at Los Angeles International Airport as he heads to the UK for a four-day visit.

He was pictured this morning, ahead of his attendance at the annual Wellchild Award ceremony this evening.

Wearing a dark polo shirt, black jeans and dark sunglasses, the Duke of Sussex was accompanied by a couple of his security detail as he arrived at the airport.

But despite her best efforts, the attention last week had not been on what she was wearing, but on her hair colour.

Royal fans have been left baffled at Queen Camilla’s choice of attire at the Braemar Games, which marked the King and Queen’s first appearance since the death of the Duchess of Kent.

Katharine, Duchess of Kent, was a member of their extended family, as she was the wife of the late Queen’s cousin, the Duke of Kent.

The late royal had stepped away from her royal duties, but had devoted her duties to her passion for music and empathy for young peope and King Charles chose to pay his respects by wearing a all-black outfit and a tartan kilt.

Queen Camilla wore a blue dress with tartan undercoat and a striking beret with a feather in the cap.

Prince Harry has announced that he will undertake a series of engagements when he returns to the UK this week.

The Duke of Sussex, who stepped back as a working royal in 2020, is back in London for the annual Wellchild Awards on tonight, and on Tuesday, he will head to Nottingham to show his support for BBC Children in Need.

He will return to a community recording studio, which he last visited in October 2019 – just two months before he and the Duchess of Sussex announced they were stepping down as senior working royals and moving to North America.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of snubbing the late Queen Elizabeth II in her final years before her 2022 death.

In 2019, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were very much still working royals, however a royal author has suggested that they had begun to distance themselves from the Royal Family.

This is because the couple, who had their newborn son Prince Archie in 2019, declined two invites from the late Queen to join the Royal Family for special occasions that year, quitting royal life months later in early 2020.

Meghan Markle was “incredibly envious” of her sister-in-law Kate – now the Princes of Wales – after discovering royal life was not the fairy tale she imagined, royal commentator Ingrid Seward has claimed.

Ms Seward, editor of Majesty magazine and a longtime royal biographer, said Meghan “actually thought she was going to be a princess and live in Windsor Castle.”

Instead, simmering tensions with the wider Royal Family eventually resulted in the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry stepping down as frontline royals and moving to California in 2020.

Meghan and Harry were “stuck in Nottingham Cottage, which Harry used to call ‘my hovel,’” Ms Seward told the Daily Mail. She added that Meghan’s envy deepened as she watched William and Kate enjoy their “beautiful house” in Kensington Palace.

She added: “What should have been a fairy-tale life quickly soured into envy and resentment.”
