A source added of his visit: “He is excited to be on the ground, helping his organisations where he can. He’s pumped for the visit, he’s happy.”

Legal Setback and Return After Four-Month Hiatus

This trip will mark Prince Harry’s first return to the UK since May 2025, when he faced a major legal defeat.

The Duke had been battling to reinstate taxpayer-funded armed police protection for himself, Meghan, and their children during UK visits.

The case focused on a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), which determined he would be granted a different level of security instead.

However, the Court of Appeal ultimately rejected his claim, with Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls, dismissing his appeal.

As a result, taxpayer-funded armed guards will not automatically be provided to Harry, Meghan, or their children while they are in the UK.
