Harry And Meghan To Return To The UK In September For Next Diana Event?

The year marks multiple visits back home for Prince Harry. Credible sources suggest that the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle could be traveling to the UK very soon for another important royal gig to pay tributes to Harry’s mum late Princess Diana in another memorial event.

While things are still at a nascent stage, the grapevine has it that the visit has been scheduled for September. While Harry’s flown down to meet his family twice this year, it’s remarkable to note how Meghan would be joining him in the forthcoming visit, reports The Sun. Rumors are rife that the event is likely to be a grand do, with the Royal Family expecting over 100 friends and charity leaders to grace the function. The exact date for the next memorial is yet to be confirmed.

The news of Harry and his wife’s next visit comes barely days after he returned to the United States, after the unveiling of Diana’s statue at the Kensington Palace Thursday on what would’ve been her 60th birthday. Meghan couldn’t make it to the iconic do—as was the case with Prince Philip’s funeral— and she stayed back at their Montecito pad with their two kids, Archie and newborn Lilibet.

The event was a strictly private and subdued affair, in keeping with the pandemic’s restrictions. While insiders hoped for a miracle at the statue unveiling, given William and Harry’s ongoing cold war, things didn’t seem too surprising— the animosity was evident. “There were no peace talks and distance remains there,” cited a source to the outlet. “It is a step forward but this was not the time or the place,” added the source.

On the upside, unlike how icy things were at grandpa Prince Philip’s funeral, Diana’s statue unveiling saw the brothers beside each other, as they stood shoulder to shoulder.

Harry who’s been flying in and out of the UK on account of multiple important family events, has made it a point to never overstay. The same was evidenced in his recent trip to the UK that lasted about a week, including a self-isolation phase of five days at the Frogmore Cottage just to ensure he wasn’t a carrier of the virus before attending the statue reveal at the Sunken Garden, reported Mirror.

While the royal family continues to reel under the aftermath of Harry and Meghan’s public outcries, things have certainly gotten better with Harry’s frequent short visits. Sources cite that the brothers clearly harbor a desire to ease the royal rift, as was evidenced at their mum’s statue unveiling, which saw the Dukes share a glass of bubbly after the event. Harry also seized the function as an opportune moment to re-connect with members from his mother’s side.
