Harry, Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, are believed to be flying into the country privately from California, where the couple has lived since 2020.
A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess told BBC News that ‘this is not something we would comment on’.
The pair are not expected to resume official duties.

Instead, they will live here as private citizens and will be classed as non-working royals.
They are thought to have found accommodation in the Cotswolds and to have already enrolled Archie and Lilibet in a local school ahead of the start of the autumn term next week.
Sources ‘close to the Sussexes’ told the paper that the couple did not expect their move to be ‘for ever’.
One told the publication: ‘It’ll be an extended period of time — it could be six months, it could be a year, it could be more — I don’t think even they know yet.’
They added: ‘They might suddenly go: “Why don’t we try Canada for a while? Why don’t we try Australia?”‘
Being in the UK will make it easier for Harry to spend time with his father, King Charles, and introduce his family to his other relatives, having been estranged from many of them since he stepped back from royal duties with Meghan six years ago.
Royal expert Duncan Lanscombe previously told Metro he ‘can’t see any reconciliation with [Prince] William as far as things stand’ after Harry and Meghan made a number of accusations aimed at him and his wife, Kate Middleton, in TV appearances.
He said: ‘Harry told [ITV] in his interview, that the ball was effectively in the royal court – it was for them to reach out.
‘I think William feels the exact opposite and that he’s owed an apology, his wife’s owed an apology, and if Harry and Meghan don’t give that apology and make the effort, I don’t think there’s any hope for the end of the rift.’
