Prince Harry is expected to attend an Invictus Games event without any of his family by his side when he flies back to the UK next week.

The Duke of Sussex will fly to England for the first time since he rushed back to London in February after King Charles announced his cancer diagnosis.

Harry was already set to attend the event at St Paul’s Cathedral without his wife Meghan Markle, but it also appears no other senior members of the royal family will be in attendance.

Neither the Sussexes’ office nor Buckingham Palace have confirmed any plans for Harry to meet with either his brother Prince William, sister-in-law Princess Kate, or his father King Charles.

He will give a reading at the Invictus Games event on May 8 to mark its 10th anniversary, but no mention has been made of the attendance of any senior royal or his wife and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

It is thought Harry will stay in a hotel during his stay in the UK – as he done on his previous recent visits – before days later jetting off to Nigeria to join Meghan.
