Prince Harry would most certainly return to the UK, even if it is without his wife Meghan Markle, according to Royal Correspondent Richard Palmer of the Express’s Royal Round-Up.

“I think he needs to stay onboard publically at least with the Queen.

“He has been very clear in trying to distinguish between criticism he and Meghan have made of the institution with criticism of the Queen.

“I think they have avoided criticising the Queen.”

In the meantime, Prince Harry is preparing to head to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.

On Wednesday, the Duke of Sussex stunned UK athletes with a video conference.

Prince Harry told captain Rachel Williamson: “So far it seems like you are doing well, but the fact that they are all sitting down…” – to which she chuckled.

And he went on asking: “Are you excited? Are you nervous?”

Ms Williamson said that she felt nervous and excited at the same time.

Prince Harry then went to ask the very quiet team: “Is everyone excited or are people nervous?”

In a state of perplexity about how to respond to the question, Harry responded with an awkward silence before the team began cheering.
