Prince Harry has made a major U-turn regarding bringing his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, back to the UK in a new interview. The Duke of Sussex has previously stated that he fears for his children’s safety when in the UK following his legal battle against the Home Office regarding his downgraded security in the country after his royal exit.
He said to the BBC back in May after he lost his High Court appeal challenge: “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.” But in a new interview following his four-day visit to the UK last week, the Duke revealed that Archie and Lilibet’s return to the UK could be closer than we think.
He told the Guardian whether he would bring his children back to the UK: “I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
It follows a week of attending various engagements in England linked to the Duke’s charities and patronages, as well as a meeting with King Charles at Clarence House.
The royal pair spent 55 minutes over tea for the first time in 19 months.
A source last week suggested the Duke is now more open to bringing his family back to his home country.
They told the Sunday Times: “He’s not given up hope on bringing his family back to the UK. He wants to be able to show his children where he grew up.
“He wants them to know their family here. He really would like to come back to the UK much more.”
The Duke is now back in the US after previously travelling to Ukraine following his UK trip.
