Prince Harry to Celebrate 40th Birthday with Key UK Visit Without Meghan Markle
Prince Harry has reportedly planned a month-long trip to the UK without his “beloved” wife, Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex aims to visit his estranged family and mark his 40th birthday with his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, and other family members.
According to a recent report, Harry is eager to reconnect with his father and spend time with his aunt Princess Anne and friends to celebrate his milestone birthday. A source close to Harry revealed that he is keen to use this visit to mend relationships within his family.
The insider explained that Meghan Markle has no plans to join Harry on this trip. “Harry is going to have to return to the UK solo as it makes sense for him to take a longer trip,” the source told Closer. They noted that Meghan, who has vowed never to set foot in the UK again after Megxit, will not accompany him.
“He’s convinced that if he spends a longer period of time there, he’ll have a better chance to reconnect with his family,” the source added. The insider further shared that Harry is “very anxious to go home and see his dad, catch up with his friends for his birthday in September, and also pay a visit to his aunt, Princess Anne.”
This planned visit underscores Harry’s ongoing desire to maintain ties with his family despite the geographical and emotional distance that has grown since Megxit. His month-long stay in the UK represents a significant effort to bridge gaps and re-establish connections that have been strained in recent years.
As Harry prepares for this solo trip, the spotlight will be on his interactions with his family and whether this extended stay will help in healing the rifts that have marked his departure from royal duties.
