Harry, Meghan Announce Surprise Return to U.K. in September

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced a surprise visit to the U.K. and Germany in early September to undertake a round of charity engagements.

The four-day trip will include two visits to organizations in Britain, marking the couple’s first return to the country since the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II in June.

A spokesperson for the couple confirmed on Monday that: “Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to visit with several charities close to their hearts in early September.”

The couple’s visit to Europe will take place from September 5 to 8 and include stays in the U.K. and Germany where Harry’s 2023 Invictus Games are being staged in Dusseldorf.

The tour will begin in the British city of Manchester on September 5 for the One Young World 2022 summit. The organization, which focusses on fostering and mentoring young people to become empowered leaders in their communities, has a close association with Meghan which pre-dates her marriage to Harry.

Meghan served as a Counsellor in One Young World Summits in 2014 in Dublin, 2016 in Ottawa and also attended the opening ceremony of the summit held in London in 2019.

The second engagement of the tour will take place in Dusseldorf on September 6 to mark the one year way-point to the 2023 Invictus Games which will be held in the city.

Both Harry and Meghan have attended the games since their relationship became public in 2016, most recently visiting The Netherlands for the 2022 events in April.

The final charity visit of the tour is scheduled back in Britain on September 8 with a visit to the WellChild Awards 2022. The awards celebrate the inspirational journeys and achievements of seriously ill children and young people across the U.K. Harry and Meghan attended the awards in person in 2018 and 2019.

It is not yet known whether the couple will travel to Europe with their two children; Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1.
