Prince Harry is reportedly set to return to the US after his father’s coronation ceremony, rather than staying to celebrate his son Archie’s fourth birthday, as previously thought.
The decision is said to be linked to an ongoing legal battle with the Home Office over their decision to strip him of UK security following his exit from the Royal Family in 2020.
This means that he will not attend the King’s Coronation concert on May 7, instead flying back home to California.
Harry, 38, had confirmed last week that he would attend his father’s coronation, which is set to take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey.
His wife Meghan Markle, 41, and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will remain in California.
Harry will meet some members of the Royal Family for the first time since his book and Netflix series, which have been highly critical of the institution.
It is said that the loss of his round-the-clock protection from armed police has been a key factor in his decision to return to the US.
Harry is involved in an ongoing High Court action with the Home Office over their decision to strip him of his security.
The Mirror had previously reported that Harry would rush back to California to celebrate Archie’s birthday, but new information suggests otherwise.
