Prince Harry’s UK bombshell ahead of return home with children: ‘Wants to start building a life here’

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex are reportedly set to return to the UK in May with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The family’s return would coincide with an anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 to mark the 10th anniversary of Harry’s Invictus Games.

Harry founded the initiative in 2014 to give injured or sick military personnel and veterans the challenge of competing in sporting events similar to the Paralympics.

While in the UK, the Duke of Sussex may also appear at the British Book Awards on May 13, as his memoir Spare has been nominated in two categories.

But according to an insider, Harry hopes the trip will allow his four-year-old and two-year-old to connect with their cousins — and to have a chance to meet their grandfather King Charles properly.

The reported May trip comes weeks after both Charles and Kate separately announced they were undergoing treatment for cancer.

“Harry and Meghan are planning a fifth birthday party for Archie at their Montecito home on 6 May and were then going to fly over to the UK on a private jet the following day,” a source told New Magazine.

“They were going to attend the Anniversary Service, followed by a few more days in the UK so the children could meet with members of Harry’s family.

“Harry would love for Archie and Lilibet to have a better relationship with their cousins or even the children of some of his friends.

“He feels like they have been away from the UK for far too long and wants to start building a life here. Not full-time, but a second home they can visit regularly.”

Harry and Meghan left the UK for the US in 2020 after stepping back as working royals.

The planning for the Sussex family’s return to Harry’s home country comes amid the controversy of the prince’s immigration status in the US.

Harry wrote in Spare about his former drug use, something legal experts have suggested should have been grounds for denying him a visa to America.

The estranged royal wrote of his past use of cocaine, magic mushrooms and marijuana, both in the UK and US.

The American conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation has been leading the charge to ascertain “in the public interest” whether Harry was “properly vetted” to enter the US.

The foundation had lodged a Freedom of Information request for the prince’s paperwork, in a bid to determine whether he had been “open or misleading” about previous drug use on his visa application.

According to a new report, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has now complied with the FOI request, by submitting to a court “declarations with attachments for ex parte in camera (in private) review”.

It is unknown what visa type the prince has.

Drug detail

In his memoir, Harry wrote at length about first taking cocaine at 17 before doing a “few more lines” on separate occasions.

During a trip to the US ahead of meeting his wife, he recalled hallucinating.

Further, he detailed smoking cannabis, one time being after his first date with Meghan.

“(Cocaine) didn’t do anything for me, it was more a social thing and gave me a sense of belonging for sure, I think it probably also made me feel different to the way I was feeling, which was kind of the point,” the prince told therapist Dr Gabor Maté in a televised interview.

“Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me.”
