Prince Harry has been presented with an opportune moment to bring his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, back to the UK. The Duke of Sussex, currently residing in California, could travel with his family to London for the Invictus Games in 2027.
Renae Smith, founder and director of the Atticism, shared her thoughts with Express.co.uk: “The Invictus Games in 2027 could indeed be a strategic opportunity for Prince Harry to bring his children to the UK. Given that they haven’t visited since 2022, their presence could symbolize a gesture of goodwill and a desire to reconnect with his roots.”
Smith further elaborated, “This move could generate positive publicity, highlighting the importance of family unity and the continuation of his charitable efforts in the UK.”
However, she cautioned about the potential pitfalls of such a gesture. “It is crucial to handle this situation delicately. There is a risk that some might perceive this as ‘using’ the children to mend his [Prince Harry’s] relationship with the Royal Family, which could attract negative attention.”
Smith advised that the couple should be careful in how they present their visit. “It’s important for the couple [Harry and Meghan] to avoid exaggerating or portraying themselves as martyrs for attending or bringing their children. They should be matter-of-fact about their attendance and aim to avoid any conflict (Let’s see if this is possible for them!).”
The potential return of Prince Harry with his children to the UK for the Invictus Games in 2027 could serve multiple purposes. Not only would it allow the children to visit their father’s homeland, but it could also demonstrate Harry’s commitment to his charitable work and family ties. Balancing these factors carefully will be key to ensuring the visit is seen in a positive light.
As the date approaches, all eyes will be on how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle navigate this opportunity. Their ability to manage public perception and avoid unnecessary drama will be crucial to the success of such a high-profile visit. The Invictus Games, a cause close to Prince Harry’s heart, might just provide the perfect backdrop for a meaningful family reunion and a chance to reaffirm his connection to the UK.
