Prince Harry's heartbreaking confession over kids Archie and Lilibet as he prepares for UK visit in days
The Duke of Sussex lives in the US with his wife Meghan and their childrenPrince Harry once opened up about bringing his kids, Archie and Lilibet, back to the UK as he prepares for a new visit next week.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, will reportedly return to the UK next week to give evidence in a court case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. It’s part of an ongoing privacy lawsuit involving several celebrity claimants, including Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley.
It is reportedly scheduled to begin on January 19.
Prince Harry set for UK return for legal case
The duke is among a group of claimants accusing Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL) of serious breaches of privacy. These include the alleged use of private investigators to place listening devices in vehicles and the illegal acquisition of private phone data.
The publisher has strongly denied all allegations, calling them “simply preposterous”.
However, according to reports, Harry won’t visit his family when he’s back in the UK. King Charles is expected to be in Scotland for his traditional post-Christmas stay.
Meanwhile, Kensington Palace recently announced the Prince and Princess of Wales will travel to Scotland for some royal engagements on January 20.

Harry’s security issues in the UK
Prince Harry is reportedly expected to travel solo to Britain for the legal proceedings.
He hasn’t travelled to the UK with wife, Meghan Markle, and their two kids Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, since 2022.
Last year, Harry opened up about why he hasn’t brought his family over, and it all comes down to security.
When Harry stepped away from royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US with wife Meghan, his automatic taxpayer-funded police protection was downgraded.
It’s sad I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.
The decision ruled that security would instead be surveyed on a bespoke, case-by-case basis. But, for some time, the duke has been seeking to overturn the decision.
He challenged the decision-making process used by government committee Ravec, which authorises security for senior royals on behalf of the Home Office.
Last May, Harry lost his appeal. He sat down with the BBC for an interview and revealed his desire to reconcile with his family.
Prince Harry’s sad confession over his kids Archie and Lilibet
After he and Meghan stepped back from royal life, their tell-all interviews and his memoir, Spare, damaged their relationship with his family.
The couple made a series of damning allegations about their experience within the monarchy. However, it’s caused their relationship with Harry’s family to become strained.
Speaking to the BBC after losing his security court appeal, Harry admitted sadness over not being able to bring his kids to the UK.
‘I won’t be able to show my children my homeland’
He said: “I can’t see a world in which I will be bringing my wife and children back to the UK. They’re going to miss everything, I love my country. I miss the UK, I miss parts of the UK. It’s sad I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”

He added: “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight any more. Life is precious.”
According to recent reports, Harry’s security is once again being reviewed. A decision is expected later this month.
