Prince Harry will visit London without his wife and children as part of a trip to London next week, after he was reportedly refused police protection for his family, according to reports. The prince had previously been expected to make his first family trip back to the UK in four years, but multiple reports stated that Duke of Sussex's wife Meghan, son Archie and daughter Lilibet would not accompany him on the London part of the trip. Harry, the younger son of King Charles, is due in London and Birmingham next week for a series of charity engagements and events promoting the 2027 Invictus Games. Meghan, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, were expected to travel with the prince, but his spokesperson said they had now dropped plans to travel to London. The Telegraph newspaper reported that the decision was taken after a request for police protection was denied. The spokesperson added, however, that the family had not ruled out travelling elsewhere in Britain, including to Birmingham, where Harry is due to promote the 2027 Invictus Games.
Arrangements for the rest of the trip were still under consideration, the source said, leaving it unclear whether the whole family would visit but stay outside the capital.
