Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are expected to travel to the UK with their parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, next month. However, they are unlikely to be seen in public during the visit.
The children, who have been raised in the United States, have not been to Britain since 2022 and are said to be looking forward to spending time in their father’s home country. The trip may also include private family time with royal relatives, including King Charles. Any activities involving the children are expected to remain strictly private, unlike some of the public engagements planned for their parents.
Harry and Meghan have not commented on the visit, but it is understood that Archie and Lilibet will not take part in public appearances, as the couple continue to prioritize their privacy.
The pair have largely kept their children out of the spotlight, including limiting their presence on social media. Their decision is said to be driven by concerns around safety and security.
A source previously told PEOPLE that Harry has been cautious about showing his children publicly, not to hide them, but to protect their privacy and reduce potential security risks, including fears of kidnapping or harm. The family is reportedly set to stay at a royal residence during their UK trip.
This visit would mark the first time the whole family has travelled to the UK together since 2022. Harry has returned to the country alone on several occasions, with security concerns cited as the reason his wife and children have not accompanied him from their home in Montecito. He has also said in the past that he would like his children to become more familiar with his home country.
