Will Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Return To UK For Prince Philips’s Funeral? | TODAY Many are wondering whether Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle will return to the U.K. for the funeral of Prince Philip. With Meghan expecting a baby, traveling could be a risk. If Harry makes the trip, it would be his first time back since he stepped back as a working royal. NBC’s Guad Venegas reports for Weekend TODAY. Meghan Markle will not attend the funeral of Prince Philip, Buckingham Palace announced on Saturday, ending speculation over whether the actress would accompany Prince Harry across the pond. "The Duke of Sussex is planning to attend. The Duchess of Sussex has been advised by her physician not to travel. So the duke will be attending," a royal spokesperson told People of the St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle funeral service on April 17, which will be closed to the public in accordance with pandemic guidelines. Markle and Prince Harry, who share son Archie, 1, are expecting their second child, a daughter. On Friday, the Duke of Edinburgh who is the husband of Queen Elizabeth, died at age 99, the palace announced "with deep sorrow." That day, Markle, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, posted a tribute to Prince Philip which read, "In loving memory of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh…Thank you for your service.…You will be greatly missed." It will be Prince Harry's first trip back to England after his and Markle's March 7 CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which Markle revealed that she developed suicidal thoughts while living under palace constraints and without emotional support. The couple, who moved to Montecito, Calif., also claimed that before the 2019 birth of Archie, members of the royal family made racist remarks about his skin tone, allegations the palace said it takes "very seriously." The interview caused tension among the royals — Harry's older brother Prince William denied that their family is racist and Prince Albert of Monaco called the televised event not "appropriate" — and it's unclear if Harry's visit will heal the family. “Harry will come home, and a meeting between the brothers and perhaps, with luck, a reconciliation over their dead grandfather could be a possibility,” a royal historian Penny Junor told the New York Times.

Prince Harry is expected to attend his grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral in the UK — marking his first trip home since famously quitting the royal family, a source told The Post on Friday. But it’s unclear whether heavily pregnant Meghan Markle — who is due with the couple’s second child in early summer — will join Harry, even though she wants to be by his side, the source said. Her ability to fly the nearly 12 hours from the Sussexes’ California home to England will depend on her doctor’s orders and air carrier guidance, the source added. But Harry wouldn’t miss the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral for the world. “Harry was extremely close to his grandfather,” a UK royal source told The Post. “He will, of course, be there, no matter how difficult relations are between the Sussexes and the family.” Harry’s expected return to his native country comes after he and Markle split from the royal family in January 2020 — and weeks after their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that roiled Buckingham Palace. In the two-hour, no-holds-barred sit-down, Markle revealed that someone in the royal family questioned how dark their son Archie’s skin might be.
