Prince Harry will reportedly be accompanied by his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children when he returns to the UK next month for Invictus Games events.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, is expected to attend the "One Year To Go" events for the Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham in 2027.
It's now been claimed he will be accompanied by his wife, Meghan, 44, and children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, for the first time since 2022.
Harry hopes to "introduce the children to his wider family" and show them "where he grew up", a source told News.com.au on Wednesday.
The insider added that Harry had felt a "great sadness" over not being able to bring his children to the UK previously, over security concerns.
Meanwhile, a source told The Sun that "conditions" have now been met for their safe return – though further details have not been confirmed.
When did Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet last visit the UK?
Meghan hasn't returned to the UK for nearly four years, since she attended the funeral events for the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
However, she made a brief stopover at London Heathrow airport in May while flying back to LA from Geneva, HELLO! understands.

Prince Harry has made several solo returns, for example, for his privacy hearing at the High Court in January and for his security court battle. However, Meghan and the children have always remained at home in Montecito, California.
Prince Archie was born in the UK in 2019, but Lilibet was born in California in June 2021. Her visit in 2022 is the only known time she's met her grandfather, King Charles, in person.

Why does Harry never bring his family to the UK?
Prince Harry has not brought his family back to the UK in recent years due to his ongoing security battle.
Harry and Meghan's automatic, 24-hour taxpayer-funded armed police protection was removed when they stepped down as senior royals in 2020, and he has faced a long-running legal battle to try to reinstate it.

In 2023, Harry published a written witness statement to the High Court, saying: ''The UK is my home. It is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live in the US.
''That cannot happen if it's not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil. I cannot put my wife in danger like that and, given my experiences in life, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm's way.''
Speaking on HELLO!'s A Right Royal Podcast in March, Emily Nash and Andrea Caamano spoke to podcast guest Matt Wilkinson, Royal Editor of The Sun, about the possibility of Meghan stepping on UK soil again.
"I think we will know if they've got their security back if Meghan comes this summer for the Invictus Games year-out event," Matt said on the podcast.
"If Meghan comes to the UK, then you can guarantee that they've won their security deal. But I think we'll have to wait. I think we'll have to wait until the summer."
