Prince Harry could attend a major Royal Family event with his son Prince Archie, according to a royal commentator.

However, Meghan Markle and Princess Lilibet may choose to stay in the US.


Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex remained in California with Archie and Lilibet despite being invited to the Coronation of King Charles.

Prince Harry attended the historic Royal Family event on his own without Meghan in May.

Royal commentator Angela Levin has stated that we could see the Sussexes take a similar approach to King Charles's birthday in November.

The King will turn 74 and it is thought that the Sussexes will be invited to celebrate the occasion.

However, Levin stated it is a possibility that Harry brings his eldest child Archie along to the major event.

The royal commentator said: "He could go on his own and bring Archie with him.

"He’s a big boy now and he could see his cousins."

Levin added: "Charles would want Harry and Meghan’s children there.

Prince Archie turned four on May 6 2023, the same day as King Charles's Coronation.

Prince William could face a dilemma over funding Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle if the Sussexes returned to the Royal Family fold.

The Prince of Wales receives £24million a year from the Duchy of Cornwall and currently has a surplus which will diminish as he funds Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

However, the surplus may disappear if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the monarchy.

Prince Willliam may have to fund the Duke and Duchess of Sussex' duties, housing and the schooling of Archie and Lilibet as well as other costs that could put the heir to the throne's finances under pressure.

In July, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that if Meghan and Harry did rejoin the monarchy as working members, they would be funded by the Duchy of Cornwall.

He said: "The answer would be the Duchy of Cornwall.

"There may not be a problem in funding them as they need young blood as there are few working royals under 70.

"However, the idea that after everything that has happened that Meghan and Harry could just walk back in is beyond extraordinary."
