Prince Harry is anticipated to participate in several visits to the UK today.
Nevertheless, rumors state that Meghan Markle, his wife, will not be going with him.
The Waleses are said to have their own plans for the US in the meantime.

Since the King is rumored to be spending time at his Scottish home, many will naturally wonder if Prince Harry will be reunited with his family and perhaps travel to Balmoral to visit his father.
Harry is involved in a legal dispute with the UK Home Office at the time of his visit. The member of the royal family is apparently filing an appeal against a High Court decision that dismissed his challenge to a Court of Appeal judge’s decision to alter the degree of personal security he receives while in the UK.
This all started in 2020 when Harry’s automatic personal security was revoked by the Home Office while he was in the UK.
In spite of this, it is anticipated that Prince Harry will have some security when he attends the WellChild awards ceremony in London today (September 30). This security may come from the police or his own team.
It appears that the Prince and Princess of Wales are homing on Prince Harry’s house on the other side of the pond.
The couple has reportedly reapplied for their Royal foundation’s domestic trademarks.

Prince William and Princess Catherine to make US move
It is implied by this application to the US Patent and Trademark Office that they plan to hold charity events in the US, as it contains items such as printed race numbers, apparel, footwear, and headgear.
BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond played down the significance of the audacious move.
“I don’t think we should read too much into this“, Jennie told OK!. “As stated, this appears to be more of a housekeeping issue—likely ensuring the application is submitted within the allotted time frame—than anything else. It doesn’t appear that an American initiative will be launched anytime soon.”
“However, the very fact that they wish to maintain the application’s viability raises the possibility that new plans are in the works. And that is undoubtedly advantageous. I would definitely not want to downplay the interest in relocating to the United States. It is not appropriate to attempt to create fictitious rivalries between Meghan and Harry or William and Catherine. They already have enough issues without us spreading more unfounded rumors on top of it.”

“However, it is evident that William and Catherine enjoy great popularity in the US“, she continued. “I have no doubt that support from the Foundation would be greatly appreciated if it could assist with the numerous problems related to mental health that exist globally. and would have a lot of weight attached to it because of William and Catherine.”
ED! has reached out to the representatives of Harry and Meghan as well as Buckingham Palace for a response.
Prince Harry’s solo visit to the UK raises questions about the current state of relations within the royal family, particularly with his brother and father. Despite the WellChild awards ceremony being an important event for him, the absence of Meghan Markle has fueled speculation about their plans and dynamics within the family.
Meanwhile, as Harry attends his charity engagements, the Prince and Princess of Wales are focusing on their own charitable efforts and expanding their influence beyond the UK. The recent reapplication for their Royal Foundation’s domestic trademarks in the US could signify a potential increase in their charitable activities overseas. This move suggests that they are keen to maintain and potentially grow their influence in the US market, where they have garnered significant popularity.
While Jennie Bond has downplayed the significance of this trademark renewal, other royal experts speculate that this could be a precursor to more US-based activities. With mental health being a central cause for both William and Catherine, expanding their work in the US could align with their efforts to reach a global audience. The US has been a strong supporter of their initiatives, and a presence there could amplify their impact.
The timing of this development, especially with Prince Harry currently in the UK, has led to further speculation about the possibility of increased visibility for William and Catherine in the US. With Meghan and Harry already established in Montecito, California, it raises the question of whether the two couples might find themselves working on similar causes but on different sides of the Atlantic.
Harry and Meghan’s continued base in Montecito with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, seems to contrast with the Waleses’ evolving plans, which may include more frequent visits or events in the US. While some royal commentators caution against reading too much into this, others suggest that William and Catherine’s growing focus on global issues, including mental health, could mean they are strategically positioning themselves to connect with a wider international audience, particularly in America.
This potential expansion does not necessarily imply competition but rather an opportunity for both couples to champion causes they are passionate about in their own ways. Royal watchers will be keen to see how these developments unfold, especially with the ongoing legal disputes Prince Harry faces in the UK and the evolving charitable strategies of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
As Harry’s visit to the UK continues, all eyes remain on the possibility of a reconciliation between him and his family. However, given the reported tensions and legal battles, it is uncertain whether such a reunion will take place anytime soon. Nonetheless, both Harry and the Waleses seem committed to their charitable endeavors, whether on separate continents or, perhaps in the future, through collaborative efforts that transcend geographical boundaries.
