Prince Harry returns to UK, begins Invictus Games tour

Prince Harry has returned to the United Kingdom for a solo series of engagements, beginning with a public appearance in London on Monday, July 6. The Duke of Sussex attended the premiere of the documentary "Shoot the People" to support his longtime friend, photographer and filmmaker Misan Harriman. The event marked Harry's first outing since arriving in the country that afternoon.

His spokesperson stated that Harry was in good form and is "really happy to be back in the U.K. and really looking forward to the weeks engagements." The visit, expected to last several days, will focus on charitable work and events promoting the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

The trip has been marked by logistical complications and security concerns. Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, did not accompany him. A representative attributed this to security arrangements, noting that after the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) decided not to provide taxpayer-funded security for his family, alternative arrangements had to be made last week. Once those were in place for Harry himself, he was able to travel.
