Prince Harry WILL be in the UK on the anniversary of the Queen’s death but will ‘snub his family’ – as it is revealed he faces having to ask King if he can stay at Frogmore Cottage

Prince Harry will be forced to ask the Palace for permission if he wants to stay on a royal estate when he returns to the UK early next month – after he and Meghan were evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles. 

The Duke of Sussex, 38, is set to fly out from California to London to make an appearance at the WellChild Awards on September 8, which celebrates the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters. 

He will not be accompanied by his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, who will fly straight to Germany for the Invictus Games. And he is not expected to see any of his family following an intense souring of relations. 

Harry and Meghan were evicted from Frogmore earlier this summer. While in the UK, he now has to request access to an apartment on one of the royal estates, or alternatively stay with friends or at a hotel. 

The last time he stayed at his former marital home was in June when he was in London to give evidence in a High Court phone hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers.

The WellChild awards ceremony will take place just a day before the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s passing on September 8. Last year the event took place on September 7 and on June 30 in 2021.   

Harry has ‘no intention’ of seeing his brother or father during his whistle-stop stay, according to insiders.

Sources added that while the poignant date would be a good occasion for the family to ‘settle their differences’ in the ‘late queens memory’ they claimed relations between the Duke, his brother and father, remain ‘firmly rooted at rock bottom’. 

In contrast to last year’s global outpouring of grief and days of state events, there are no public or private family gatherings planned for the anniversary of the Queen who died at Balmoral last year, aged 96, during her traditional summer stay at the castle. 

The King and Queen are expected to spend the day in private reflection at Balmoral, as they continue on his mother’s tradition of staying at the castle. Charles usually sleeps at Birkhall, his private residence on the estate. 

Prince Andrew is also expected to make an appearance at the Scottish residence, accompanied by his daughters. It is unknown if other royals will also visit. 

Avoiding his family in Scotland, the Duke will fly out to Dusseldorf for the Invictus Games, which begin on Saturday September 9. 

The Duchess of Sussex will not be stopping off in the UK on her way to the games, the Telegraph reported. 

Speaking of the Prince’s quick stopover in the UK, an insider told the Mirror: ‘While some may suggest it would be good order for the family to settle their differences, perhaps even in the late queens memory, things are a long way off.’

The last time the brothers were seen together with their wives was during a walkabout outside Windsor Castle following the Queen’s funeral in September.

The source added relationships remain ‘firmly rooted at rock bottom’ following Prince Harry’s criticisms of King Charles, 74, and Prince William, 41, in his tell-all Netlfix documentary and explosive memoir Spare. 

The three royals were last seen together at the King’s Coronation on May 6 but Prince Harry flew home immediately after leaving the service at Westminster Abbey, missing much of the weekend’s celebrations. Meghan had not attended the Coronation.

Insiders have suggested that while Prince Harry will not see William or Charles, he could make time to see his cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who he has remained close with. 

While he is staying within the UK the Duke will need to either request to stay in an apartment on one of the royal estates, such as Windsor or find a hotel or friends to stay with, as he was evicted from Frogmore Cottage earlier this year. 

Harry has been WellChild’s patron for 15 years and regularly attends its annual awards ceremony. 

The 2022 WellChild awards took place on the day the Queen died, and the duke and duchess withdrew from the event with Harry flying to Scotland. 

A delay in his jet taking off meant he was airborne when news of his grandmother’s death was broken to the world.

Tensions between Prince Harry, the King and his brother were raised following his bombshell biography and tell-all Netflix series.  

In his biography Spare, published earlier this year, Harry claimed he was given direct instructions from then-Prince Charles not to bring Meghan, writing how his father cited ‘nonsensical and disrespectful’ reasons for her not to accompany him to Balmoral. 

In an interview in January, he said: ‘The day that she died was just a really, really horrible reaction from my family members. 

‘I was like ‘We’re here to celebrate the life of granny and to mourn her loss, can we come together as a family?’ 

The WellChild ceremony is being held days before Harry’s Invictus Games for wounded military personnel and veterans begins in Dusseldorf, Germany, on September 9. 

Harry said: ‘For nearly 20 years, WellChild has been transforming the lives of young people… providing critical care that prioritises the physical, mental and emotional well-being of these individuals and their families.’ 

During the event, he will spend time with each winner and their families at a pre-ceremony reception before presenting the award for Inspirational Child (aged four to six) and delivering a speech. 

Matt James, WellChild chief executive, said the awards ceremony will ‘shine a light on the ‘remarkable resilience and spirit’ of seriously ill youngsters.
