The Duke of Sussex has laid a wreath and flowers in memory of his grandmother, the late Queen, on the third anniversary of her death.
Prince Harry arrived in the UK on Monday and travelled to Windsor where the late Queen was laid to rest at the King George VI Memorial Chapel within the castle’s St George’s Chapel.
It is understood he laid a wreath and flowers and privately paid his respects.
On Monday evening Harry will attend the WellChild awards ceremony in London in his role as the charity’s patron, a position he has held for more than 15 years.
There has been speculation about whether the duke will see his father the King, who is receiving ongoing cancer treatment and was in Scotland at the weekend.
His four-day visit marks his longest stay in the UK since 2022, when he and Meghan travelled to Britain following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
Meanwhile his brother Prince William was joined by his wife Kate as he visited the National Federation of Women’s Institutes in Sunningdale, Berkshire.
It was Kate’s third engagement in five days after she visited the Natural History Museum’s gardens last Thursday before watching the Red Roses beat Australia 47-7 in their Women’s Rugby World Cup match in Brighton on Saturday.
It is not known whether the duke, who is estranged from his brother, and has a troubled relationship with his father, the King, will stage a reunion during his stay.
The King, who is currently at Balmoral in Aberdeenshire, and the Queen have no public engagements planned for this week.
Harry and Charles last met face-to-face more than a year and a half ago when the duke made a transatlantic dash to see the monarch in February 2024 after hearing of his cancer diagnosis, but they spent just over 30 minutes together before the King left to recuperate in Sandringham.
Both Harry and William attended the funeral of their uncle Lord Fellowes in Norfolk last year, but there was reportedly no interaction between the brothers.
On Tuesday, William will visit a youth organisation in Lambeth, south London, while Harry will revisit the Community Recording Studio (CRS) in Nottingham’s St Ann’s area.
Harry last visited the CRS to mark World Mental Health Day in October 2019, just two months before he and the Duchess of Sussex announced they were stepping down as senior working royals and moving to North America.
The duke is hoping to bring together key stakeholders, influencers and potential funders to shine a light on the work of grassroots organisations such as CRS and Epic Partners and the sports apprenticeship body Coach Core.
Coach Core was originally started as a programme by William, Harry and the now-Princess of Wales’s joint Royal Foundation in 2012 to use the power of sport to help change lives and train young apprentices.
It has since become an independent charity. Harry and Meghan broke away from William and Kate’s Royal Foundation in 2019 after rumours of a rift began to circulate.
Meanwhile, William will visit Spiral Skills, which has received funding from the prince’s homelessness initiative Homewards to move into a new hub for young people at The Oasis Village, Tulse Hill.
On Wednesday, he will visit a new mental health hub at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium run by the Jac Lewis Foundation, a charity based in Ammanford, south-west Wales, which was set up in memory of Jac and is backed by the Royal Foundation.
Senior aides to the King and Harry were pictured together in London this July in what was reported to be an initial step towards opening channels of communication between the two sides.
Harry, who levelled accusations at the King, Queen, William and Kate in his Oprah interview, Netflix documentary and memoir Spare, told the BBC in May that Charles will not speak to him because of his court battle over his security, and he does not know “how much longer my father has”.
But he also outlined his hopes for a “reconciliation” with his family, saying: “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.”
He added: “But you know, I would love reconciliation with my family” and said there was “no point in continuing to fight any more”.
