Prince Harry reportedly wants to return to his native UK "every few months".

The Duke of Sussex - who lives in California with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and their children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five - enjoyed a successful trip back home in July which included a meeting with his father King Charles and a new report suggests the 41-year-old royal is now hoping to schedule regular visits so he can spend time with his family, carry out charity work and support his Invictus Games.

A source told The Sunday Times newspaper: "The template for his visits has been working well, so the frequency of trips will increase, especially in the run-up to Invictus [the Invictus Games] which he's determined to make the best games yet.

"So he'll be coming back and forth a lot more, every few months.

"The way the wind is blowing, he's going to want to be here more and more. He's happy these trips can now have more focus on the patronages and be less obscured by the other nonsense.

"He wants more of a foothold here, more trips back, less courtroom drama. And he always loves seeing his family."

Harry was back in the UK in July and was later joined by his wife Meghan and their two children, who were given the chance to see their grandfather King Charles for the first time in four years in a private meeting at Highgrove, the monarch's country residence in Gloucestershire, England.

No images were released from the reunion, and no further details were given as it was a "private family occasion", the palace said.

The meeting marked the first time Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have been in the UK since June 2022, when they travelled over to attend the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth.

The July trip was overshadowed by a furore over Harry's accommodation at Buckingham Palace, which fell through after he reportedly failed to give enough notice about his plans and he had to stay elsewhere.

However, he's said to be due back in the country in September to attend a series of engagements around the WellChild Awards, which are being held in London later this year, and Harry has reportedly been offered another chance to stay at the palace in the UK capital. The Sun newspaper reported Harry "will accept the fresh offer to stay at the Palace well in advance this time".
