Prince Harry 'expresses hopeful return to UK with family' after previously refusing to over concerns

The last time the family visited the UK was in 2022

It's been three years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle brought their children over to the UK.

The last time the family visited from their home in California was for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

But according to reports, the Duke of Sussex's recent legal victory could mean he's one step closer to being able to visit his home country with his little ones - Archie, five and Lilibet, three.

Last week, Prince Harry settled his high court legal action against News Group Newspapers (NGN), who offered a 'full and unequivocal apology' to Harry 'for the phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators instructed by them'.

It was also agreed that NGN would pay 'substantial damages' to the Royal.

With one victory out of the way, Prince Harry has another legal battle on his hands. The Royal is set to appeal a High Court Judgement which upheld a decision by the Home Office to downgrade his security when he stepped down as a working royal.

Meghan and Harry sensationally stepped down from their royal duties and moved overseas to build a private life for their children five years ago.

According to HELLO!, Harry's goal is to be able to visit the UK safely, with his family.

A source explained: "The goal for Prince Harry is simple.

"He wants to ensure the safety of himself and his family while in the UK so his children can know his home country and so he can help support his patronages and their important work."

After their security was downgraded, Harry launched legal action which ended up resulting in multiple hearings.

Following a ruling last year that saw the Duke lose his legal challenge, a spokesman said he intended to appeal, explaining: "The Duke is not asking for preferential treatment, but for a fair and lawful application of Ravec's [The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures] own rules, ensuring that he receives the same consideration as others in accordance with Ravec's own written policy.

"In February 2020, Ravec failed to apply its written policy to the Duke of Sussex and excluded him from a particular risk analysis.

"The Duke's case is that the so-called 'bespoke process' that applies to him is no substitute for that risk analysis."

In the past, Harry has spoken about how he wouldn't return to the UK with his family, due to the attention of the media.

"All it takes is for one lone actor who reads this stuff to act on what they've read," he told ITV.

"And whether it's a knife or acid, these are things that are genuine concerns for me. It's one of the reasons why I won't bring my wife back to this country."
