The family will attend events in Birmingham and London tied to the 2027 Invictus Games. They will be housed in a royal palace during the stay.
Accommodation arrangements Possible locations include Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace, Windsor Castle, or Frogmore Cottage. Buckingham Palace is described as the safest building in Britain and remains under guard despite ongoing renovation work. The property has stayed empty since the Sussexes were required to leave in 2022.
Meeting with the King An agreement is in place for the King to spend time with his grandchildren during the visit. The children are sixth and seventh in line to the throne. It remains unclear whether the Duchess will join the meeting. The visit is not expected to include contact between the Duke and the Prince of Wales.
“An agreement is understood to be in place, ensuring the monarch will spend time with Archie and Lilibet during the visit.”
The children have not visited Britain since the Duke lost round-the-clock security after the family's 2020 move. The Duchess last returned for the late Queen's funeral in September 2022. The Duke met the King for about 45 minutes at Clarence House in September 2025 and presented a framed photograph of the children.
