Prince Harry ‘back in the UK’ ahead of Prince Philip’s funeral

Prince Harry has reportedly arrived back in the UK ahead of his grandfather’s funeral.

The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, passed away at Windsor Castle on Friday morning, aged 99.

Buckingham Palace has since confirmed his funeral will take place on Saturday, April 17, at St. George’s Chapel.

According to The Sun, Harry arrived at London’s Heathrow airport on a British Airways flight from Los Angeles at 1:15pm on Sunday.

The Duke of Sussex was reportedly met by police and security and driven away in a Range Rover, and is thought to have been taken to Kensington Palace.

According to government guidelines amid the pandemic, Harry will have needed to provide a negative COVID test before travelling and will have to provide two more while he is in the UK.

The 36-year-old will also be allowed to temporarily leave his 10-day isolation to attend the funeral on “compassionate grounds”.

Harry lives in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their son Archie.

According to BAAZAR.com, Meghan will stay in Los Angeles for the funeral as she is pregnant with the couple’s second child.

A source close to the couple said: “The Duchess has made every effort to travel alongside The Duke, but unfortunately, she did not receive medical clearance from her physician.”

In line with current restrictions, only 30 people will be allowed attend Prince Philip’s funeral this weekend, and the public have been asked not to attend.

The funeral is scheduled to start at 3pm, and will coincide with a national minute of silence.

This is the first time Harry has returned to the UK since he stepped down as a senior working member of the Royal family last March.

It’s also the first time he will come face-to-face with his family since his bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
