Prince Harry may be joined by his wife Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, in the UK by this weekend, according to reports. The Duchess of Sussex and the children are not expected to appear at any public engagements, and talks about a possible reunion between the family and King Charles remain ongoing. The development matters because Harry's family had not travelled with him amid a continuing dispute over their security arrangements in Britain.

Harry, who arrived in London on Monday for a five-day trip, visited Birmingham Children's Hospital, where he met seriously ill children and nurses to mark the 20th anniversary of the hospital's WellChild Nurse programme, a charity he has been patron of for 18 years. Meghan had reportedly wanted to support Harry at an Invictus Games event in Birmingham but is now not expected to attend. The Sussexes are expected to stay at Althorp, the Spencer family's ancestral home, and a meeting with the King may not take place until the weekend or Monday, with Highgrove, Sandringham or Windsor cited as possible venues; Harry has said he will not bring his family to London because he considers it "unsafe".
