Prince Harry is England-bound once again. The prince—who in recent months has been visiting his home country more frequently—is anticipated to return to the United Kingdom without Meghan Markle in tow for legal reasons.

According to the Express, Harry is heading back to England for “his ongoing trial against the publishers of ‘The Sun’ next month.” The outlet added that the trial “will take place at the High Court” and “will see Harry appear before the court, as well [as] former Labour deputy leader, Lord Tom Watson.”

The trial comes amid Harry’s ongoing court case against News Group Newspapers, in which he is suing the publisher for invasion of privacy and allegedly using unlawful tactics to gather information, such as phone hacking. The royal earned a victory at the beginning of 2024 with a separate case against the Mirror Group Newspapers regarding privacy and illegal snooping, with the publisher agreeing “to pay all of the prince’s legal costs, plus ‘substantial’ damages, and would make an interim payment of 400,000 pounds.”

“We have uncovered and proved the shockingly dishonest way in which the Mirror acted for so many years, and then sought to conceal the truth,” the Duke of Sussex said in a statement, read at the High Court in London by his lawyer, David Sherborne, at the time.

Harry traveling to the U.K. without Markle or their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, isn’t out of the norm. Last year, the royal went home to attend his uncle Lord Robert Fellowes’s funeral, which was kept secret from the other family members in attendance. Though the trip isn’t a fun one Harry will likely enjoy being back home, if only for a little while.

“Prince Harry wants to spend more time in the U.K., but he knows he is going to have to do it alone,” Tom Quinn, royal expert and author of Gilded Youth An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family told The Mirror. “He is increasingly nostalgic for much of his old life back in the U.K.”
