In latest Prince Harry news, the Duke may use the birth of his second child as an excuse not to return to the UK this summer, an expert has said.
The Duke of Sussex is due to visit the UK in July for the unveiling of a Princess Diana statue to mark what would have been her 60th birthday.
However, expert Russell Myers has said Harry may pull out of the visit after a “frosty reception” from the Royal Family at Prince Philip‘s funeral last week.
What’s the latest news on Prince Harry?
Pregnant Meghan Markle is reportedly due to give birth around June time, and Mr Myers said the couple will be “all hands on deck” when their little one arrives.
Mr Myers told talkRADIO: “I’m told he’s still committed to coming. I’m sure he could jump on a private jet and make a flying visit.
“But will it be a convenient excuse that he doesn’t need to come over and face the family.”
