Should Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, accept the invitation, it would mark Meghan's first significant visit to the UK since attending the late Queen's funeral in 2022.

If they accept the invitation, it would mark Meghan's first significant visit to the UK since attending the late Queen's funeral in 2022.

It's no secret that Prince Harry's relationship with the Royal Family has become increasingly strained over the past few years, but it seems he's still on good terms with the Spencer family.The Duke of Sussex made a quiet trip from the US to the UK to join family members at a memorial service for his late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, at St Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk, in late August. It has been reported that Harry, 39, stayed at the Spencer family's ancestral home of Althorp House during his secretive trip.The property is his uncle Earl Spencer's residence and was the childhood home of his late mother, Princess Diana.

Prince Harry has been incredibly open during the 27 years that have passed since his mother's tragic death and has frequently spoken about the effect that it had on his mental health. He was just 12 years old when Diana, Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in Paris and just a few days later on 6 September he walked behind his mother's coffin with his brother, his father, his grandfather and his uncle.

The shock death of Diana, Princess of Wales' triggered an outpouring of grief and mourning that nobody could have possibly foreseen. An estimated 60 million bunches of flowers were left in Diana's memory at the likes of Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and her ancestral home, Althorp House. Her funeral was held on September 6, 1997 - 27 years ago today - at Westminster Abbey in London.

Prince Harry stayed at his mother's childhood home when he secretly returned to the UK to attend a family funeral last week, an insider has revealed. Harry covertly flew from the US to join family members at a memorial service for his late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, at St Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk last Thursday.

During her time as a working senior royal, Meghan Markle worked with a number of charities and launched some important projects. Her interests included mental health, women's rights, animal welfare and bringing communities together.

Ever since they stepped back from their roles as senior royals, it has frequently been reported that both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have cut ties with many friends, as well as members of their respective families. Following on from claims that the Duke of Sussex, in particular, no longer sees many of the wide circle of friends that he had back in the UK ever since he relocated Stateside, a leading royal expert has looked at how his "sacrifice" will make him feel.

There have been several attempts to compare Meghan Markle with the late Diana, Princess of Wales ever since her and Prince Harry's relationship became public knowledge.These comparisons reached boiling point following the release of investigative journalist Tom Bower's controversial book 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors' last year. One of the most striking claims was how Harry reportedly hoped that Diana's two sisters and younger brother would identify the similarities between Meghan and his late mother - a fact which ended up in disappointment when they didn't. In an eyebrow-raising twist presented by Bower, he suggests that Diana's brother, Earl Spencer was requested to intervene about Harry's growing relationship with Meghan.

Prince William and Prince Harry may be in line for the throne, but there's one thing they'll never inherit - their mother Princess Diana's childhood home.The Althorp Estate, which has been in the Spencer family since 1508, will instead go to their cousin Louis, son of Earl Spencer, Diana's brother Charles. Despite having three older sisters, 30-year-old Viscount Althorp, Louis, will inherit the estate due to the aristocracy's system of primogeniture, where titles are passed down to the oldest boy, not the firstborn child.The sprawling 13,500-acre estate is where Diana spent her childhood and was laid to rest after her tragic death in 1997.
