A spokesperson for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said on Monday they plan visit the UK and Germany to attend several charity events “close to their hearts”.
Harry and Meghan are expected to arrive in Manchester on 5 September for the One Young Wolrd Summit opening ceremony, where Meghan is expected to give a keynote address, before the pair travel to Germany for an event the following day to mark a year until the Invictus Games arrives in Dusseldorf.
Harry and Meghan will then return to the UK for the WellChild Awards in London on 8 September, where the prince will deliver a speech.
It is the first time the couple have been in the UK since the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
The pair also visited in April, when they met with Prince Charles and the Queen en route to the Netherlands for this year’s Invictus Games.
Hopes of a possible rendezvous between Harry and his brother Prince William might have been dashed after a source toldThe Telegraph there is no current expectation that they will meet.
The source added that the trip will be to focus on the Sussexes charity work instead.
