When Prince Harry will fly home to Meghan Markle
After going back to the UK for the first time in a year for Philip’s funeral, Prince Harry isn’t expected to stay long.
Prince Harry is expected to jet home to pregnant wife Meghan Markle on Monday, local time, after his whistlestop UK trip for his grandfather’s funeral.
Harry, 36, spent most of his first visit to the UK in more than a year in mandatory quarantine in Frogmore Cottage, his previous home in Windsor.
He then reportedly faced “a great deal of frostiness” from his family at Prince Philip’s funeral Saturday, with some senior royals not even acknowledging his presence.

Harry was, however, seen briefly chatting to Prince William — albeit after his brother reportedly made the request that they be separated while following the coffin to St George’s Chapel.

Their father, heir to the throne Prince Charles, is also reportedly planning to extend an olive branch, with numerous reports saying he was taking Harry for a walk Sunday to see flowers left for Philip.
Harry has no plans to stick around, however — and will fly home to California on Monday, sources told MailOnline.
Reports have suggested the Duke of Sussex was planning a quick return to his Montecito mansion to not leave his pregnant wife, 39, and their son, Archie, two, alone for too long.

It means he will be leaving before his grandmother’s birthday this Wednesday, April 21. She turns 95.
It’ll be a sombre celebration for the longest-reigning monarch, and not just because of the death of her husband of 73 years.
Due to COVID, the Queen is having a much smaller celebration this year, and is reportedly holding a private gathering at Windsor Castle.
It is likely she will sit for an official portrait, as she does every year.
The Queen’s official birthday celebrations are in June, with the annual Trooping the Colour parade at Buckingham Palace.
It’s a traditional ceremony to mark the Queen’s birthday which sees thousands of people gather at the landmark to witness the pompous display of parading soldiers, horses, musicians and a RAF fly-past.

However, it has been cancelled yet again this year (it was cancelled last year due to COVID-19), with the palace saying it was considering options for a smaller event in the gardens at Windsor Castle instead.
Markle, who is expecting her and Harry’s daughter in coming months, was advised by doctors not to accompany her husband to London.
She reportedly instead penned a handwritten note to Philip to be left alongside a floral wreath presented in honour of the Royal Marines.
