Prince Harry is set to be visiting the UK in the coming weeks but will not be joined by Meghan Markle.

An Invictus Games has spokesperson confirmed that the royal will attend the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday 8 May. Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event for injured former servicemen and women, in 2014.

The service will mark the 10th anniversary of the games. It follows speculation as to whether the royal would attend the service, albeit the statement did not say whether Meghan Markle would be attending. The event is two days after the fifth birthday of their son Prince Archie.

A statement published on the Invictus Games’ social media accounts read: “The Invictus Games Foundation will celebrate 10 years of changing lives and saving lives with a ‘Service of Thanksgiving’ at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8th. We will be joined by our Patron, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, actor Damian Lewis and members of the worldwide Invictus Community to mark the occasion.”

Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games in partnership with the Ministry of Defence. The first event was held in London from 10-14 September 2014 and the next games will be held in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada.

The 2025 Invictus Games will be the first to include winter adaptive sports, such as alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, skeleton and wheelchair curling.

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals at the start of 2020, moving to the US shortly afterwards. The couple now live in California with their two children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.
