Prince Harry Heads to London For Various Engagements
While Meghan Markle attends the charity event in Los Angeles, Prince Harry heads to London for numerous engagements.
The Daily Mail reports that during his two-week trip, the prince will be attending awards ceremonies, charitable panels, and summits.
Prince Harry is also attempting to see his father, King Charles, during his UK and Lesotho visit. The royals last saw each other in early February, after the king announced his cancer diagnosis.
As the prince goes on his trip, Markle remains back home with their two children. A California source told the media outlet that Harry goes on the trip on his own was his own idea. “I hear he wanted it this way,” the insider shared. “I believe he wants space.”
A London source also said, “This definitely feels like he is upping his game to cement his position as a serious player on the international stage. He’s always been desperate to be taken seriously and people I know say his fall from grace will really have got to him.”
The insider then added, “It is a surprise that he went to Lesotho without Meghan. There may be a good reason she can’t leave the kids, but she’s never been to Lesotho and that surprises me – it is like a second home [to Harry]. He first went there as a teenager and the royal family there is like his second family.”
