Prince Harry will reportedly return to England for his grandfather Prince Philip's funeral, while the Duchess of Sussex is unlikely to join her husband due to pregnancy.

According to reports, the Duke of Sussex's return to UK is eminent for the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral which will be closed off from public attendance due to the ongoing pandemic.

Harry is currently residing in Montecito, California with his wife Meghan and their son Archie. The Sussexes moved to US last year after quitting royal jobs.

Royal experts and fans have recently started to share their thoughts on the possibility of Prince Harry and Meghan's arrival to the UK for attending the service of the late prince.

Harry, according to a media outlet, would face the prospect of at least five days in quarantine if he returns to the UK for funeral unless he gets an exemption – The couple have yet to publicly indicate whether they will attend.

As Meghan is pregnant with second child and is expected to give birth during the summer, some commentators said it was more likely that Harry would make the journey from Santa Barbara alone for the service of Queen Elizabeth's late husband.

Harry's return to Britain would be his first since he and Meghan spoke candidly in a US TV interview about their experience of royal life and said racism was a large part of the reason why they had chosen to leave the UK.
