Prince Harry may delay return, but stays for Queen’s birthday

Prince Harry is expected to fly back to his pregnant wife, Meghan Markle, on Monday after attending his grandfather’s funeral in London, but according to reports, he could delay his return for Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday.

Markle, who is expecting their daughter in early summer, was banned from accompanying her husband on a doctor’s order.

The Duchess of Sussex reportedly wrote a handwritten letter to Prince Philip to stay with a wreath in honor of the Royal Marines.

According to the British newspaper Metro, Harry said he had two hours of peace talks with his brother, Prince William, and their father, Prince Charles, after the funeral.
