It sounds like a family reunion is in order for the royals, and we’re not sure what to think! Queen Elizabeth will be celebrating her 95th birthday in June, and plans are already underway for the special occasion. And it’s starting to look like those plans include a visit from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. While speaking to The Sunday Times about preparations for the monarch’s birthday, royal aides explained that the event, called Trooping the Colour, was a “family occasion,” meaning Harry and Meghan would be expected to attend.

Although the royals may have exciting plans for this summer, depending on what happens with coronavirus, their plans might need adjusting.
One aide told the outlet, "The current plan is for the Queen's birthday parade to go ahead in London as normal, with the acceptance that it may need to be adapted or scaled back depending on what guidelines are in force at the time. But the aspiration and the ultimate desire is to make it happen."
However, if the event does go according to plan, it is likely that Meghan and Harry--and maybe even Archie--will be in attendance.
Sources also recently let slip to People that there are other drivers for Harry to plan a visit home.
The article explains, "Insiders recently told [the outlet] that Prince Harry will take part in the 100th birthday celebrations of his grandfather, Prince Philip, in June. Harry is also expected to team up with brother Prince William in July for the long-awaited unveiling of a Kensington Palace statue of their late mother, Princess Diana, to commemorate what would have been her 60th birthday."
Harry himself has mentioned wanting to plan a return visit to the UK. During a video call with members of the Rugby Football League, he said that he would like to be back in London for the World Cup.
He explained, "We've got a whole Rugby League World Cup coming next year, so I definitely plan on coming back. I would have been back already had it not been for COVID."
