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.”
