Prince Harry and Meghan are returning to the UK next month for a series of charity events.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to arrive in early September, which will be their first time back in the country since the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June.

On September 5 the couple will be visiting the One Young World Summit, which brings together young leaders from more than 190 countries around the world.

Meghan is a counsellor for the charity along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, businessman Richard Branson and chef Jamie Oliver.

The couple will then be jetting to Germany on for the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 One Year to Go event, before flying back to the UK for the Well Child Awards on September 8.

Former Army officer, Prince Harry, founded the Invictus Games in 2014 for wounded servicemen and veterans.

The event is held every two years with the next year's event in Dusseldorf being the sixth time they have been held.

A spokesperson for the couple said: "Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to visit with several charities close to their hearts in early September."

On their last visit to Britain for the Jubilee the couple introduced their daughter Lilibet to her great-grandmother, the Queen.

However the couple only attended one official event for the celebrations, the service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, as part of their reduced role in the Royal Family.

The Duke and Duchess stepped down as working royals in January 2020 following their controversial move to California.

Last month it was revealed the couple's Montecito mansion was reportedly targeted by intruders twice in the space of 12 days.

Harry, Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, were all believed to be at home when police were alerted to both incidents.

Santa Barbara Police records show there have been six security alert calls to their US home in the past 14 months.
