Princess Anne is set to embark on an official visit to Canada in May, coinciding with Prince Harry's anticipated return to the UK.
Scheduled from May 3 to 5, the Princess Royal's trip to the Commonwealth country precedes Prince Harry's attendance at an Invictus Games event shortly after her tour.
The Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service, slated for May 8 and featuring a speech by Prince Harry, underscores the timing of royal engagements during this period.
However, uncertainties surround Meghan, Harry's wife, who is reportedly reconsidering the trip to the UK due to safety concerns following a recent court case over Harry's police protection.
Princess Anne's upcoming visit to Canada follows her previous trip to the country in 2023, where she commemorated the 175th anniversary of the 8th Canadian Hussars.
While the Palace has not disclosed additional details about Anne's visit beyond the date and destination, her diplomatic engagement assumes significance amidst ongoing developments within the royal family.
Reports suggest that King Charles is seeking reconciliation with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by extending an invitation to Balmoral.
Royal expert Tom Quinn suggests that the monarch is optimistic about a positive response to his invitation, indicating a potential step towards resolving familial tensions.
