Prince Harry was expected to fly back to his pregnant wife Meghan Markle on Monday after attending his grandfather’s funeral in London – but reports say he could delay his return for Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday.
Markle, who is expecting their daughter in early summer, was not allowed to accompany her husband on a prescription.
The Duchess of Sussex reportedly instead wrote a handwritten note to Prince Philip to stay next to a floral wreath presented in honor of the Royal Marines.
Harry, who reportedly had two hours of peace talks with his brother Prince William and their father Prince Charles after the funeral, reportedly booked an open flight to the US, according to British newspaper Metro.
“If all goes well, he could stay for the Queen’s birthday,” a source told The Sun, who also reported that Harry said he would join William for the unveiling of Princess Diana’s memorial statue in Kensington. Palace on July 1.

Royal insiders hope the ceremony can also help ease tensions between the estranged brothers as they stand together on what The Sun says would have been their mother’s 60th birthday.
William had personally asked not to walk next to his younger brother, so the two were separated by their cousin Peter Philips, Princess Anne’s son.
But the brothers were seen chatting for a few minutes during the televised funeral of 99-year-old Prince Philip on Saturday and then spent a few hours together behind closed doors with their father, Prince Charles.
