The games will be held from July 10 to 17, 2027.The prince was also expected to attend engagements with his other charities during the multiday visit this month.Harry and his family were currently in Europe and were still hoping to make the trip to the U.K. "in some form," The Sun newspaper reported Saturday.The tabloid reported, citing a source, that Harry and Meghan had planned to visit a London hospital together in her first such engagement since leaving the U.K., but he would now go alone "for security reasons."
