Prince Harry has arrived in the UK to attend the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip.
As reported by the British media, Harry will attend the funeral service in Windsor next Saturday.
Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, died on Friday at the age of 99.
Among other things, the "Sun" and the "Daily Mail" reported that Prince Harry had already arrived at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday afternoon.
He went into quarantine according to the corona rules.
Harry's wife, Duchess Meghan, 39, did not travel with them.
The pregnant woman had been advised against the trip by her doctor, a spokesman for the palace said.
The funeral service for Prince Philip takes place in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
It is broadcast live on television - in Germany by RTL.
The service is to begin at 4 p.m. (CEST) with a nationwide minute of silence.
Because of the corona rules, only 30 mourners are allowed.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson canceled his attendance to let family members go first.
No public procession
There should be no public procession.
Instead, the Philips coffin is to be driven in a specially adapted Land Rover within the castle walls to the chapel, followed by a small mourners consisting of Prince Charles and other family members.
Harry and Meghan had withdrawn from the inner circle of the royal family a little over a year ago and moved their center of life to California with their one-year-old son Archie.
They are expecting another child, a girl, this summer.
It is unclear whether the Royals will use Harry's visit for a reconciliation, as was recently speculated.
Prince Harry had fallen out particularly with his brother Prince William, 38, and father Prince Charles, 72.
The focus of the dispute are allegations from Harry and Meghan about lack of consideration and even racist remarks within the family.
A television interview by Oprah Winfrey with Harry and Meghan caused a stir.
