Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be returning to the UK very soon, but they've been given a warning before they reunite with the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex has been open about his plans to return to the UK and it looks like they could be happening sooner than fans realised. Harry is expected to make a rare trip back to the UK next month for a special event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

The event will take place at St Paul's Cathedral on May 8. It's currently unclear if Meghan will join her husband at the event, but one royal expert has warned they "still have some way to go" before their joint UK return.

Royal correspondent Cameron Walker told GB News : "They still have some way to go if they are to increase their popularity with the British public." His comments come after a recent YouGov poll has shown the latest popularity results for the Royal Family.

Harry has been favoured by 31 percent of those polled, and Meghan by only 21 percent. Their results differ from the Prince and Princess of Wales, with Kate favoured by 76 percent of people polled and William by 73.

Harry has spoken openly about his desire to reunite with the Royal Family. Speaking on Good Morning America, he revealed: "My family and my life in California is as it is. I have got other trips planned. That would take me through the UK or back to the UK, so you know, I'll stop in and see my family as much as I can."

Cameron's comments come as Meghan and Harry put on a united front while filming their latest Netflix show. The couple were spotted smiling and walking hand-in-hand ahead of Harry’s fundraising polo match for Sentebale.

The footage captured will be part of Harry's new show for the streaming service which will give "unprecedented access to the world of professional polo" and the US Open Polo Championship in Florida, Netflix said.

Meghan is also producing a new show for Netflix which will focus on lifestyle and tie in with her brand American Riviera Orchard. Both shows are still in the early stages of production, but release dates are expected to be announced in the coming months.
