On his podcast, The HeirPod, the journalist and controversial book author Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, Omid Scobie, stated that Harry and Meghan could spend an "extended period of time in the UK next year".

"In March, we have the Invictus Games, which has been rescheduled, in the Hague.
