duke

The duke has made several trips to the UK in recent years for a variety of engagements including for charity events and to attend court cases.

However a report in the Sun on Saturday suggested the reunion had been more formal than expected, with the duke reportedly left feeling like he was being treated as an official visitor, rather than family.

The duke will also watch live performances from artists, and make a short speech.

The duke was sent to Germany to cool his ardour, but the imposed distance failed to quench the flame.

After the duke and duchess had quit the UK, the committee carried out some threat risk assessments and then committed to decide on the duke's security at home on a case-by-case basis.
