Prince Harry is already planning his first trip back to the UK since leaving royal life - and says he would have been back earlier, were it not for coronavirus.

The 35-year-old is currently living in California with Meghan Markle and son Archie after first moving to Canada in early 2020, but he admitted that there are certain things about home he still misses - sport being one of them.

Harry, who is patron of the Rugby Football League, spoke during a Zoom call with staff and volunteers to mark the sport's 125th birthday, Harry vowed to return to the UK for the world cup next year.

"We've got a whole Rugby League World Cup coming next year," Harry said during the call. "I definitely plan on coming back. I would have been back already had it not been for COVID."

The Rugby World Cup is set to take place in England between 23 October and 27 November next year, so while it's a while away, at least we know now that we can look forward to having Harry and family back then.

In fact, they're likely to be on British soil a fair amount next year, as he and Prince William recently commissioned a statue of their late mother Diana to be built in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

The unveiling of the statue will be held in July to commemorate what would have been their mother's 60th birthday.

Finding Freedom author and royal correspondent Omid Scobie told the Heirpod podcast: "In March, we have the Invictus Games, which has been rescheduled, in the Hague.

"In June, we have Trooping the Colour, which I imagine Prince Harry and Meghan would like to still be at, and July 1, we have the unveiling of the Princess Diana statue."

He added: "I would not be surprised if we saw the Sussexes spend an extended period of time in the UK next year."
