Archie and Lilibet currently remain in the US, alongside Meghan's mum Doria Ragland

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could fly Archie and Lilibet to the UK for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.

The couple were already in the UK as part of a European visit to attend several charity events when the Queen died.


But Archie and Lilibet, as well as Ms Markle’s mum Doria Ragland, remained in the US.

And the Sussexes are now deciding whether to fly the children and Ms Ragland to the UK ahead of Monday’s funeral, according to The Telegraph.

On Monday, Harry paid a touching tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, thanking the former monarch for her "commitment to service and sound advice."

Posting a statement on the website, Archewell, he said: “In celebrating the life of my grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen – and in mourning her loss – we are all reminded of the guiding compass she was to so many in her commitment to service and duty.

“She was globally admired and respected. Her unwavering grace and dignity remained true throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy.

“Let us echo the words she spoke after the passing of her husband, Prince Philip, words which can bring comfort to all of us now: ‘Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings.’

“Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings – from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren.

“I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between. You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over. And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.

“Thank you for your commitment to service. Thank you for your sound advice. Thank you for your infectious smile.

“We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace.”
