PRINCE Harry is back in the UK and in quarantine so he can attend Prince Philip’s funeral on Saturday, April 17.
It is the first time he has returned to these shores since he and his wife Meghan Markle left for a new life in the US.

Where is Prince Harry staying?
The Duke of Sussex is currently staying at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
Prince Harry, 36, was seen getting off a British Airways flight from Los Angeles that arrived at Heathrow at 1.15pm yesterday.
He was put into a black Range Rover and whisked away.
Sources had earlier confirmed he was due back imminently to quarantine in time for the Duke of Edinburgh’s farewell at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on Saturday.
Harry is expected to self-isolate for five days to comply with Covid quarantine regulations.
Anyone coming from outside England is required to self-isolate from arrival and for the first full 10 days after they arrive.
But Harry will be entitled to leave his place of self-isolation on compassionate grounds so he can attend the funeral.
The Duke was initially thought to be self-isolating at Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
Meghan, 39, who will remain at the couple’s home in Montecito, California with son Archie, was advised not to travel because of her pregnancy.
A friend reportedly said: “Meghan said her main concern right now is supporting Harry. She said she left it up to him as to whether or not she would attend the funeral.
“Meghan said it’s during these times when family should come together, put their differences aside and unite as one. She said this is what Prince Philip would want and that she’s willing to forgive and move forward.”
Harry paid tribute to his “witty” grandfather Philip – remembering the duke as the “master of the barbecue and legend of banter”.
Harry said Philip was “cheeky ’til the end” and “authentically himself” throughout his more than 70 years of service to the nation.
And he thanked the dedicated royal for being a “rock” to his grandmother the Queen – just minutes after his brother William also paid tribute.
When is Prince Harry returning to the US?
It is not known when Harry will be returning to the US and no official statement has been made.
It could be around three weeks to a month before he can see Meghan again.
This will depend on how long he stays in the UK and whether he follows guidance from US infectious disease experts.
He will have to have a negative Covid test before he can fly back to the US.
