While Prince Harry is likely to leave his Los Angeles mansion, his wife Meghan may not be able to as she is pregnant with their second child.

The insider added: "Meghan is obviously pregnant so she will need to take advice from her doctors about whether it is safe for her to travel, but I think Harry will definitely go."
