Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to attend the One Young World Summit in Manchester next month

The last time Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been to the UK was in early June. It was to attend the Platinum Jubilee Celebration of the Queen. The celebration marked the Queen's 70-year reign. At that time, the couple introduced their daughter Lilibet to her great grandmother. They have met the Queen on a few occasions so far in 2022. These were in order to rebuild bridges. The two of them plan to visit the UK once again next month to be present at the One Young World Summit. Its venue would be Manchester. The event helps to bring together young leaders from more than 190 countries. Meghan is a counsellor for the organization. Others with her are Justin Trudeau, Sir Richard Branson, and Jamie Oliver. The purpose would be to extend support to a number of charities that are close to their hearts. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announce surprise UK visit amid royal family feud. Harry and Meghan would also visit Germany. That would be for the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 One Year to Go event. The couple would finally return to the UK for the WellChild Awards on September 8.



It seems Harry met the Queen in April when he was on his way to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games. It was a secret visit. A media report did mention that Harry could come back to the UK when his father Prince Charles ascends the throne. A former police protection officer who knows the brothers William and Harry feels Harry might not remain in California for a long time. In the opinion of the police officer, Harry could return to his homeland in a new role. The officer admits that Harry is not a fish out of sea. He is involved in different charitable works and he has tie ups with Netflix etcetera. Moreover, he is involved in his military charities like the Invictus Games. Therefore, how he finally shapes his future is anybody’s guess.

Justin Bieber throws tantrums in Manchester - storms off stage mid-concert.


Justin Bieber annoys his fans and furious parents have branded him a 'spoilt brat' after he stormed off stage mid-concert in Manchester. The 22-year-old pop star dropped the mic and flounced off the stage after he was booed by fans for taking too long between songs during the show.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 25 October 2016.
This incident was the latest in a string of embarrassing outbursts from the singer since the start of his UK tour. It seems last week he told Manchester concert-goers to be quiet while he sung ballads. Moreover, he called concert-goers 'obnoxious' during a performance at Birmingham's Barclaycard Arena.
Obviously, parents of disappointed young fans did not take kindly to these outbursts. They said that they had spent a 'fortune' on tickets for their children.
Incidentally, price of tickets for the singer's upcoming Glasgow dates are priced at £88 and can go up to £550 per person for special positions like to stand in the 'pit' next to the stage.
