Harry and his American wife Meghan, the Duke
and Duchess of Sussex, announced in January that they would step
down from their duties as senior royals, spend more time in
North America and aim to become financially independent.
Details of how the new arrangement will work are still being
discussed by the couple and Buckingham Palace. The changes will
come into effect on March 31 and could include dropping the word
"royal" from their branding.
They have been in Canada with their son Archie for several weeks
but Harry will be in London next week, according to a statement
on Thursday from the royal communications office.
He will visit the studios at Abbey Road in north London, where
the Beatles recorded 11 of their 13 albums, to meet the Bon Jovi
frontman and the Invictus Games Choir, who are recording a
single for charity.
The choir is made up of veterans and serving personnel from the
British military. Proceeds from the sale of the record will go
to the foundation that supports the Invictus Games, a sporting
event for sick and injured veterans that is one of Harry's
favorite causes.
"The song, called Unbroken, was created by Jon Bon Jovi to shine
a spotlight on veterans living with Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder and honor their service," the statement said.
The singer's parents both served in the U.S. Marine Corps, while
Harry served in the British military before he took on full-time
royal duties.
