The UK's COVID-19 restrictions currently include a ban on international travel. It is illegal to travel abroad from the UK for holidays, with a fine of up to £5,000 for those who breach restrictions.

However, there is thankfully a loophole in the government rules that permits international travellers to attend the funerals of loved ones – even if they are self-isolating.

According to guidance on the government website, those arriving from another country will have to self-isolate for 10 days. HELLO! understands that Harry, 36, is staying at his and Meghan Markle's family home, Frogmore Cottage, where he is following COVID-19 protocols.

Sharing his heartache with the world in a statement released on Monday afternoon,  Harry said of his grandfather: "My grandfather was a man of service, honour and great humour. He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm—and also because you never knew what he might say next."

Prince Harry had a loving relationship with his grandfather

Harry bears many similarities to his beloved grandfather, including their commitment to the royal forces. He served in the army for a decade and was deployed to Afghanistan twice, while his grandfather Prince Philip reached the honourable rank of commander during his time serving the military.
