This week, Prince Harry returned to the UK to kick-start his final series of engagements representing the Queen before officially stepping back as a senior royal on 31 March.

Meghan Markle isn't thought to have returned with husband Harry - her own last flurry of engagements don't take place until next week.

The Duke returned to the UK on a commercial flight before boarding a train to Edinburgh for a Travalyst summit. “Just call me Harry,” he insisted at the event.

Harry, 35, attended a second engagement: a recording at Abbey Road studios in London made famous by The Beatles. The duke assisted Jon Bon Jovi in recording a song with the Invictus Games Choir in aid of the Invictus Games Foundation.

Watch as Yahoo UK's royal correspondent Rebecca Taylor recaps the biggest regal news of the week.
