It looks as though Prince Harry has returned to the US to reunite with pregnant wife Meghan and their two-year-old son Archie, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The royal, 36, is believed to have flown into LAX on an American Airlines flight that arrived in Los Angeles shortly after 1.30pm local time.
His car was seen leaving the private terminal at LAX minutes after the plane landed and was spotted again arriving in Montecito at around 4pm.
Harry’s return to the U.S. means he will miss the Queen’s 95th birthday tomorrow. She remains in mourning following the death of Prince Philip but will resume official duties on Friday.
Prince Charles will also miss the Queen’s birthday and is at his home in Wales. Prince William is also not expected to visit her on her big day.
Harry had been widely reported to have been planning to stay for the Queen’s birthday, although sources said he was ‘conflicted’ about the decision and wanted to get home to Meghan.

Father-of-one Harry will now begin a second 10-day quarantine – a requirement for international travelers journeying to the US, although it is not mandatory unlike in the UK.
CDC guidelines recommend travelers get a Covid-19 test prior to departure and self-isolate for 10 days after they return.
California also has its own travel advisory, with visitors and residents required to fill in a form that includes their contact details on arrival at LAX.
The LA guidelines also say travelers should quarantine, although that advice includes exemptions for those traveling for work or for urgent family matters.
Harry’s brief visit to the UK for the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh was his first trip back to Britain in a year.
Pregnant Meghan, who is expecting a baby girl in the summer, was told not to travel with him but did send a handwritten note and a wreath.
The trip also marked the first time he has seen his family since making explosive allegations about royal racism during an interview with Oprah last month and claiming his father and brother are ‘trapped in the system’.
Sources told the Mail on Sunday Harry received a frosty reception when he appeared at Philip’s funeral on Saturday and was largely ignored by senior royals, among them Princess Anne and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
His presence also caused problems for courtiers – although the Duke of Edinburgh had wanted military uniform to be worn for his funeral, Harry is not entitled to wear it having given up his military roles as part of the Megxit deal.
Instead, the Queen decided to spare Harry’s blushes by having the royal party wear morning suits to the funeral.

He reportedly texted with his father and brother beforehand but didn’t see them in person until shortly before the service began.
Although William and Harry’s interactions initially looked frosty, they were pictured chatting together after the service as they made their way back to the castle.
Prince Charles and his two sons are then reported to have spent three hours ‘clearing the air’ immediately after the funeral.
But Page Six and The Telegraph both reported that Harry and Charles did not have a one-on-one due to fears of a misunderstanding.
The pair were said to be unlikely to meet again before the Duke of Sussex headed back to the US, reported The Times.
Sources told the outlets that both Charles and William wanted each other present for any meeting for fear that a ‘twisted version of events’ would leak out from Harry’s camp.
Harry is due to return to the UK again at the end of July for the unveiling of a memorial to his mother Princess Diana.
