The toddler will be celebrating his third birthday at home in Montecito, California with his mum and dad, Prince Harry and Meghan, and sister Lilibet.
It comes after Harry and Meghan returned to the UK last month for a secret meeting with the Queen at Windsor Castle, before heading to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands.
Prince Harry gave insight into the meeting in an interview on NBC’s Today Show, saying: “She’s always got a great sense of humour with me.”
He said the Queen was “on great form” following Covid and added: "I’m just making sure that she’s protected and got the right people around her."
The couple may return to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee in June.
