The love of family time and adventure and belly laughs made this trip one for the books! Here's to many more adventures with friends that feel like family and appreciating each day."
The trip comes as the Duke and Duchess are believed to be keeping a low profile after the Duke suffered a defeat in his case against the UK Home Office. Harry was trying to overturn a ruling which saw his security downgraded after he stopped being a "working royal", as he cited concerns over his safety and that of his wife and two young children.
Following the High Court ruling, details of Harry's case have been made public - including his fears for his family when he visits Britain. Much of the proceedings, which covered security arrangements for senior figures, were held in private in December, with the ruling issued by retired judge Sir Peter Lane on Wednesday.
Sir Lane rejected the Duke's case and concluded Ravec's approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair. Sir Peter said Harry's lawyers had taken "an inappropriate, formalist interpretation of the Ravec process". The Duke's lawyers said he was "singled out" and treated "less favourably" by the body.
In December, when the challenge was made, Home Office lawyers told the High Court that Harry would still have publicly-funded police security, but these would be "bespoke arrangements, specifically tailored to him", rather than the automatic security provided for full-time working royals. The Duke revealed he plans to appeal the decision.
A legal spokesperson for Harry said in a statement that the Duke "hopes to obtain justice from the Court of Appeal". They said: "The Duke of Sussex will appeal today's judgment which refuses his judicial review claim against the decision-making body Ravec, which includes the Home Office, the Royal Household and the Met Police.
"Although these are not labels used by Ravec, three categories – as revealed during the litigation – comprise the ‘Ravec cohort’: the Role Based Category, the Occasional Category and the Other VIP Category.

Prince Harry was dealt a crushing blow in the High Court on Wednesday (PA)"The Duke is not asking for preferential treatment, but for a fair and lawful application of Ravec's own rules, ensuring that he receives the same consideration as others in accordance with Ravec’s own written policy.
"In February 2020, Ravec failed to apply its written policy to the Duke of Sussex and excluded him from a particular risk analysis. he duke’s case is that the so-called 'bespoke process' that applies to him, is no substitute for that risk analysis.
