Harry's parents Tim Dunn and Charlotte Charles want Mrs Sacoolas to return to the UK to "face justice", and they have been exploring civil actions against her both in Britain and the US.

Family spokesman Radd Seiger has confirmed the CPS has invited Harry's parents to its London headquarters.

A file of evidence was handed to the CPS on 1 November after Northamptonshire Police interviewed Mrs Sacoolas in the US.
