CBS News • • general
Key Points:
- Prince Harry's plans to stay at Buckingham Palace during his upcoming UK visit were thrown into confusion after the palace denied he would be accommodated there, contradicting his spokesperson's claim.
- Buckingham Palace stated Harry missed the deadline to accept the accommodation offer and that multiple requests for clarification went unanswered, leading to the offer being formally declined.
- Harry's team disputes this version, claiming the palace withdrew the offer after it had been formally accepted, creating conflicting narratives between both sides.
- The visit, intended to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games in Birmingham and to be Harry's first family trip back to the UK in four years, will now proceed without his wife Meghan and their children due to reportedly being refused royal protection.
- Harry's trip also coincides with an anticipated court judgment in his lawsuit against Associated Newspapers over alleged unlawful information gathering by the Daily Mail.
