Prince Harry told he replied too late to stay at Buckingham Palace amid confusion over UK visit
CNN • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Prince Harry will not stay at Buckingham Palace during his London visit this week because he missed the deadline to formally accept King Charles' offer of royal accommodation, according to a royal source.
- There was confusion over accommodation arrangements, with an initial refusal followed by a late acceptance for Harry alone, but it was too late for palace staff to prepare hospitality.
- Harry had hoped to bring Meghan and their children, but they remain in the U.S. amid ongoing disputes over their police protection, and it is unclear if they will join him later.
- Harry's spokesman claims the accommodation offer was initially accepted but then withdrawn last minute, citing the upcoming legal judgment in his phone hacking case against Associated Newspapers Limited as the reason.
- The visit marks the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games, but ongoing security disagreements with the UK government continue, and hopes for a family reunion with King Charles remain uncertain.
