Prince Harry didn’t give his father enough notice to stay at
Buckingham Palace and so he’ll have to find other accommodation
while in the UK.

On the day Harry is set to arrive in England, July 6, it was
reported that he had been barred from staying at the Palace.
Initial reports didn’t go into reasons, they merely stated that the
prince could no longer take up residence at the palace.

Further investigation showed just why Harry is staying
elsewhere. On July 4, it is understood he formally declined the
offer of a room at the palace during his UK trip. For over a week,
it was reported that he and his family would stay at a royal
residence during their time in the UK. However, after revealing at
the weekend that only the Duke of Sussex would be coming to the
capital, it appears Buckingham Palace was told that he wouldn’t
take up the offer of accommodation there.

It now appears that Prince Harry changed his mind late on July 4
and asked for a room at the palace. He was subsequently told that
the communication was too late and the rooms were no longer
available.

It’s been reported that this is because it was too late notice
to staff his stay – decisions about who was working when had
already been made and it was too late in the day to change
them.

Harry has already said that he doesn’t want to bring the Duchess
of Sussex or their two children to London as he doesn’t believe the
security they will have is enough to keep them safe.

He is currently seeking top level automatic protection for
himself, Meghan, Archie and Lili while they are in the UK but has
been rejected several times.

It’s not yet known whether the Duchess of Sussex and the
couple’s two children will join Harry during other pats of his time
in the UK.

The Duke of Sussex is set to attend events marking one year to
go until the Invictus Games – these will take place in Birmingham
and the reports that the family wouldn’t travel to London have been
seen as an indication that they might yet spend some time in the
UK.
