Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is set to visit London and Birmingham for a series of charity events, but his return to the UK is clouded by a dispute with his royal family. Harry’s spokesman said he would not be staying at Buckingham Palace, citing a withdrawn offer of accommodation.

Background

Harry, who lives in the United States with his wife Meghan and their two children, had been due to stay at Buckingham Palace. However, the Household requires a minimum notice period to ensure a guest can be hosted at a Royal residence, and Harry’s spokesman said the offer was withdrawn at the last moment.

Harry’s trip coincides with an expected court judgment in his privacy claim against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail. His representative said it could be a factor in the offer withdrawal, but Buckingham Palace had been aware of the impending judgment.

Harry’s family, including his wife and children, were initially due to accompany him on the trip, but they will no longer be joining him due to a dispute with the government over security provisions.
