Prince Harry has been sent a brutal message by Buckingham Palace, after they announced the Duke of Sussex will not be staying there. This comes despite Harry’s team announcing that the duke had accepted an invitation to do so. Royal sources have indicated Harry had not responded in time to the accommodation offer, thus informing him he would not be able to stay there.
Meghan Markle has vowed to never return to the United Kingdom to see the Royal Family again after a series of complications threw Prince Harry's homecoming into disarray.
It was previously reported that the Duchess of Sussex would be joining her husband for the five-day visit along with their children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, to attend the one year to go Invictus Games events in London and Birmingham.
However, a royal expert has revealed that the 44-year-old has pulled the plug on the plans after Prince Harry was denied taxpayer-funded security for the family and had his accommodation offer from Buckingham Palace withdrawn "at the last moment".
Buckingham Palace has denied Prince Harry will stay there during his trip to the UK, despite the Duke of Sussex saying he had accepted an invitation. Prince Harry’s spokesperson said it was “disappointing that the offer has now been withdrawn” partly because of the impending judgment on the Associated Newspapers Limited case. “It is therefore unclear why, having formally accepted the accommodation offer, it has now been withdrawn at the last moment.”
“This was one insult too many,” Rob Shuter revealed on his Naughty But Nice Substack.
According to the journalist, well-placed sources say that Meghan feels like she and Harry have “bent over backwards" for his relatives, "only to be embarrassed again".
“As far as she’s concerned, she’ll never see them again,” he added.
Shuter says that the Duchess of Sussex had predicted there may be drama surrounding the Prince's UK return and is said to have warned the royal that this would happen.
News Corp columnist Angela Mollard argues Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Prince Harry have "decimated" the standing of the Royal Family. “They still command audiences and viewers … the issue is when I was reporting on the Royals back in the 90s, the monarchy operated separately to celebrity. Now, it’s like a sort of subset of celebrity,” Ms Mollard told Sky News host James Morrow. “With Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Harry, the standing of the monarchy in people’s eyes has decimated.”
“She believes every time he reaches out to his family, they find another way to reject him. She’s done. She has no interest in ever putting herself, or her children, through this again.”
On Monday, an official statement revealed that King Charles' son would not be staying at Buckingham Palace, despite Harry's spokesperson, Liam Maguire, announcing just hours earlier that he had accepted his father's invitation.
Well-placed sources claim that Harry did not reply to the Palace's offer before the deadline, and he was told on Saturday that logistics would not allow him to stay there.
According to Buckingham Palace, Harry's representatives formally declined the invitation on Saturday, but pulled a one-eighty on their decision later that day and accepted.
BBC additionally reported that the Palace had concerns about the Duke of Sussex staying at a royal residence around the same time as a result would be published of his court case against Associated Newspapers, which the Prince lost on Tuesday.
To make matters worse, Harry's appeal for taxpayer-funded police protection for him and his family during his five-day stay was denied last month.
The Duke of Sussex's access to police protection was taken away when he and Meghan walked away from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to the United States.
Despite submitting a review into his request for taxpayer-funded security for his family during their upcoming UK trip, Harry's appeal was officially rejected by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC).
