A UK trip on the horizon may have spurred Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to settle their protection dispute. A source says that the Sussexes have agreed to stay at the royal residence, driven by “frustration”. The statement marks a major turning point in the Prince’s ongoing security conflict and his ties with the royal household.
Prince Harry has decided to stay at the royal residence during UK visit for this reason
Prince Harry will stay at Buckingham Palace for his summer visit to Britain with Meghan Markle and their children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5.
According to RadarOnline.com, the Prince will be visiting the UK next month for activities marking one year until the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. The trip would mark the family’s first joint return to Britain since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
The move follows prolonged uncertainty about Prince Harry’s requests for taxpayer-funded security during UK visits. It comes after King Charles III extended an invitation to stay at a royal residence.
An insider said, “Harry has become increasingly exasperated by what he sees as an unnecessarily drawn-out process. He went into this expecting clarity within a matter of weeks, having been given repeated indications that a decision was imminent, yet more than six months later, he is still waiting for a definitive answer. There is a growing sense of frustration that he has been left in limbo while trying to make plans for his family.”
The source also noted that the 41-year-old had long refused to compromise on security. But he values the Invictus Games highly and therefore plans to attend Birmingham with his family. Facing likely delays, he reluctantly agreed that a royal residence is the most practical option now. The Prince believes that it offers enough security for the trip to go ahead.
Prince Harry, however, maintains his stance that threats to his safety continue despite leaving royal duties in 2020. Although a new security review is reportedly complete, sources say that he hasn’t been notified of the outcome.
