Prince Harry reportedly spent the U.K. trip trying to recover after a public palace setback. The Duke of Sussex had expected the visit to support future family plans. Instead, a new source claimed the withdrawn offer of his stay at Buckingham Palace left him embarrassed. Insiders claim that the blow was more than the trouble of lodging. Moreover, it affected Harry’s family security plans, forcing him to rethink his next royal move.
Prince Harry was left embarrassed after what happened surrounding the UK trip, claims insider
Closer Online reported that the setback centered on Prince Harry’s U.K. arrangements. His Buckingham Palace stay had allegedly been withdrawn before his visit. An insider said it was “a huge kick in the teeth” and that the Duke of Sussex was “highly embarrassed and anxious.”
The report also concerned “what the future holds from this point on,” adding he had “no choice except to go back to the drawing board.” The source said, “The door’s effectively been slammed shut in a very public and unedifying manner.”
Closer Online further mentioned that Harry was still trying to repair the damage. The insider said he was “trying to salvage the situation.” He was also “pushing for a face-to-face” with King Charles “during the trip.” The meeting was sought even if he “isn’t staying at the Palace.”
The source claimed, “He’d dearly love advice on how best to navigate the security issue moving forward.” That advice was meant to “bring” his wife, Meghan Markle, and their kids, Archie and Lilibet, to the U.K. in “due course.” The report tied it to “a full catch-up” they had been “planning out for months now.”
However, the source claimed the strategy looked uncertain after the royal blow. The insider said Harry was “grasping at straws.” They also blamed “all the chaos” that “preceded this latest UK visit.” The source claimed it “left a very sour taste in everyone’s mouth – especially his father’s.” For Harry, the report noted, the scramble had thus become damage control.
