Prince Harry, who usually resides in California with his wife Duchess Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet, returned to his homeland of Britain for a few days at the beginning of May. His stay was dedicated to the “Invictus Games”, a project that is of particular interest to him. During his visit to Britain there will be no meeting with his father King Charles III or his brother Prince William, with whom Harry has had a long-standing strained relationship. According to a report by “The TelegraphCharles made Harry an offer, which the prince rejected.

Prince Harry preferred a hotel

As a result, Charles is said to have offered his youngest son a night's stay at one of his royal residences during the three days he was in Britain. Harry and Meghan have not had their own home in Britain for some time. But Harry is said to have preferred to stay in a hotel rather than stay with his father.

While he attributed his inability to meet Charles to his busy schedule, the cancellation of the stay was due to an entirely different reason: Harry, who is no longer under police protection in Britain, reportedly had security concerns. At one of the royal residences, such as St James's Palace, he would have been housed in a “visible location with public entrances and exits and no police protection,” according to The Telegraph. However, he managed to remain unnoticed in a hotel.
