Prince Harry Won't Stay at Buckingham Palace After Missed Deadline

Prince Harry is once again at odds with the royal family: King Charles III rescinded an invitation for his son to stay at Buckingham Palace after Harry missed the response deadline.

According to the BBC, Harry was visiting London this week, and Charles offered him accommodation at the royal residence. However, Buckingham Palace set a deadline for a reply by the end of last week. Harry missed it, and the invitation was withdrawn, even though he later accepted.

Harry's spokesperson called the palace's decision "disappointing." The palace explained that an accommodation was offered, but Harry's team failed to confirm acceptance and formally declined on Saturday. Later, they changed their mind, but it was too late to make arrangements — Harry was informed he could not stay.

This is not the first sign of tension between Harry and the royal family since he stepped down as a senior royal in 2020. He rarely visits London now and often stays in hotels or with friends.

Sources say the incident highlights ongoing communication issues between Harry and the court. Experts believe it could affect future visits by the duke to the UK.

It remains unclear where Prince Harry will stay during his visit. He may choose a hotel or a friend's home. The royal family has not commented further.
