HARRY will not stay at Buckingham Palace during his return to the UK, despite reports.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, is due to arrive in the capital today for a long-awaited visit to his homeland.
Amid security concerns raised by the Sussexes it is understood that the monarch had made available a royal home to Harry, Meghan and the children.
Charles reportedly offered up space in Buckingham Palace for the family to stay in – which would have come with existing security.
The King’s offer has since been rescinded however, with a palace source saying the Duke had failed to accept Charles’ invitation despite reports to the contrary.
It is understood that Harry failed to respond to the offer in time – leading to the Palace withdrawing the invitation.
Harry also reportedly declared the accommodation unsuitable before officially declining the King’s offer.
He then later requested to stay at the palace himself without Meghan and the kids, palace sources said.
It is understood this request was declined as the provisions required to host him were no longer available.
Sources said that accommodation at a royal residence would be offered to Harry and his family for any future visits to the UK.
Security concerns left it unclear if Meghan, 44, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, would join Harry in the UK.
Harry and Meghan previously confirmed that their children would not be coming to London after it was revealed the Sussexes had lost a bid for official taxpayer-funded security.
According to a source Harry was “still looking at options” to make the visit work “in some form”, with it unclear if the rest of his family will join him later in the trip.
Harry previously said it was “impossible” to bring his family to the UK and that it is “sad” that he won’t be able to show his children his homeland.
This came after he lost his lengthy High Court battle last year for taxpayer-funded armed bodyguards in the wake of Megxit.
Harry had planned to take his children to Althorp, in Northants, for a visit to the final resting place of his late mother, Princess Diana – a plan which is now in doubt.
Royal Household sources last week told The Sun they were “weary” and “wary” about the ever-changing plans for Harry and his family’s return.
