Buckingham Palace Denies Prince Harry Accommodation Ahead Of UK Visit

Buckingham Palace has contradicted Prince Harry’s spokesperson, denying the Duke of Sussex would stay at the royal residence during his upcoming UK visit. Harry’s spokesperson claimed he had accepted an invitation to stay at the palace, but Buckingham Palace said he missed a deadline to confirm the offer. Sources tell CBS News the palace made multiple requests for clarification but received no formal response. The offer was declined Saturday, then belatedly accepted after the deadline had passed. Harry’s team, however, claims the palace withdrew an already-accepted offer. Harry’s family — wife Meghan, son Archie, and daughter Lilibet — will not join the London leg after royal protection was reportedly refused. The five-day visit marks the one-year countdown to the Birmingham Invictus Games.
