Buckingham Palace has reportedly ruled out hosting Prince Harry during his visit to London this week, after what one Sussex insider described as a 'too late' response to an offer for the Duke of Sussex to stay at the royal residence.
For context, Harry is due back in the UK from Tuesday for five days of engagements linked to the Invictus Games' One Year to Go events, starting in London before moving on to Birmingham. It had briefly looked as though a rare moment of logistical co‑operation between the Palace and the Sussexes was on the cards, with a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex saying Harry would use Buckingham Palace as a base during the London leg of his trip.
