Prince Harry was in London on Tuesday for Invictus Games and charity events, but despite advance reports he would be based at Buckingham Palace, the palace has reportedly told him he cannot stay there, citing 'staffing rules' and notice requirements for servicing the royal residence.

Harry, who stepped back as a working royal in 2020 and now lives in California, had been widely expected to use Buckingham Palace for part of his latest UK trip. His visit, without Meghan Markle or their children, comes against the backdrop of his long‑running security row with the British state and a fragile detente with King Charles after the pair briefly reunited in London earlier this year.
