King Charles is understood to have offered the Sussexes accommodation at a royal lodge on the Windsor estate, a gesture seen by many courtiers as an olive branch after years of tension. According to royal commentator Richard Eden, however, Harry has refused to accept the offer unless it comes with round-the-clock police protection funded by the British taxpayer.
