A homecoming four years in the making was meant to bring King Charles face-to-face with grandchildren he barely knows. Instead, Prince Harry's return to Britain last week unravelled into a very public row over where he would sleep, according to a leading royal author.
Archie and Lilibet arrived in the UK last week with Meghan, joining Harry after he had already begun a series of charity engagements, marking their first visit since the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022. What followed was a five-day tug-of-war between Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes, one that ended in a meeting so secret even the heir to the throne was reportedly kept in the dark.
