Prince Harry 'Devastated' After King Charles Offered Accommodation but Not Security Ahead of UK Visit

Prince Harry was reportedly left 'devastated' after being told he would not receive full police protection for his family's planned visit to the UK, even though King Charles had offered them accommodation at a royal residence. The Duke of Sussex had believed the invitation signalled a possible shift in his security arrangements ahead of what would be his children's first trip to Britain in years.

According to reports, Prince Harry confirmed plans to travel to the UK with Meghan Markle, Archie and Lilibet next week for engagements linked to Birmingham's hosting of the 2027 Invictus Games. However, he is said to have reconsidered the visit within hours after being informed by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) that his family would not receive taxpayer-funded, round‑the‑clock police protection while travelling outside the royal residence.
