The palace suspended its residence Prince Harry With her upcoming visit to London, tensions are rising within the royal family. The development comes as the Duke of Sussex plans to be in the United Kingdom for a major court hearing from July 7.According to PEOPLE magazine, the Palace initially invited Prince Harry to stay at the palace while he was in town. Duke reportedly agreed to the deal on Saturday, July 4. However, the deal was withdrawn that night, according to the publication.
Competing explanation of withdrawal
Prince Harry’s representative issued a statement to the site discussing the sudden change. The statement described the sequence of events that led to the accommodation dispute. “I am aware of a briefing from Buckingham Palace last week which suggests that the Duke has not accepted a place at the Royal Residence,” the representative said.The statement went on to explain acceptance and withdrawal. “Following RAVEC’s decision not to provide security for his family, Duke spent the last week making other security arrangements. Once those arrangements were made, he officially agreed to find a place to stay for the weekend.”The representative expressed disappointment at the sudden termination. “So it is disappointing that the offer has now been withdrawn, and Tuesday’s decision in the case of Associated Newspapers Limited was cited as the reason. Buckingham Palace, however, has been aware of the decision since last Thursday. So it is not clear why, after officially agreeing to provide accommodation, it has now been withdrawn at the last minute,” said the statement.

Another matter of time
However, the BBC gave another story related to this. According to the press release, Prince Harry “did not respond in time to find a place to stay at the Palace” and was informed on Saturday evening that he would not be able to stay at the Palace. This explanation suggests that there is a formal problem rather than a deliberate departure based on an upcoming decision.
An article about security and litigation
The accommodation dispute comes amid ongoing security concerns over Prince Harry’s visit. The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures has confirmed that it will not provide taxpayer-funded security for the Duke’s family during their visit to the UK, which has led to many problems with the planned visit.Prince Harry’s trial against Associated Newspapers Limited will begin on July 7, the first day of his visit to London. The timing of the removal of accommodation in accordance with the decision also represents a further complication in the already difficult situation of returning to the United Kingdom.
