There may be more to the story regarding why Prince Harry wasn’t allowed to stay at a royal residence during his trip to England.
In the Tuesday, July 14 edition of Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice Substack, a source claimed King Charles III‘s “biggest concern wasn’t logistics—it was his staff.”
“Many employees feel deeply hurt by what Harry has said about the Royal Family,” the source shared. “They’re fiercely loyal to the institution, and the King didn’t want to force them into welcoming someone they believe betrayed it.”
Sources told Shuter that the royal household is currently extra cautious about how staff feels, as it’s been difficult to find and keep experienced workers.

“The King wasn’t just thinking about Harry,” a second insider insisted. “He was thinking about the people who keep the monarchy running every day. The last thing he wanted was staff refusing to help — or worse, deciding to leave.”
Shuter’s sources also pointed to the staffing issues with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor earlier this year.
In February, an insider told The Sun that as the disgraced royal family member made his move from the Royal Lodge to the family’s Sandringham estate, staff were “told they don’t have to serve Andrew or work for him if they feel uncomfortable.”
“There is already quite a list [of people] saying no thanks,” the insider alleged. “There is understandably a lot of disquiet as he is now a total pariah.”

As In Touch previously reported, the palace initially offered to provide royal accommodations for the 41-year-old Duke of Sussex during his visit to England earlier this month.
However, Harry’s rep told Page Six on Monday, July 6, “having formally accepted the accommodation offer, it has now been withdrawn at the last moment.”
Buckingham Palace had a different version of events. The palace said Harry declined the offer on Saturday, July 4, then changed his mind that day, making it too difficult to accommodate him and properly staff it, per the BBC. The palace said Harry was alerted to this news on Saturday night.
