July 6 (UPI) —<\/span> A confusing situation played out Monday in the British royal family, as a representative for Prince Harry<\/a> first said the prince had accepted an invitation to stay at the royal residence for one night — only for royal authorities to announce that he was not welcome after all.<\/p>\n

Representatives for both Prince Harry, the duke of Sussex, and Buckingham Palace<\/a> had different stories about the events leading up to the about-face, BBC News reported.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Prince Harry arrived Monday for a weeklong stay in Britain<\/a>, with his family possibly arriving later this week.<\/p>\n

The prince’s camp said Buckingham Palace withdrew an offer that had been formally accepted. The palace, however, said it offered accommodation to the prince, who did not confirm if he would accept and then declined the offer, only to change his mind later that day. By then, the palace said, it was too late to make arrangements, The Guardian reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Prince Harry, his wife, Meghan Markle<\/a>, and their children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, live in California. The prince and his wife stepped back from the role of senior royals in 2020.\n<\/p>\n

Tension between the prince (the younger son of King Charles III) and other members of the royal family has continued, although Harry and King Charles met last year for a conversation. This trip was expected to be the first time his children met their grandfather since 2022.<\/p>\n

Harry is in Britain to promote various charities and the 2027 Invictus Games for injured military personnel and veterans around the world. The games are expected to take place in Birmingham, where the prince will travel later this week.<\/p>\n

Originally, the duke of Sussex’s entire family was going to travel to both London and Birmingham, but the government declined his request for a security detail outside royal residences. Meghan and the children may meet the prince in Birmingham for the second half of the trip. It was not clear if they would meet the king.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
