Charles<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The Duke of Sussex arrived in Britain for a week of engagements linked to the countdown to the <strong>2027 Invictus Games<\/strong> in Birmingham, with a possible visit to his father expected to be one of the most closely watched parts of the trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure

class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The timing is delicate, with <strong>Charles <\/strong>continuing cancer treatment and Harry\u2019s relationship with the royal family still strained after years of public criticism and legal battles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The visit was thrown into fresh uncertainty after an offer for <strong>Harry <\/strong>to stay at <strong>Buckingham Palace<\/strong> was withdrawn shortly before his arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>Palace <\/strong>sources have suggested the duke didn&#8217;t accept the accommodation offer in time, while Harry\u2019s team has pushed back strongly and blamed unresolved security arrangements.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Despite the disagreement, one source close to the Invictus Games insisted <strong>Harry<\/strong> remains eager to see his father.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cHarry is still keen to see <strong>Charles<\/strong>, which he is looking forward to,\u201d the insider told the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Palace stay row complicates Harry\u2019s return<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The accommodation dispute has become the latest flashpoint between the Sussexes and the Palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harry <\/strong>had reportedly been offered a night at a royal residence, but that offer was later withdrawn after what royal sources described as delays in accepting it.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">A spokesman for Harry rejected that version and said security issues affected the timing of the decision.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cI am aware of multiple briefings from Buckingham Palace last week suggesting that the duke had not accepted the offer of accommodation at a royal residence,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cFollowing RAVEC\u2019s decision not to provide security for his family, the duke spent last week making alternative security arrangements.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cOnce those arrangements were in place, he was able to formally accept the offer of accommodation for himself over the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The spokesman called the withdrawal \u201cdisappointing,\u201d arguing that the Palace had already been aware of the relevant legal timetable.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cIt is therefore unclear why, having formally accepted the accommodation offer, it has now been withdrawn at the last moment,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Meghan and children remain part of bigger question<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The row has also raised questions about whether <strong>Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet<\/strong> will travel to Britain during the wider visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Sussex children have not seen <strong>King Charles<\/strong> in the UK since Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">A source close to the Invictus camp said the family still hopes a visit can happen if safety concerns are resolved.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cThey are working on ways that this can happen safely,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>Meghan <\/strong>is still expected at Invictus events in Birmingham, though no final decision has been confirmed on whether the children will join.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harry <\/strong>is also expected to visit Althorp Estate, where his mother, <strong>Princess Diana<\/strong>, is buried.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\"
