King Charles reportedly offered Prince Harry the use of a royal residence on his trip to the United Kingdom last week.
The Duke of Sussex spent some time in London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games but didn’t see his 75-year-old father, who is still receiving cancer treatment.
Friends of the monarch have revealed that he agreed to a request from his son to stay in one of the royal properties as he no longer has an official home in Britain, the Sunday Times newspaper reports.
Harry, who lives in California with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their children Prince Archie, 5, and 2-year-old Princess Lilibet, is thought to have ultimately opted for three nights in a hotel.
Friends of the King insisted that Harry hadn’t asked to see his father or invited him to the Invictus Thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral. People close to Harry insisted the request to see Charles was made well in advance of the trip, which had been “long on the radar”, and pointed out that he is required to give 28 days notice to the King and the Home Office to request security when he is in the UK.
