Prince Harry decided to bring Meghan Markle, Archie and Lilibet only following assurances from Buckingham Palace.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly accepted King Charles offer and decided to stay at royal residence, it has been claimed.

According to a report by the Telegraph, the California-based royal couple will stay at a royal residence with their children Archie and Lilibet when they return to the UK next month.

The report says, “The family was offered accommodation and security provision by the King in a move that signalled a clear desire to be reunited with his young grandchildren.”

The fresh claims came after reports Harry and his wife Meghan will visit the UK with their two children, their first family trip back to the country since 2022.

The couple left Britain in 2020 when in a shocking move Harry stepped back as a working royal and moved to US with his family.

But he has said he would like to reconcile with his father, King Charles.

Harry had reportedly been planning to visit the UK this summer to mark the one-year countdown towards next year´s Invictus Games.

Meghan and Harry last visited Britain with their children for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022, just a few months before her death in September that year.

Prince Harry has insisted he would "always be part of the royal family" despite the public rift, including a falling out with his brother Prince William.

However, the outlet claimed Harry decided to bring Meghan, his kids to UK following assurances from Buckingham Palace.

The invitation to stay within the security cordon of a royal residence meant the Duke felt confident enough to bring his wife and children back for the first time in four years.

Prince Harry is said to be looking forward to introducing Archie and Lilibet to family and friends, as well as aspects of royal and British culture they do not experience growing up in Montecito, California.

He had previously said that without adequate, state-backed protection, they would not be safe, and that he could not risk putting them “in danger”.
