‘Frustrated’ Prince Harry takes up Royal residence offer

Prince Harry has changed residence plans over upcoming trip to UK

Published June 24, 2026

Prince Harry is forced to live in a Royal residence due to inconvenient security arrangements.

The Duke of Sussex, who is set to return to the UK alongside wife Meghan Markle and their kids this July, has seemingly accepted King Charles’ offer to reside in a Royal residence.

A source tells Express: "He has grown increasingly frustrated with the whole process and has had to alter his standpoint.

"From initially being told a decision would be made within a matter of weeks, it is now more than six months on. He (Harry) was determined to travel back to the UK with his family around the Invictus event, so he has finally made the decision to accept the offer of staying at a royal residence which he believes will be sufficient for this trip,” the source added.

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
