Summary
Harry arrived in Britain on Monday evening for a trip meant to promote his veterans charity competition and potentially ease tensions with King Charles III.
Confusion over the visit has dominated attention after Buckingham Palace and Harry’s team issued conflicting accounts of his plans, including whether he would stay at Buckingham Palace.
Security became a central obstacle after British authorities confirmed last week that Harry, Meghan and their two children would not receive publicly funded protection.
Meghan and the children are now no longer clearly expected to come, jeopardizing what could have been Charles’s first in-person meeting with his 7- and 5-year-old grandchildren in years.
The uncertainty underscores how fragile any royal rapprochement remains after Harry and Meghan left royal life in 2020 and later aired grievances in interviews, a memoir and a documentary.
