Prince Harry Attends London Premiere After Buckingham Palace Stay Is Withdrawn Ahead of 2027 Invictus Games

3 articles · Updated · The Cut · Jul 7

Summary

  • London saw Harry appear at the premiere of Misan Harriman’s documentary Shoot the People on Monday night, with his spokesperson saying he was in good form despite the accommodation dispute.
  • Buckingham Palace withdrew an offer for Harry to stay there after he accepted it over the weekend, with palace-linked accounts citing Tuesday’s judgment in his lawsuit against Associated Newspapers as a conflict risk for King Charles.
  • Harry’s camp said the delay came after RAVEC refused taxpayer-funded security for Meghan and their children outside royal property, forcing him to arrange alternative protection before confirming the stay.
  • That security setback scrapped plans for Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to join what would have been their first U.K. visit since 2022, even as Harry returned for the one-year countdown to Birmingham’s 2027 Invictus Games.
  • The episode leaves uncertain whether Harry will meet Charles during the trip, underscoring how legal and security disputes still complicate his visits home.
