Key developments are emerging from the global stage.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been offered a royal residence to stay in during their visit to the UK with their children next month. Prince Harry and Meghan will be accompanied by Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five for the family's first trip to the country in four years.

News understands that the family has been offered accommodation on a royal estate but have not yet responded to the invitation. On previous visits, Prince Harry has declined the offer to stay at Buckingham Palace due to security concerns over using such a high profile, visible building.

The Details

It is not clear which royal residence has been made available to the family this time round. Prince Harry had already committed to a series of events in the UK next month to mark a year to go to the Invictus Games for injured military personnel. The Games will be hosted in Birmingham next July.

In a News interview last year, Prince Harry spoke of his desire for a "reconciliation" with the Royal Family. The last time the King saw his grandchildren in person was during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022. During a visit to the UK in September last year, Prince Harry met his father at Clarence House, which was their first face to face meeting since February 2024.

While the security arrangements around the family visit remain unclear, it is understood that no extra security provision has been offered by Buckingham Palace. Any additional security provision will be a matter for the Home Office. Buckingham Palace will not comment on the possibility of the King meeting his son, daughter in law and grandchildren, describing it as a private family matter.
