Overview
- Prince Harry, who arrived in London on Monday, is carrying out WellChild and Invictus-related public engagements without Meghan Markle or their children.
- A Royal and VIP Executive Committee decision at the Home Office declined state-funded police protection for the Sussex family, forcing Harry to travel solo and complicating plans for the visit.
- Meghan’s office has confirmed she will not attend any public events this week, yet several outlets report she and the children may still travel to join Harry for brief, off-camera family time.
- King Charles has asked senior aides to press talks with the Sussex camp to find a private slot in his diary so he might see Harry and the grandchildren.
- Harry lost his High Court privacy claim against Associated Newspapers this week, and a separate dispute over a late or withdrawn offer of accommodation at Buckingham Palace has left him making private lodging plans, reportedly with his uncle at Althorp.
