The visit was intended to include events related to the Invictus Games in Birmingham, an event Harry founded for injured military personnel. However, Harry's request for taxpayer-funded police protection has reportedly been denied, prompting him to reconsider bringing his family. A source close to Harry told Sky News that the duke is exploring other options to ensure his family's safety during the visit.
The decision comes after a legal battle with the government over his level of security in the UK. Harry lost a court case last year against the Home Office concerning automatic police protection while in the UK. He has since been granted a full risk assessment and had been awaiting a final decision from the royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec).
The King has offered to put the family up at an unnamed royal residence, but there has been no public response to the offer. Harry previously stayed at Althorp House, Princess Diana's ancestral home, during visits to the UK. Staying at Althorp would allow Harry and his family to connect with Diana's memory while avoiding the media spotlight.
