Prince Harry arrived in Britain on Monday for a scheduled five‑day visit, and the trip is proceeding as planned with no changes to the itinerary (express.co.uk reported).

He will not be joined by his wife Meghan and their children, as his request for police protection for them was denied. He was informed that his application for a security package for the visit had been denied (gdelt reported). Harry said he did not feel it was safe to bring his children to the UK after being told he would not be permitted armed protection during his stay (express.co.uk reported).

The family will not receive taxpayer‑funded protection while in the United Kingdom except when within royal residences (gdelt reported), and the children are not expected to attend any public events during the visit (gdelt reported). Meghan had been scheduled to join Prince Harry on visits to the Royal Hospital Chelsea and an Invictus event at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham (gdelt reported). Archie is seven years old and Lilibet is five years old (SCMP reported).

Prince Harry will not stay at Buckingham Palace during his London visit (China and Western outlets corroborated). He received an invitation from King Charles to stay at a royal residence (other outlets corroborated), but was told he could not stay at Buckingham Palace after failing to accept an invitation in time (SCMP reported).

Harry’s spokesperson said he will look at all options to allow his wife and children to accompany him after his bid to secure enhanced security provisions was declined (express.co.uk reported).
