Prince Harry is set to make a solo trip to the UK next month as part of his ongoing trial at the High Court \u2013 and he will use his visit to send a message to the royals, according to an expert\n

Prince Harry will likely reject an offer from the royal family when he returns to the UK next month as a form of \u201cprotest\u201d, a royal author has claimed.\n

Harry is expected to travel to London alone in the coming weeks in order to appear before the High Court for his ongoing trial against News Group Newspapers (NGN).\n

It\u2019s understood that wife\u00a0Meghan Markle\u00a0will remain at their Montecito home with their two children, as she has done on previous occasions.\n

Given\u00a0Harry\u2019s\u00a0fractured relationship with the\u00a0royals, it\u2019s not known if he will reunite with any members of his family during his trip in London.\u00a0Prince William\u00a0is said to have\u00a0completely cut ties\u00a0with his younger brother, while\u00a0King Charles\u00a0was\u00a0\u2018too busy\u2019 to see Harry\u00a0during his visit in London in May 2024.\n

Now, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam has predicted that Harry will turn down an offer to stay at\u00a0Buckingham Palace\u00a0next month, as some sort of protest.\n

He told GB News: \u201cWe do know that Buckingham Palace was offered for the last visit and rejected in favour of a hotel. Now, that\u2019s never been explained. I don\u2019t understand. It\u2019s obviously part of a protest.\u201d\n

He added: \u201cSo far as security is concerned, we know he\u2019s appealing the Home Office\u2019s decision not to automatically grant him security. Who would have thought he\u2019d prefer a hotel to Buckingham Palace?\u201d\n

It\u2019s been five years since Harry and Meghan\u00a0announced their decision\u00a0to step down as working royals. Since then, they have become practically estranged from the royals after making a series of scathing allegations against the monarchy. And the rift is all the more painful for King Charles for one particular reason.\n

The monarch is said to be greatly saddened by the fact he has only seen Harry and Meghan\u2019s children a handful of times. They are being raised in the States, thousands of miles away, and it\u2019s believed the King has only met granddaughter Lili bet just once since she was born. Instead, he has watched them grow up in rare photographs and clips of the siblings on Harry and Meghan\u2019s public social media.\n

Royal expert\u00a0Jennie Bond\u00a0told The\u00a0Mirror: \u201cIt must remain a great sadness to the King to be so distant from his two US-based grandchildren \u2013 he hardly knows them and there\u2019s no prospect of that changing any time soon. The early years in a child\u2019s life are so magical \u2013 and once they\u2019re gone, they\u2019re gone. I hope the King doesn\u2019t dwell on his loss too much, but it must hurt. Maybe, behind the scenes, Harry and Meghan have sent pictures to the King\u2026 we can but hope!\u201d\n

The Duke has only made a handful of trips back to the UK in recent years, attending the funeral of\u00a0Prince Philip\u00a0and the late Queen, and briefly visiting Charles after his cancer diagnosis. Having lost his tax-payer-funded security when he quit the\u00a0Royal Family, Harry has said he does not feel safe bringing his children and wife to the UK.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
