‘Prince Harry is playing the victim once again – but his poor me routine doesn’t wash’
Following on from Prince Harry’s most recent return to the UK, a debate has been sparked about whether the Duke was invited to stay at a royal residence – something which have made it easier for Harry to have a brief meeting with his father.
While representatives from both parties claim different conversations took place, it has been reported that Prince Harry rejected the offer to stay at a residence such as St James’s Palace, Clarence House or Buckingham Palace over fears for his security.
