Whether Meghan, Archie and Lilibet will accompany the Duke of Sussex remains unclear
The Duke of Sussex is expected to travel back to Britain in September for a series of commitments linked to the annual WellChild Awards, with King Charles once more offering him accommodation at Buckingham Palace, GB News understands.
The renewed invitation would represent a significant olive branch from the monarch, coming just weeks after a public row over Prince Harry's failure to secure a room at the Palace during his July visit to the UK.
On that occasion, the 41-year-old's indecision left Harry to arrange private accommodation instead.
Sources have told the People's Channel that this time the duke intends to confirm his acceptance of the Palace stay well ahead of schedule, avoiding a repeat of the embarrassing dispute that overshadowed his earlier trip.
For his September return, sources suggest Harry plans to confirm the Palace arrangement with ample time to spare.
Since being evicted from Frogmore Cottage three years ago, the duke has been offered secure lodging at royal residences during his UK visits.
He currently provides the Royal Household and police with 28 days' advance notice of his arrivals.
The requirement for adequate preparation time was at the heart of the July disagreement, with the Palace insisting that a minimum notice period is essential to properly staff and ready a royal residence.
Royal author Robert Jobson described the King's repeated offer as an encouraging signal. "Obviously there does appear to be a sense that it's a gradual process and things are improving," he told the Sun.
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, struck a more cautionary tone. "Harry realises it is a very generous offer by his father and needs to respect that this time and be gracious about it," she said.
"This is a chance perhaps for Harry to show his father he knows how to behave."
Whether Meghan and the couple's two children will accompany the duke on his September trip remains unclear. Charles is anticipated to be at Balmoral for his summer break in early September.
However, last year he flew to London specifically to see Harry at Clarence House for a 45-minute meeting.
Harry's earlier visit this month saw him return to the UK for five days of engagements across London and Birmingham.
The trip was marred by confusion after his team initially exclusively told GB News that he would be staying at Buckingham Palace, citing direct conversations with the King.
Those claims were publicly contradicted within minutes, just hours before the duke was due to land in Britain.
Palace sources maintained that Harry had been given several weeks to respond to the accommodation offer but had left it too late.
Royal officials explained that the necessary staffing and hospitality preparations could no longer be arranged, rendering the stay logistically impossible.
Harry's spokesman then released a pointed statement expressing "disappointment" and alleging that Buckingham Palace had pulled the invitation "at the last moment."
Despite the accommodation dispute, Harry's July trip ultimately concluded on a positive note. The duke, along with Meghan and their children Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, gathered privately with Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove, the King's Gloucestershire estate.
