King Charles offered the Sussexes royal accommodations for their visit.
While the Spare author is reportedly looking into other options to try to make his trip to the U.K. still happen, he “fears this would not be possible without proper security arrangements."
“He’s looking at every option to try and get the family here safely and keep them safe when they’re on the ground,” the source said. “If he can find a way to do that, he will.”
“The hope is they can meet their grandfather, but there is no way that can happen if they are chased by paparazzi,” the insider went on. “He won’t put his children through that.”
King Charles Offered Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Royal Accommodations
Prince Harry is 'looking at every option to try and get the family here safely.'
“Harry is reassessing things,” a different source told The Sun. “Ultimately, he is going to do everything he can to find a way to bring them over safely.”
Charles, 77, also offered Harry and Meghan, 44, royal accommodations, however, the location has not been revealed.
According to People, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) has not yet done a Risk Management Board review of Harry's security settlements.
If the Sussexes plan to stay at one of Charles' residences, they would be protected under the existing security arrangements at the homes.
Harry and the Suits star reportedly plan to stay in both royal properties and in private accommodations during their U.K. visit.
