July 6 (UPI) -- A confusing situation played out Monday in the British royal family, as a representative for Prince Harry first said the prince had accepted an invitation to stay at the royal residence for one night -- only for royal authorities to announce that he was not welcome after all.

A fresh dispute has erupted between Prince Harry and Buckingham Palace just before his London visit, with both sides giving sharply different accounts over a withdrawn accommodation offer that could complicate a meeting with King Charles.

King Charles III’s wayward son is traveling to the land of his birth for a series of charity engagements that begin Tuesday.

Prince Harry's representatives claim that Buckingham Palace offered and then withdrew an invitation for him to stay at the palace during his trip to the U.K. this week.

The drama that seems to surround Prince Harry returns to the U.K. this week, and the previews already have the British press buzzing with anticipation.

Prince Harry won't stay at Buckingham Palace during his time in the UK and this is the reason why.
