Where could Harry be stopping this time in London, as he leaves the high court this afternoon?

Harry, Duke of Sussex, is set to return to the witness box at London’s high court this morning, with an estimated time of 10:30am when the case resumes. Harry is currently being cross-examined by Andrew Green KC - who many have claimed is a “beast” in the courtroom, though eyewitnesses in the courtroom have stated Harry has remained relatively calm so far.

We had a look at where Harry might be staying the last time he was in the United Kingdom, at that stage with regards to his accommodation during the coronation of King Charles III - but things have changed significantly for the Duke of Sussex since his last visit to the United Kingdom.

There is still bad blood between some of the Royals and Harry, which some believe stems from his apparent “snubbing” of attending a party at Buckingham Palace to toast the crowning of his father, and the ongoing sibling rivalry with Prince William has culminated in a painting at the National Portrait Gallery being taken down, though Kensington Palace have stated they were not behind any request.

Then there is the issue regarding hiring a security detail while in the United Kingdom, which many have claimed was the reason he made comparisons between the government and the newspapers he is currently embroiled in court with. So gone is the potential then that Harry can stop wherever he wants. 

We can rule out stopping at Frogmore Cottage also; the last members of the Royal family to be inhabiting the property were said to be Princess Eugenie, but with the news that she has given birth to her second child over the weekend, then perhaps Harry would be more of a hindrance than a help when it comes to being around a new mother.

Then there is talk that perhaps, while King Charles III is away on holiday in Transylvania, there might be some room in Buckingham Palace, away from certain members of the “establishment” that Harry had singled out throughout the pages of his memoir ‘Spare’ - the very memoir that may have landed him in hot water in the United States with regards to his US visa application.

So somewhere that has ample protection, away from the prying eyes of the press, and without the awkwardness of bumping into a member of the Royal team who may-or-may-not bear a grudge for his and Meghan’s continued attacks on Royal tradition at “the establishment.” Peopleworld has a look at some of his options this time around.

Where could Prince Harry be staying?

Royal Lodge

Given that Harry arrived at Westminster Abbey for the coronation of King Charles III with Prince Andrew and members of the Duke of York’s family, we think it would be fair to suggest that things between those members of the Royal family are still cordial with Harry. With Prince Andrew still “reluctant” to leave the Royal Lodge, in light of King Charles III’s cost cutting measures, it would be mutually beneficial - Harry gets a place to stay that he knows is secure, while Andrew can delay leaving the Royal residency by stating he’s being a good Uncle to the Royal family member.

Buckingham Palace

Despite his comments about the Royals and “the establishment” he grew up around, we know that King Charles III is still very fond of his youngest child; to the point that he even took a moment to toast the birthday of Prince Archie, who shared his birthday the same day as the coronation.

So it would be incredibly cruel if, at a very trying time for Harry, that he wasn’t afforded a modicum of home comforts stopping at Buckingham Palace. As our editor Marina Licht pointed out  - it’s big enough to accommodate Harry without having to bump into anyone that might have a grudge against him and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.

The Savoy

One of three hotels that reside a short distance from London’s high court, Harry might find himself with a secure enough detail that will allow him to stop in one of London’s most exclusive hotels. Surely, with the clientele that have frequented the establishment, they’re used to handling press intrusion.

Maybe Harry spent the evening in the Royal Suite; with furniture, furnishings and decorative items from the Gucci Décor Collection, Stately four-poster, king bed complete with a hand-sprung Savoir mattress and a spacious marble-clad bathroom, it’s a step up from the Ibis or Premier Inns that we imagine the high court put witnesses up that aren’t the same level of fame/infamy as Prince Harry.

Hilton London Riverside

Alternatively, he could look to the Presidential Suite at the Hilton London Riverside, which also has a history of sleeping high-profile names in the past. The room also boasts “stunning views” of London, while allowing for adjacent rooms to be accessed within other rooms, meaning the suite can also have adjacent rooms hired out either side for that extra level of security.

Interesting, if that wasn't an option, we couldn't help but notice that all the King Deluxe rooms were booked out between the 5 to the 7th of June. Begin speculating.

Park Plaza Westminster Bridge

The final accommodation option close to the London high court also happens to have a presidential suite, and again “stunning views” of London. However this location looks to be the closest also to where Harry will be giving information and witness testimony this morning.

The room, according to Park Plaza, “ is the ultimate in Central London accommodation, many with balconies looking out over Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. With a dining area, living room, a kitchenette and two bedrooms, plus additional amenities including a Nespresso coffee machine, you will truly be spoiled.”
