Prince Harry has yet to formally accept King Charles's offer of a royal residence for his upcoming UK visit, but a television appearance with a close friend may signal his itinerary. Comedian and host James Corden revealed on his Fox show "After Hours" that the Duke of Sussex is scheduled to appear in the coming weeks . The announcement comes as speculation swirls around the Duke's travel plans and an ongoing security dispute with the British government.

During a recent episode, Corden and his co-hosts, which included former England footballer Rio Ferdinand, engaged in a discussion ranking famous British figures named Harry. The list included pop star Harry Styles, footballer Harry Kane, and the fictional wizard Harry Potter. When the conversation reached Prince Harry, Corden paused to share that the Duke will join the program to discuss the topic further.

"Prince Harry is coming on the show in a few weeks' time. We'll discuss this fully then," Corden stated . The exact date of the taping remains unclear, but it is believed that Prince Harry could film the segment while he is in the UK for the 'One Year to Go' event for the Invictus Games .

The Duke's visit to his home country is currently a subject of intense media scrutiny. A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed that Harry will be undertaking both public and private engagements during his stay . However, the Duke has not yet provided confirmation on whether he will accept the King's offer to stay at a royal residence with his wife, Meghan, and their children, Archie and Lilibet .

Court sources have expressed frustration over the delay, noting that arrangements must be made for any guest of the King’s visiting a royal residence. For Prince Harry, the central issue surrounding the visit is not accommodation, but security. The Duke lost a legal challenge regarding his right to taxpayer-funded police protection while in the UK, a decision that has complicated his ability to bring his family.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes stated that the Duke continues to explore every available option to ensure the visit can proceed safely. They emphasized that safe accommodation is just one element of an effective protective security plan. The statement also criticized the lack of a meeting of the independent Risk Management Board, which was deemed necessary by RAVEC, the executive committee responsible for royal security .

It remains unclear if Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet will accompany Harry on the trip, as the security arrangements are still unresolved. The upcoming appearance on "After Hours" suggests that the Duke will be in the public eye during his time in the UK, potentially providing a platform to address his plans. This would not be Prince Harry’s first appearance with James Corden; the pair famously toured Los Angeles on a double-decker bus during a 2021 episode of "The Late Late Show."
