QUESTIONS are swirling over where Prince Harry will stay on his UK visit after handing over his Frogmore keys - as Meghan stays at home.
Harry is today flying to Britain to be with King Charles after the monarch's shock cancer diagnosis.
Meghan, 42, is set to stay behind at their Montecito mansion with children Archie, 4, and two-year-old Lilibet.
It is not yet known where Harry will stay while visiting Charles in the UK.
Last year Charles ordered Harry and Meghan to vacate Frogmore Cottage, their home in Windsor.
The Sussexes now reportedly need a "formal invitation" to be able to stay with the royals on "protected property".

When Harry returned to the UK for a charity event on the anniversary of the Queen's death last September, his request to stay on the royal estate was refused.
Harry instead stayed in a hotel on his trip to present the annual WellChild awards in London.
He had reportedly asked to stay at Windsor Castle, letting him visit the Queen's tomb at St George's Chapel.
Royal sources told the Telegraph that Harry could be put up on the crown estate when possible - but the palace must be given enough warning before a visit.

Harry did not meet Charles on his September visit because of a reported diary clash.
Charles is reportedly keen for Prince Andrew to move into Frogmore Cottage after Harry and Meghan handed over the keys.
Andrew, who no longer has official duties, shares the sprawling 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor with just his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
King Charles is said to be keen for Andrew, who was given Royal Lodge on a long-term lease by the Queen Mother, to leave the £30million home as part of plans to scale down the monarchy.
But Andrew has forked out £7million of his own money for roof repairs - and is allegedly refusing to move out for them.
The duke reportedly suspects that if he moves to Frogmore while Royal Lodge undergoes repairs, he may never return.
Princess Eugenie currently lives in Frogmore Cottage with her husband and children.

ON HIS WAY HOME
Harry arrived at a private LAX terminal in his black Range Rover this morning, after Charles personally told him about his cancer diagnosis.
He is due to land in the UK around midday today to be with King Charles, 75, as soon as possible.
It is understood flood warnings and stormy weather in California had previously delayed the Duke in his travels.
Charles informed Harry of his diagnosis by phone, in what is understood to have been warm conversations, before Buckingham Palace issued its announcement at 6pm on Monday.
It remains unclear when the King, 75, will be able to resume full-time public appearances.
The Monarch yesterday began a schedule of regular treatments and postponed front line duties on doctor's advice.
His Majesty carried out a staggering 516 engagements last year, including 94 trips abroad.
However, King Charles will continue with his weekly audiences with the Prime Minister, but they may have to be scaled back on the advice of doctors.
In the meantime, other Royals, including the Queen, will continue with a full programme of public duties.
What we know so far:
- The King has been diagnosed with a form of cancer
- Prince Harry rushed to the airport in LA to fly home to support his father
- Meghan will remain in California with their children
- The King personally called his siblings and children to tell them of his diagnosis
- Charles is receiving expert care from specialist doctors
- His Majesty returned from Sandringham to London to begin treatment
- Doctors advised the King to postpone public-facing Royal duties
- Camilla and William will step up to share the weight of the King's duties during his treatment
- Charles will continue to receive Red Boxes and State documents
- Charles and Camilla shared a cancer message just a day before announcing his diagnosis
They are also likely to undertake additional duties on behalf of the King whilst he is out of action.
Yesterday's announcement came just eight days after His Majesty was released from hospital following a "corrective procedure" for an enlarged prostate.
But a "separate issue of concern was noted" during his stay - and tests went on to find cancer.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman stated: "Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.
"Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.
"The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure.

"He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
"His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."
How Charles bravely revealed diagnosis to help others
KING Charles has bravely broken with royal protocol by sharing his cancer diagnosis.
Senior royals have in past been tight-lipped about their health battles.
The last top royal diagnosed with cancer was Charles's grandfather George VI.
Heavy smoker George had his left lung removed for "structural abnormalities" in September 1951, months before he died.
The "abnormalities" were actually a life-threatening carcinoma, but the public never learned about George's cancer ordeal.
Buckingham Palace said Charles wanted to share his cancer diagnosis to boost "public understanding" for cancer patients worldwide.
