He’s living the s?w?e?e?t? suite life.

With a whopping total of 22 royal residences peppered across the UK, Prince Harry was forced to check into a hotel room during his brief return to London this week.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, touched down on home soil Tuesday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

But as the royal rift between him and the Firm rages on, Harry reportedly set up camp at a luxe London hotel for his stay.

“I think that just shows the state of the relationship between Harry and the family,” Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.

“Obviously, Harry did have apartments at Clarence House. Clarence House is a huge property — it just goes to show the divisions between him and the family.”

“If you come to the UK and you have family here, you would probably stay with them, wouldn’t you? I think it’s a very clear signal that the relationship between Harry and his family has deteriorated,” Harrold said on behalf of Fruity Slots, adding that the situation is “sad.”

The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps for comment.

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were last year evicted from Frogmore Cottage — a royal residence they thought would “always be there for them.”

The pair were gifted the property’s rent lease by the late Queen Elizabeth II after their 2018 wedding.

They finally vacated it in June 2023, which left them with no official UK residence.

Now, when they visit the UK, they have no place to stay and must stay with friends or in a hotel — something Harry opted to do during his blink-and-you-miss-it trip to London in February.

What’s more, the Sussexes lost their bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection, meaning they will now have to pay out of pocket for their security when traveling across the pond.

Harry landed in the UK on Tuesday, but his stay in London is a short one.

The Duke is expected to leave the capital Thursday afternoon and head to Nigeria, where he will be reunited with his wife.

The duo, who quit royal life in 2020, were invited to Nigeria by the West African country’s chief of defense staff — its highest-ranking military official.
