They almost certainly would. However the original suggestion upthread was that Harry would be allowed to fly to a Norfolk airforce base, transported by car to Sandringham, then be allowed to stay at the Sandringham estate without the obligatory 28 days notice, and finally be invited to join in the royal convoy travelling to the funeral with William. That was what I was querying in my post.
Similar to when Dominic Reid announced he was quitting as CEO of the Invictus Games. He said he was leaving at the 10 year mark because he'd accomplished what he set out to do, and that explanation makes sense to me. The timing just seemed odd, since it was mere days after the ESPY award (and attendant controversy) and months before Invictus is due to host its first ever winter games. But I suppose when you're ready to leave a job, you just want to get on with it, regardless of timing.
Harry's decisions about when it's too dangerous to come to the UK and when it's not seem so arbitrary. He also didn't seem to have security concerns when he came for the Invictus 10th Anniversary service.
Maybe we should be asking why the family it would appear do not want him to be too close. I have my thoughts and if I was them I would feel the same.
Could it be this People article? Prince Harry to Miss Funeral of His Uncle Robert Fellowes amid Security Concerns in the U.K.
These are fair points, all I will say that in certain quarters People is viewed as being close to the couple, as a result anything they print is inclined to be believed to have came from them. That is possibly unfair but life isn’t .
I agree and don´t think it is sensible to drag young children to another continent for a funeral they will probably not attend and for a greatuncle-in-law they probably have never met. In this case it makes more sense for the Duke to go on his own, if he manages to get out of his other engagements. But the distance is of course long. It simply is the reality of living on another continent as your family does, as I know from my own experience.
But, unfortunately, that will not fit the narrative that Harry want to put out.
Harry no longer has a lease on Frogmore Cottage. He has probably removed his furniture and fittings from there by now, so FC is just not an option for him.

What is Harry extending to his father and the rest of the family other than stress.
I think this is the crutch of the issue. Harry, in my opinion, seems to be craving any acknowledgement that he's more than just the 5th in line to the throne in his family, but that will never happen, imho (until, of course, he starts falling down the line of succession, then it will happen more).
What does he want?
They’ve made exceptions in the past, such as when he swooped in for a few hours after Charles announced his cancer diagnosis.
I am adding to my own post, he could have played a very significant role within the monarchy without the stress and restrictions of monarch .
I agree it is very sad.
I don't know either, but I don't see that it would be particularly high. Very good point about security being linked to status - that's far more like it.
