Prince Harry’s recent visit to the UK for the Invictus Games ceremony in London sparked anticipation for a potential reunion with his father, King Charles III. However, despite staying in close proximity, a meeting did not occur.
According to reports, Harry’s team had initially indicated his desire to meet with the King. However, sources close to the King claim no formal request was made, despite requests for Harry to provide details of his lodgings.
Some reports suggest that the King was not officially invited to the Invictus Games, and the traditional 28-day notice for security arrangements was not followed. Nonetheless, the King had allegedly approved Harry’s request to stay at a Royal property.
A spokesperson for Harry attributed the lack of a meeting to the King’s busy schedule, which included engagements at Buckingham Palace and meetings with government officials.
However, royal insiders claim that Harry’s camp never formally requested a meeting. They suggest that the King may have been unwilling to make room in his schedule given Harry’s public criticism of the Royal Family in his recent book and interviews.
A friend of Harry’s, on the other hand, expressed disbelief that a request had not been made and questioned why the King could not have reached out to his son given the notoriety surrounding his visit.
In conclusion, the lack of a reunion between Prince Harry and King Charles III during the Invictus Games highlights the ongoing tensions within the Royal Family.
