Prince Harry’s much-anticipated return to the UK to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games has been overshadowed by feelings of disappointment, as King Charles reportedly did not make time to meet with his son during his visit.
According to royal historian Hugo Vickers, a close friend of the royal family, Prince Harry had requested a brief meeting with King Charles months ago, but the monarch was unable to accommodate his son’s request.
The absence of a meeting left Harry feeling “extremely disappointed,” especially considering the proximity of their locations.
An insider revealed to The Express that Prince Harry had hoped for a meeting with his father, whom he affectionately refers to as his “darling boy.”
However, despite being in the same city and just a short distance away, King Charles did not arrange a meeting with his son.
While it has been suggested that King Charles’s prior commitments prevented him from meeting with Prince Harry, another source hinted at a potential reason for Harry’s reluctance to meet.

The possible presence of Queen Camilla at the meeting may have been a factor in Harry’s decision to back out, as discussions about her attendance reportedly caused uncertainty about the meeting’s logistics.
Despite the disappointment surrounding the missed opportunity for a father-son reunion, Prince Harry remains committed to his engagements in the UK, including the commemoration of the Invictus Games.
As speculation continues about the dynamics within the royal family, the absence of a meeting between Prince Harry and King Charles highlights ongoing tensions and unresolved issues within the monarchy.
