As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on a visit to Nigeria, reports of a purported snub by King Charles towards his younger son, Prince Harry, have sparked outrage, prompting responses from various quarters, including anti-monarchy group Republic.
Amidst speculation surrounding Prince Harry’s return to the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, his spokesperson clarified that a meeting with King Charles was not possible due to the King’s full schedule.
The spokesperson emphasized Prince Harry’s understanding of his father’s commitments and expressed hope for a future reunion.
However, this explanation did not appease critics, with royal expert Kate Mansey highlighting the juxtaposition of the King’s busy schedule and his apparent inability to meet with Prince Harry.
Mansey’s observation, shared on social media platform X, drew attention to the scheduled military engagement between the King and the Prince of Wales, Prince William, while Prince Harry remained unable to secure a meeting with his father.
Republic CEO Graham Smith condemned King Charles’ alleged snub, questioning the validity of the King’s purportedly busy schedule.

As public scrutiny intensifies, calls for transparency and accountability within the monarchy persist, highlighting the broader discourse surrounding the institution’s relevance and accountability in modern society.
