Prince Harry – who concluded his trip to the UK and returned to the US after attending a final day hearing into his claims against a British media group – did not see his father during the surprise visit to his native country.
King Charles III, who is in Germany for his first foreign visit as monarch, chose not to see his youngest son Prince Harry as he did not want to be caught up in ‘drama’ ahead of his impending coronation, a royal expert has said.
Kinsey Schofield has warned the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that if they choose to attend the event on May 6, they will face a tough reception from their British relatives.
Speaking to Fox Nerws, Kinsey Schofield said it was significant that Charles decided not to meet Harry despite the 38-year-old coming to London for the start of his confidentiality case against Associated Newspapers at the London High Court.
She said: “The King’s Diary is usually built months in advance.” But the idea that the king had that free time and chose not to engage with his son tells me that Charles doesn’t trust his boy. He doesn’t want any drama before the coronation, and he clearly thinks Harry’s grievances are petty.”
Kinsey claimed: ‘If Harry and Meghan are attending the King’s coronation they should bring their parkas because things are going to be freezing’, adding that Charles’s reluctance to give his son time ‘was a stark example of consequence. ”
The latest in the Sussex saga is that King Charles and other senior royals have lost all faith in Meghan and Harry, and must be extra careful with information shared with the couple as they are now seen as a potential source of leaks and some feel threatened.
