‘No drama needed’: The real reason King Charles turned down meeting with Prince Harry, royal expert claims

Prince Harry has been visiting the United Kingdom for three days to participate in a series of engagements related to the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014.

The 39-year-old had expressed his desire to meet his father during his brief visit before flying back to Los Angeles on Friday, however, he was brutally turned down due to the King’s busy schedule.

“In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation about whether or not the Duke will meet his father while in the UK this week, unfortunately it will not be possible due to Her Majesty’s full schedule,” a spokesperson for Harry said earlier. This week. .

“The Duke, of course, understands his father’s diary of engagements and other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

Daily Mail royal expert Richard Eden has affirmed what palace experts said about the real reason Charles turned down a meeting.

“He doesn’t need drama in his life,” the source said.

“Harry and Meghan have brought him and the rest of the family nothing but worries over the past few years.”

GB News presenter Patrick Christys suggested on Thursday night that Queen Camilla could have played a role in the failure of a potential meeting.

“Prince Harry issued a statement that was the usual kind of passive-aggressive statement that you would get from the Prince who wants to walk away,” Christys told Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt.

“What we think is happening is that King Charles is reluctant to meet Harry without Camilla in the room, and Prince Harry is reluctant to meet King Charles with Camilla in the room. “So we ended up in this ridiculous situation.”

A source close to Charles and Camilla echoed this sentiment, claiming that the “cruel and hurtful things” Harry said about the Queen Consort in his 2023 memoir, Spare, had caused a further rift in the father-son relationship.

“Harry has made it very clear, very publicly, that he despises her. “He’s forced Charles to choose, which was a very dumb thing to do because he and Camilla chose each other a long time ago,” the source told The Daily Beast.

“William had his reservations, but he accepted his father’s choice and moved on. Harry made a different decision, and one of the inevitable consequences of publicly insulting your stepmother is that it will be difficult for you to see your father.”

Harry has met his father only once since the King revealed in February that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
