King Charles ‘too busy’ to meet with Prince Harry during upcoming London trip

As Prince Harry prepares to visit the UK for the first time in months, reports have emerged King Charles won’t have “time” to see his son.

Prince Harry and King Charles likely won’t see each other in London.

King Charles may be too “busy” to meet with his youngest son, Prince Harry, when he flies to London next week.

The Telegraph reported on Monday that, despite not seeing each other for the last two months, it’s still unknown if Charles’ schedule will allow him to meet up with Harry. And if he does, it will be brief.

The outlet further commented that if he is able to, the King will make time for the California-based royal, who will be in town to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8.

Per the Telegraph, the King’s busy schedule includes his weekly audience with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as well as the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season and previous engagements.

Harry, 39, will be returning to the UK for the first time since early February when he flew in shortly after the King announced his cancer diagnosis.

On February 10, Buckingham Palace revealed that the monarch, 75, was undergoing treatment for an unnamed cancer.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” their statement read.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”

Immediately after, Harry jumped on a jet and rushed to be by his father’s side, while his wife, Meghan Markle, remained in their Montecito, California, home with their two children: Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.

The Duke of Sussex saw his father at Clarence House for under an hour before returning to the US the following day.

Harry later told Good Morning America that he was grateful for being able to drop everything to see his father.

“Look, I love my family,” the Duke of Sussex said. “The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.”

Harry’s upcoming trip to London is not the last time he will be able to see his dad for a while.

Page Six exclusively reported that the King may invite Harry and his family to Balmoral Castle this summer in an attempt to mend fences and see his grandchildren, who he has only seen on a handful of occasions.

For the last couple of years, Charles and Harry have had a fractured relationship, which was exacerbated by the publication of the latter’s tell-all memoir Spare in 2022.

There is no word on whether Harry will see Prince William, whom he has been feuding with for years.

In fact, Harry reportedly found out about his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis from a television report.

Soon after, he and Markle released a statement saying, “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family.”
