Prince Harry is back in London, but don’t get your hopes too high waiting for royal family reunions! The Duke of Sussex has landed in the UK for a noble cause but he has no plans to meet his father, King Charles lll. The reason? According to official sources, it’s all about conflicting schedules.
‘Nice to see you!’

For context, Prince Harry’s comeback to London was marked by a primordial responsibility: the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, established to support wounded and injured military service personnel. Despite being in the United Kingdon for the event, Harry’s spokespersons revealed that a King Charles meet-up wouldn’t be on the agenda.
“It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
This comes amid King Charles’ choice to return to his royal duties while dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Most recently, His Majesty had a packed schedule including a planned meeting with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, which indicates the conflicting schedules father and son have.
