Relations between Prince Harry and King Charles have severely deteriorated ever since the Duke of Sussex stepped away from the Royal Family in 2020.
Prince Harry was “deeply shocked” at King Charles’s “blunt refusal to see him even for a moment” when he was in the UK last week – and found it particularly painful as “everyone knows the real reason”, a royal author claimed.
There had been hopes of a heartwarming father and son reunion during the Duke of Sussex’s visit to London to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
But Harry’s team released a statement early last week to say the meeting would not be taking place due to “His Majesty’s full program”, adding: “The duke, of course, is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
Royal Family author Tom Quinn told The Mirror: “He was deeply shocked at his father’s blunt refusal to see him even for a moment.
“This time the rejection was particularly painful because it was so public – Harry may have issued a statement saying he completely understood why his father didn’t have time to see him, but everyone knows the real reason had nothing to do with busy schedules.”
Queen Camilla sends two subtle signals as she wears unusual design on visit
Queen Camilla has proven once again that the Royal Family enjoys sending subtle messages through their unique outfit choices.
Shrugging off the rain and greeting waving crowds in Rye for a solo engagement, Camilla donned her best dress and attended an event celebrating literature in Sussex on May 16.
Fashion stylist, Danielle Rogers-Clark of Give Good Dress, was among the crowds who greeted Camilla as she took centre stage for her royal visit greeting fans from around the world.
For the occasion, Her Majesty chose to wear a long, flattering, greenish blue shirt dress with demure sleeves and a tie front.
The striking dress was made with Liberty Green Peacock Manor Silk.

Meghan Markle’s ‘sunny’ outfit shows new milestone underway for the Sussexes
Meghan Markle is known for wearing neutral colours, but when she was in Nigeria, she adapted to her surroundings, and opted for bold, vibrant attire.
On day two of the three-day visit, Meghan sat down with Arise News. She said: “It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived, and I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour so I can fit in with you and your fashion.
Journalist Jack Royston appeared on this week’s Royal Report saying the Sussexes are coming out of their “dark period” and entering a “new bold, happy positive era,” and Meghan’s “sunny” clothing choices help illustrate the transition.

Meghan Markle dances to her favourite song in Nigeria in adorable viral moment
Meghan Markle hit the dance floor while in Nigeria and her fans are showing their appreciation over on TikTok.
Prince Harry and Meghan were in Nigeria for three days promoting the Invictus Games. The royal couple were invited by the country’s chief defence minister, as the nation is considering hosting the games down the road.
While the visit was jam-packed with events to promote the games and the wounded soldiers it supports, there was time for Meghan to let her hair down and do a little shimmy on the dance floor on the second night in Nigeria at a reception hosted in Abuja, the country’s capital.

Prince Harry ‘may never be forgiven’ after he broke an ‘unspoken contract with Brits’
Prince Harry “broke an unspoken contract with the British people” when he and his wife Meghan Markle left the UK for a new life in California, a royal commentator has claimed.
In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working members of the Royal Family before moving to the US. A year later in March 2021, they made several bombshell claims against the royals in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Now, a long-standing critic of the couple has claimed Harry will continue to suffer a severe backlash from his fellow Brits for his part in the move – which was dubbed ‘Megxit’.
Daniela Elser said: “For years on end, Brits were entranced by the outwardly chirpy chap who appeared to have made peace with his royal identity.”
“Then came the third act in the Harry story, the part where he turned on his heel and decided he wanted a different life, far, far away from grey skies and stiff upper lips.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Nigeria trip ‘sends key message to Palace’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Nigeria visit sent a message to the Royal Family about what a “half in, half out” Megxit deal could have looked like, a royal commentator has suggested.
Matt Wilkinson, royal editor of The Sun, told podcast, Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, there is a sense the public knows the three day Nigeria visit wasn’t an official royal tour.
He said: “I think the Sussexes would have wanted to have done tours like this if they had stayed. That would have been their aim. They would have liked to have gone away on their own terms to a Commonwealth country and maybe [the trip to Nigeria] was them sending a message back to the Royal Family, saying, ‘Look what we could have done if we had got that half in, half out deal. We can go to these countries, draw a crowd, be popular and represent the UK’.
“They weren’t representing the UK, the Government or Royal Family or any British causes. They were just representing themselves.”

King Charles ‘angrier than anyone has ever seen him’ after Meghan Markle’s ‘rogue move’
King Charles was “angrier than anyone has ever seen him” after seeing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Nigeria visit last week, claims a royal expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex infamously stepped down as senior working royals at the start of 2020, with Harry even stripped of several royal roles. The couple visited Nigeria last week – by invitation of the Nigerian military – as part of Harry’s Invictus Games and have been accused of treating the visit like a royal tour.
Speaking to the Mirror, royal author Tom Quinn said: “William is absolutely furious and determined to find a way to stop this happening in future. Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him.”
He added: “What’s really upset the applecart is the fact that the Nigerians treated Meghan and Harry as if they too thought this was an official tour – all the signs were there as the couple were greeted with dances, receptions, visits to schools and charities.”

King Charles urged to stop Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest ‘dangerous’ move
King Charles has been urged to step in after fears were raised over the safety of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s unofficial ‘royal tours’.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid a visit to the West African country last week for a three-day trip full of engagements, conducted in a very similar style to tours they took as working royals.
But the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden spoke out about the potential diplomatic risks that come with the couple making these trips on their own times.
He told Palace Confidential this week: “Harry made a comment about this [trip], it could be the first of many…I’ve been hearing mutterings in diplomatic circles here that there is great concern about this.
“It’s very dangerous. You’ve got Harry and Meghan potentially visiting countries without that control that we have, any trips by royals are organised by the Foreign Office.”

The pair were in the African nation to champion the Invictus Games and participated in several charitable endeavours while there.
It has now emerged that the Sussexes met with Nigerian charity workers from Save the Children, with the organisation posting a video of the encounter on Instagram.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles as they were introduced to young ambassadors. Meghan was spotted wearing an elegant white halter neck top, reminiscent of her wedding reception attire.
On her wedding day, Meghan donned a simple white Givenchy dress before changing into a custom Stella McCartney gown for the evening reception. She chose a similar ensemble for her meeting with Save the Children, opting for a sleeveless white top.
The Duchess completed her outfit with relaxed grey trousers and striking gold earrings. Meanwhile, Prince Harry appeared at ease in a smart blue shirt with the top button undone, reports the Mirror.

King Charles ‘won’t be rolling out red carpet’ to reconcile with Prince Harry
King Charles “won’t roll the red carpet out” for a reconciliation with Prince Harry as the monarch is focused on one “absolute priority”, it has been claimed.
Speaking to The Daily Beast, they said: “William wouldn’t dream of telling his father what he can or can’t do in relation to his other son.
“But what is true is that Charles’s absolute priority is the unity of the monarchy, and given the extent of William’s animosity to Harry, Charles can hardly roll out the red carpet and invite Harry and the kids to stay at Balmoral for the summer holidays—however much he would like to.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘desperate’ as major bombshell looms
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “desperate” attempt to leave the past behind them could be threatened by a bombshell new German documentary.
Experienced royal reporter Ulrike Grunewald and her team have travelled to Montecito in California, where the Sussexes live, to speak to their neighbours and get an inside glimpse into their personal lives.
An insider told OK! magazine: “There are many things that both of them, especially Meghan, don’t necessarily want in the public domain.
“It’s no secret that they both led colourful lives before they met each other, and while Harry has spoken about a lot of mistakes in his book, there are still things about Meghan we don’t know.
“It could also delve deeper into her fall-out with Kate and challenge the Sussex camp narrative that it was all Kate’s fault.
“But Harry and Meghan are now desperate to leave everything in the past as they want to start afresh, and I think Harry will fear that their new happiness could be ruined if Meghan’s past is investigated.”

Prince Harry could return to UK without Meghan Markle for heartbreaking reason
Prince Archie is said to be “desperate” to join his father Prince Harry on a trip to the UK soon because he wants to see his grandad King Charles – but neither of his parents are keen to encourage this, according to a source.
In 2020, Meghan Markle and Harry stepped down as senior working members of the Royal Family, relocating to the US and eventually settling in Montecito. They welcomed their daughter Princess Lilibet in 2021.
But there are fears that as their children grow older, they will start to become more curious about their extended British family as the Sussexes have limited contact with the royals.
One royal expert claimed even if Harry does return to the UK to visit his father with his children, it is unlikely Meghan will join them.

Prince Harry ‘upset’ as he’s pictured in LA after putting on brave face during UK visit
Prince Harry seemed to be “downcast in LA” after putting on a brave face for his visit to the UK last week, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke, along with his wife Meghan Markle, were spotted at the airport in Los Angeles on Monday, arriving home after an 18-hour flight from Nigeria.
Meghan was pictured walking ahead of her husband as they left the airport. Harry, on the other hand, was walking behind looking rather downcast – something Tom Quinn suggested could be linked to his recent UK visit.
The Duke of Sussex is said to have hoped that he could have met with his father King Charles during his visit to the UK, but the monarch posed a busy schedule during his short visit.
