In a surprising turn of events, King Charles III has reportedly declined Prince Harry’s request for a meeting at his upcoming coronation in May.

The Sussexes had already expressed hesitation about attending the ceremony, but they made a conditional offer in response to Buckingham Palace’s own conditional offer.

Prince Harry had requested a sit-down summit with his father, brother, and other members of the royal family during the week of the coronation.

However, it seems that King Charles is too occupied with the hectic schedule of the event to accommodate his youngest son’s request.

Prince Harry has been estranged from his father and the rest of the royal family since January 2020, when he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped away from their roles as senior royals to live in California.

The prince made it clear that his attendance at the coronation was contingent on having a meeting with his family.

Unfortunately, King Charles has refused, citing the already overwhelming demands of organizing the coronation as the reason for his inability to spare the time.

Not only is King Charles unable to make time for the meeting, but his brother, Prince William, who is next in line to the throne, reportedly feels no obligation to fulfill his brother’s request.

According to the Daily Beast, King Charles is simply too busy with coronation preparations to spend quality time with his estranged son.

Although Charles adores Harry and wants him to be present, the logistical challenges of organizing a special meeting during such a crucial period are insurmountable.

Furthermore, Prince William has no intention of apologizing to Harry, as he believes he has done nothing wrong.

A friend of the Wales family questioned why William should apologize, suggesting that there is no reason for him to do so.

However, some speculate that perhaps Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted a private moment to discuss their issues before the public ceremony.

A source revealed to the Mirror that Harry’s stance on the situation remains unchanged, and he is not willing to attend if the atmosphere will be as toxic as it was during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and funeral.

In an interview with Tom Bradby on ITV News, Prince Harry expressed hope for a change within the family before the coronation.

He acknowledged that much could happen between now and then, emphasizing that the door is always open and it is up to his family to decide whether they are willing to sit down and have a conversation.

The prince’s tell-all memoir, “Spare,” which contributed to the estrangement from his family, has shed light on his feelings and desire for reconciliation.

The news of King Charles’ refusal to meet with Prince Harry has sparked discussions among royal enthusiasts.

Many are curious about the dynamics within the family and whether reconciliation is possible.
