Prince Harry has made a surprise visit to the UK in support of his High Court case against the Associated Newspapers.
However, it is reported that he will not be meeting with King Charles during his stay.
The Duke of Sussex informed the Monarch of his plans to travel back to Britain this week, but was told that his father was busy and would not be available for a meeting.
This news comes as King Charles’ first-ever state visit was postponed due to ongoing protests against French President Emmanuel Macron and his controversial pension reform.
While Prince Harry is expected to stay at Frogmore Cottage, his official residence in Windsor, for a few more weeks, it is unlikely that he will have any in-person meetings with his family members.
Kate and Prince William, who reside in Adelaide Cottage, are reportedly spending their children’s half-term holidays away from London or Windsor, making it highly unlikely for them to meet with Prince Harry.
The High Court case that Prince Harry and other public figures have brought against the Associated Newspapers revolves around the publication of a private letter written by the Duchess of Sussex to her estranged father.
Meghan sued the newspaper group for breach of privacy, copyright infringement, and misuse of personal data after the letter was published in the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online in February 2019.
Prince Harry has been a vocal critic of the media’s treatment of his family, especially his wife, and this lawsuit is seen as a continuation of his efforts to protect their privacy and reputation.
In January 2020, the couple announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family, citing media intrusion and a desire for financial independence.
They have since relocated to California and established their own charitable foundation, Archwell, while also signing deals with Netflix and Spotify.
Harry’s visit to the UK is expected to be brief, and it remains unclear if he will have any other official engagements during his time in the country.
However, speculations about a potential reconciliation with his family, particularly his brother Prince William, have already arisen.
Their relationship has reportedly been strained in recent years.
Despite the absence of scheduled in-person meetings with his family, it is possible that Prince Harry will use this opportunity to have private conversations with them and attempt to mend any existing rifts.
The Duke has previously opened up about his mental health struggles and the trauma of losing his mother, Princess Diana, at a young age.
It is hoped that his return to the UK will provide him with closure and healing.
