Harry will not see Charles in GB, ‘the sovereign has a full agenda’

(ANSA) – LONDON, 07 MAY – Prince Harry will not see his father, King Charles III, during his short visit to the United Kingdom to take part in the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games tomorrow in London, the sports games reserved for disabled soldiers who the second son of the sovereign has been patronizing since the foundation. A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex declared this according to which the monarch’s busy agenda does not allow a meeting between the two after the one that took place last February, when Harry made a quick visit to the British capital to be close to Charles III after the announcement of his diagnosis of an unspecified cancer. “The Duke is obviously aware of his father’s commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon,” the spokesperson said. Just yesterday there was an important anniversary for the sovereign, the first anniversary of his coronation which took place on 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey, which came after the king’s return to public representation appointments last week following the announcement of his illness and the start of an anti-tumor therapy with encouraging results according to the court doctors. The missed meeting between father and son is destined to rekindle hypotheses and speculations on the relationships within the royal family, especially after the rapprochement between Harry and Charles which took place in recent months and was marked by their meeting at Clarence House in February. A rapprochement that came after strong tensions over the revelations contained in the ‘rebel’ prince’s autobiography entitled ‘Spare’, a global publishing success, and in the Netflix docuseries on the Sussexes, concerning, among other things, the break with the Windsors in 2020 and Harry’s subsequent move with his wife Meghan to the USA. A service is scheduled for tomorrow in St Paul’s Cathedral in London, during which the Duke, who arrived in the Kingdom this afternoon, will be engaged in a reading while the actor Damian Lewis will recite a poem, and no one is expected to attend another senior member of the Royal Family.
