Why is Prince Harry in the UK?

The win comes days after the Duke of Sussex arrived in the UK. His surprise visit is part of an ongoing court case against Associated Newspapers Limited.

Whereas Meghan and Harry live in the US, it is the 38-year-old’s first visit back to Britain after Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral last year.

Prince Harry’s arrival follows on after the release of his memoir, Spare, in which he detailed his Relationship with King Charles III and Prince William.

The explosive revelations have resulted in questions whether Harry and Meghan will be attending the King’s coronation. However, is yet to be confirmed whether they will attend.

Reports have claimed he didn’t meet with his father while over in the UK. Speaking to Fox News, royal podcaster Kinsey Schofield claimed Charles’ decision not to meet up with Harry was significant.

She said that the decision “not to engage” with his youngest son speaks volumes when it comes to how Charles feels about Harry. Kinsey alleged: “The King’s diary is typically built months in advance. But the idea that the King had this time off and chose not to engage with his son tells me that Charles does not trust his boy.”

She then went on to speculate: “He does not want any drama before the coronation, and he clearly thinks Harry’s grievances are petty.”

She also claimed that King Charles’ apparent unwillingness to make time to Harry was a “stark example of consequence” following his bombshell claims over the past few months.
