King Charles has reportedly dismissed Prince Harry’s recent allegations that he refused to meet with the Duke during his latest visit to the United Kingdom. According to a close friend of the monarch, King Charles’s response comes at a time when Prince Harry is on a tour of Nigeria with his wife, Meghan Markle.

The issue arose from Prince Harry’s claim that his father, King Charles, declined an opportunity for a meeting during Harry’s trip back to the UK. This assertion has added another layer to the ongoing narrative of strained relations within the British Royal Family, particularly between Prince Harry and the senior royals.

Speaking to The Times, a friend of King Charles claims, “While it is true that the King is understandably wary about meeting with Harry, given the publicity circus that seems to surround all such visits, he did of course agree to see his son at the most vulnerable moment of his illness [back in February] and at very short notice.”

The royal insider went on saying, “While he was hardly going to roll out the red carpet the moment this Invictus trip was announced, with doctors advising him to focus on his treatment and recovery, the idea that he refused to find space in his diary … well, let’s say recollections may vary once again.”

According to the Mirror, the friends of the King claimed that to the best of their understanding, Harry neither requested to see his father nor invited the monarch to attend the service at St Paul’s to mark the 10th anniversary of Invictus Games.

Earlier, Prince Harry’s spokesman had claimed: “In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the duke will meet with his father while in the UK, it, unfortunately, will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program. “The duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

The close friend of King Charles, who spoke about the matter, suggested that the monarch was taken aback by the claim. According to this insider, King Charles believes that the allegations do not accurately reflect the circumstances surrounding the visit. This friend has painted a picture of a monarch who is trying to balance the complexities of royal duties and personal relationships, especially in light of the highly publicized rifts that have captured global attention following Prince Harry and Meghan’s departure from official royal roles and their move to the United States.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan continue their engagements abroad, focusing on their work and charitable efforts, seemingly undeterred by the ongoing familial disputes. Their visit to Nigeria has included a series of public appearances and meetings, which aim to highlight various charitable causes and initiatives important to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

This ongoing public discourse between Prince Harry and the rest of the Royal Family has been the subject of intense media scrutiny, reflecting the challenges that the Royals face in managing personal conflicts within the public eye.

The situation underscores the delicate balance of personal and public responsibilities that members of the Royal Family must navigate, often under the relentless gaze of global media. As both sides present their perspectives, the public continues to witness the unfolding of this modern royal saga, revealing the complex dynamics at play behind the palace doors.
