Prince Harry’s latest trip to the UK will not include a meeting with members of the royal family, an expert says.
The Duke of Sussex, who arrived in the UK on Sunday to attend a High Court hearing into the taxpayer-funded security allowance, will not meet his brother Prince William and father King Charles.
Royal expert Jenny Bond told The Mirror: “The relationship should be clear: father and son, they meet from time to time even though they live on different continents. But it is not so clear. Their relationship is full of complexity.
“We know from Harry’s book that Charles strongly disagrees with his son about the prosecution and prosecution of the tabloid press. The King believes that he and the rest of the family in general should move past it and get on with their lives and careers. Harry has made this a campaign to ‘reform’ the press in the UK.”
“So it is perhaps a coincidence that Charles will likely be in Scotland as usual in January when Harry returns from California to face Associated Newspapers in court. William and Catherine also have engagements in Scotland, so the lines are clearly drawn. Harry will be focusing on his court case and will likely not see his father – or of course his brother, during this trip.”
