Queen Camilla made a strategic decision to prevent Harry from arranging an interview with King Charles during his upcoming visit to Britain this week.
Prince Harry, who is set to attend an event just two miles away from his ailing father, Prince Charles, expressed his desire to see him while in London for the Invictus Games' 10th-anniversary ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday. However, uncertainties lingered last night regarding whether the Duke would indeed have the opportunity to meet his father, who is still undergoing cancer treatment.
Reports surfaced indicating Harry's keenness to reunite with his father, but no formal meeting has been penciled into the monarchy's busy schedule. On Wednesdays, the king typically holds his weekly audience with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and insiders suggest there are no plans to deviate from this routine. Additionally, King Charles is slated to attend the year's inaugural Buckingham Palace Garden Party before his meeting with the prime minister. Insider sources disclosed that when Harry broached the subject of a meetup, King Charles insisted on meeting only if circumstances allowed.
Furthermore, insider reports reveal Queen Camilla's apprehension about allowing Prince Harry to have private conversations with King Charles. Harry has lost the Queen's trust, and she is reluctant to permit him to interact with his father unaccompanied. Rumors suggest Harry's motive for wanting to meet with Charles is to conduct interviews in Nigeria, potentially discussing his father's health and treatment. Speculations also hint that Harry might have been briefed by the king prior to his and Meghan's official tour.
In light of these developments, Angela Lans, speaking on GB News, expressed skepticism about Harry's intentions, stating, "He can't be trusted." She highlighted King Charles' vulnerability and the possibility of him inadvertently divulging sensitive health information. Additionally, commentators have criticized Harry's attempt to meet King Charles as self-serving, branding it a PR stunt rather than a genuine attempt at reconciliation.
Meanwhile, amidst tensions within the royal family, Meghan and Harry's PR team released statements criticizing the lack of interest shown by the royals in Prince Harry's Invictus Games. Allegations surfaced that Harry invited family members, including his brother Prince William, but received no response, despite extending an olive branch. A Sussex spokesperson condemned the royal family for boycotting the Invictus Games, accusing them of cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Critics argue that Harry's handling of Invictus has become self-serving, with accusations of using the event for personal gain rather than focusing on supporting veterans. Harry's detractors claim he has distanced himself from traditional royal charities and organizations, preferring to operate independently. They suggest Harry's actions are undermining the royal family's efforts to support veterans and portray his management of Invictus as opportunistic.
