Prince Harry was reportedly deeply shocked and hurt by King Charles’ refusal to see him during his recent visit to the United Kingdom. According to royal author Tom Quinn, Harry was taken aback by his father’s blunt refusal to meet, even briefly. In an interview with The Mirror, Quinn noted, “He was deeply shocked at his father’s blunt refusal to see him even for a moment.”
During his stay in the UK, Harry chose to stay in a hotel instead of one of the Royal Family’s residences. This decision has sparked speculation, with some sources claiming it was Harry’s choice, while others suggest he was refused accommodation by the royal family.
Prince Harry was reportedly taken aback by King Charles’ refusal to see him during his recent visit to the United Kingdom. According to royal author Tom Quinn, the Duke of Sussex was deeply affected by his father’s decision. In an interview with The Mirror, Quinn remarked, “He was deeply shocked at his father’s blunt refusal to see him even for a moment.”
When Harry visited the U.K. early this month, his spokesperson shared a statement, saying, “In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, 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.”
Sharing his two cents on the matter, royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror: “He was deeply shocked at his father’s blunt refusal to see him even for a moment.” “This time the rejection was particularly painful because it was so public – Harry may have issued a statement saying he completely understood why his father didn’t have time to see him, but everyone knows the real reason had nothing to do with busy schedules,” he added.
Harry opted to stay in a hotel during his trip, rather than at one of the Royal Family’s residences. This choice has led to differing accounts. Some sources claim it was Harry’s decision, while others suggest he was denied a royal residence. Despite these conflicting reports, it is clear that Harry had requested to meet with his father well in advance of his visit. However, Buckingham Palace sources dispute this, stating that no such request was made.
This situation highlights the ongoing tensions within the Royal Family, particularly between Harry and his father. The refusal to meet has been interpreted by many as a significant snub, especially given the recent efforts to reconcile following King Charles’ health scare. The strained relationship between Harry and the rest of the Royal Family has been a subject of much public and media speculation, particularly following Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States.
During his visit, Harry was in the UK for engagements related to the Invictus Games, a cause close to his heart. Despite his presence for such a significant event, the lack of a meeting with King Charles has overshadowed the trip, raising questions about the future of familial relations and whether reconciliation is possible.
