King Charles quashed hopes of reunion with Prince Harry due to the monarch’s apparent busy schedule, however, as per the royal expert Charlotte Griffiths, chatter within the palace indicate otherwise.
During her conversation with GB News, Griffiths claimed that King Charles’ decision to not meet Harry is the result of some “difficult” negotiations.
While discussing the cancer-stricken monarch’s “full programe” with the Daily Mail Sunday editor Patrick Christys amid the duke’s presence in the UK for the Invictus Games 10th anniversary, Griffiths noted, “There is some talk that behind the scenes, a lot of negotiating went on.”
She claimed, “I think the reason was because Harry made certain demands about who could be in the room and who couldn’t.”
“Although on the surface it looks like a snub, Harry made it very difficult for his father,” added the royal expert.
Griffiths also believed that, “Maybe other forces were driving Charles’s position on this.”
She furthered, “William may have had a thought about how this meeting should be conducted or whether it should be conducted at all.”
“We know that Charles likes to meet Harry with Camilla in the room which isn’t always a popular decision,” admitted the royal expert.
Charlotte Griffiths noted, “Harry was without his wife as well, so this was fraught with difficulty.”
This update comes shortly after a spokesperson on behalf of Prince Harry revealed, “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 programme.”
They added, “The duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
