King Charles III and Prince William may snub Prince Harry during UK visit | World News

Birthday wishes sent to Prince Harry by King Charles III and Prince William on Sunday were seen as extending an olive branch to the Sussexes, but a new The Daily Beast The report suggests otherwise.

Some insiders said the superficial displays of good wishes mask deeper tensions, as none of the royals plan to meet Harry during his upcoming visit to the UK later this month.

Prince Harry, who has been increasingly estranged from his family since stepping back from royal duties, is not expected to stay at a royal residence during his visit. He is instead expected to stay at a hotel in central London. Vanity FairKatie Nicholl said Charles called Prince Harry on his birthday to “get back on track”. “It was always the King’s intention to mark his son’s 40th birthday publicly, and I’m sure the King will have spoken to Harry on his birthday,” she said.

Prince William is deeply hurt by Prince Harry’s repeated statements…

Now when asked The Daily Beast On the possibility of a family reunion, an old friend of Harry’s said: “Harry doesn’t expect to be summoned by the king or William.”

Sources reveal that “difficult” Prince William is not interested in meeting his younger brother. William remains deeply hurt by Harry’s 2023 memoir, Spare, which included unflattering comments about William and his wife, Kate Middleton. A friend of William and Kate said The Daily Beast“William is focusing on his family at the moment, and he will not be meeting Harry.”

William reportedly found Harry’s accusations unforgivable, particularly those suggesting Kate was involved in racially insensitive remarks about Harry and Meghan Markle’s children.

In a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry and Meghan claimed that members of the royal family had expressed “concerns” about the potential skin colour of their future children. While the source of the comments was initially left vague, it was later reported in a now-retracted book by Omid Scobie that King Charles and Kate were the ones who made the comments.

The Prince of Wales is also said to be irritated by Harry and Meghan’s habit of calling his wife “Kate” instead of her preferred, more formal name, Catherine.
