Prince Harry will not meet Prince William or King Charles during UK trip: sources

Royal relations have hit a new low, with the sending of birthday wishes to Prince Harry from the offices of King Charles and Prince William on Sunday proving to be a triumph of performative style over meaningful content.

The most obvious evidence of this is that none of the royals have plans to meet Prince Harry when he comes to the UK later this month, and, furthermore, have no intention of doing so in the short to medium term, well-placed sources told The Daily Beast.

According to The Daily Beast, Harry is not expected to stay in a royal residence, but rather in a central London hotel, as he did last time, further reinforcing his estrangement and alienation from his birth family.

An old friend of Harry’s, asked about the likelihood of an invitation to meet his father or brother on his next trip, told The Daily Beast: “Harry doesn’t expect to be summoned by the king or William.”

According to some sources, William refuses to meet Harry because he still considers his crude and revealing comments about him and particularly about his wife in his memoirs, Spareto be unforgivable. He also blames Harry for causing Kate to be accused of asking racist questions about the skin color of Harry’s children.

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle said in their interview with Oprah Winfrey that members of the royal family had expressed “concerns” about the likely skin colour of their children.

It was later revealed, in a since-pulverised copy of a book by journalist Omid Scobie, who is known to have excellent contacts in the Sussex camp, that it was King Charles and Kate Middleton who made the comments.

On a more minor level, William is deeply irritated that Harry and Meghan continue to refer to his wife as Kate, rather than the more regal Catherine, as she requested, as The Daily Beast previously revealed.

“William is focusing on his family at the moment and he won’t be meeting Harry,” a friend of Wales’s told The Daily Beast. They noted that the brothers didn’t speak or interact when they both attended the funeral of an uncle on the Spencer side of their family last month.

The king, meanwhile, remains unwilling to meet Harry as he faces the difficult situation of his own son suing “Her Majesty’s” government. Harry is locked in a bitter and costly legal battle with the British state over its security arrangements. His camp told The Daily Beast that it believes the king could and should intervene on his behalf, but senior sources in the king’s office say such intervention would be completely inappropriate.

The outright refusal by Harry’s biological family to even consider meeting him will dash hopes of a family reconciliation that briefly erupted this week after William and the royal’s social media accounts sent birthday wishes to Harry on Sunday.

It is difficult, a few days later, to understand what the purpose of these messages could have been, other than to troll Harry, perhaps.

This is likely to be taken into consideration by Harry’s camp. Harry’s friends have previously told The Daily Beast that the royal family has been manipulating him (and the public) by sending very different messages in public and private. The royal’s team has always insisted that Charles wants to reconcile with his son and loves him, but Harry’s team says actions speak louder than words and that the royal’s actions have made reconciliation more difficult.

They point to Harry’s eviction from the highly secure Frogmore Cottage estate, part of the royal Windsor estate, which the king knew would significantly curtail visits by Harry and his family, given that Harry had no automatic right to police protection in the UK.

The same thing appears to have happened over the weekend, with the royal office bizarrely seeking to downplay the importance of the message sent through the royal’s social media accounts, with one official source saying that the palace “sometimes posts for milestone birthdays of non-working royals,” adding that “typically” non-milestone birthdays are not the subject of social media posts.

A palace insider told The Daily Beast that William and Kate’s message was “just a professional exchange. Happy anniversary, blah blah blah.”

They said he was sent to “align” Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace “on a small, essentially routine message about Harry”.

However, it is worth noting that when Harry officially announced this week that he would be coming to England on September 30 to present the WellChild Awards, British media were quick to claim that Charles would not be able to meet Harry as he would be in Scotland until October.

It’s a flimsy excuse, since both he and Harry have well-documented access to transportation.

The royal team would not comment on Harry’s thoughts on his family’s birthday messages and declined to comment on his preparations for his visit to the U.K. later this month. The royal office did not respond to a request for comment.

The king’s refusal to allow a meeting with Harry illustrates the extent of the monarch’s reluctance to engage with his son, whatever birthday wishes he sends him. The king’s press office will of course have to decide whether this makes his son appear hypocritical and heartless.

On his last trip to the UK, Harry publicly stated that he had been denied a meeting with his father, but that he wanted one. It remains to be seen whether he wanted to put pressure on a cancer patient. her The press service must decide.

Harry’s spokesperson said at the time: “In response to the many requests and ongoing speculation about whether or not the Duke will be able to meet his father during his visit to the UK this week, this will unfortunately not be possible due to Her Majesty’s busy schedule. The Duke of course understands his father’s schedule, commitments and various other priorities, and hopes to see him soon.”

It seems that he may still wish for some time to come.
