Prince Harry won’t meet King Charles on his whistle-stop UK trip due to the monarch’s “full programme” - but says he “hopes to see him soon”.
A spokesperson for Harry has responded to “speculation on whether or not the duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week”.
They said: “It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme.
“The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
Harry flew to the UK alone without Meghan or their children Archie and Lilibet.
But Meghan will join Harry on his visit to Nigeria later this week, it’s understood.
It’s understood Harry will not see his brother Prince William - but had been “keen” to see his dad while visiting.
Charles, 75, resumed public duties last week for the first time since beginning cancer treatment.
He is now expected to attend the year’s first Buckingham Palace garden party.William has been stung by his brother’s attacks and has not spoken to Harry since Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
