PRINCE Harry will not meet King Charles on his trip to the UK due to the monarch’s “full schedule” – but says he “hopes to see him soon”.
A spokesperson for Harry responded to “speculation about whether or not the Duke will meet his father while in the UK this week.”
They said: “Unfortunately it will not be possible due to Her Majesty’s full programme.
“The Duke, of course, understands his father’s schedule and various other priorities and looks forward to seeing 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 clear.
It is understood Harry will not see his brother Prince William – but is “looking forward” to seeing his father during the visit.
Charles, 75, resumed public duties last week for the first time since beginning cancer treatment.
He is now expected to attend Buckingham Palace’s first garden party of the year.
It turns out Wills is about to award the mother of one of Harry’s friends an MBE.
Henry van Straubenzee died in a car accident in 2002 – he was the Duke’s best friend at school.
Wills will now pay tribute to Claire van Straubenzee at Windsor Castle in recognition of her services to early childhood education in Uganda.
Henry, known as Henners, died in a car crash near Ludgrove Prep school in Berkshire, where he worked during his gap year.
Prince Harry wrote affectionately about Henry in his memoir Spare.
The Duke said: “Slim, muscleless and with hair standing on end in permanent surrender, Henners was all heart.
“Whenever he smiled, people melted.”
The duke said he was the only boy who asked him about his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, after she was killed.
In 2007, Claire and her family created the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund to support children in Uganda.
It was initially at the school where Henry was supposed to teach before his tragic death.
Meghan Markle paid tribute to Henry at a Christmas ceremony in 2018.
