Prince Harry WON’T meet Charles on whistle-stop UK trip due to King’s ‘full programme’ but says ‘I hope to see him soon’
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”.
“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.

“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 is “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.
It comes as Wills is today set to award the mum of one of Harry’s pals an MBE.
Henry van Straubenzee died in a car crash in 2002 – he had been the duke’s best pal at school.
Wills is now set to today honour Claire van Straubenzee at Windsor Castle in recognition of services to children’s education in Uganda.
Henry, known as Henners, was killed in a car crash near Ludgrove Prep school in Berkshire, where he was working during his gap year.
Prince Harry wrote affectionately of Henry in his memoir Spare.
The duke said: “Skinny, with no muscles, and hair that stood up 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 set up the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund to support children in Uganda.
It was initially at the school where Henry had been due to teach before his tragic death.
Meghan Markle paid tribute to Henry at a carol service in 2018.
