Prince Harry is due to fly out today after his short visit back to the UK – but has not met dad King Charles or brother Prince William.
The Duke of Sussex was in London yesterday for a service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. After the event, Harry met with fans outside as they shouted: “We love you Harry”. Hundreds of people lined the street to try and catch a glimpse of the Duke.
Harry, whose main home is now in the US with Meghan Markle and their children, will jet out of Britain in preparation for his trip to Nigeria with his wife.
On Thursday, his brother William was seen smiling as he smiled as he visited sunny Cornwall for two royal engagements in Newquay and the Isles of Scilly. He began his visit in Newquay at a housing project which will provide 24 homes with wraparound support for homeless people.
Queen Camilla meanwhile met with former TV newsreader Angela Rippon at Buckingham Palace to mark the 90th anniversary of Brooke, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of working horses, donkeys, and mules.
Yesterday, she and King Charles seemed in good spirits as they hosted guests at Buckingham Palace garden party. Fellow working royals also turned out for the afternoon including Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Edward and Sophie, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
A spokesperson for Harry released a statement earlier this week to confirm the Duke of Sussex would not be meeting with his father during his UK trip. They said: “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.”
