According to royal expert Charlotte Griffith, Prince William might have had reservations about the manner in which the meeting was to be conducted, or even questioned its necessity altogether. Additionally, the presence of Queen Camilla during the meeting arrangements could have caused further complications and disagreements.
Griffith explains, "We know that Charles prefers to have Camilla present when meeting with Harry, which is not always a popular decision. Furthermore, Harry's wife was not present, adding to the complexity of the situation." Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Prince Harry disclosed that he would not be able to meet with King Charles during his ongoing visit to the UK. The spokesperson stated, "In response to the numerous inquiries and ongoing speculation regarding whether the Duke will have a meeting with his father while in the UK this week, unfortunately, it will not be possible due to His Majesty's demanding schedule."
They further expressed that Prince Harry is understanding of his father's commitments and priorities, and he hopes to have the opportunity to see him soon.
This failed attempt at arranging a meeting between Prince Harry and King Charles sheds light on the underlying disagreements and complexities that have strained their relationship. It remains to be seen how these challenges will be addressed and whether a resolution can be reached in the future.
