Prince Harry made a surprise return to London recently for a preliminary hearing in his ongoing lawsuit against the publishers of the Daily Mail.
Despite being in the same city as his father, King Charles III, there was no reported meeting between the two royals.
During the hearing, Prince Harry delivered a witness statement condemning the actions of journalists who engaged in unethical practices like phone hacking, labeling them as criminals.
Interestingly, his appearance coincided with King Charles III's significant address to the Bundestag in Germany during his inaugural state visit abroad as monarch.
Despite their parallel presence in London, sources suggest that the King was too preoccupied to arrange a meeting with his son, fueling speculation about the state of their relationship.
Noted royal historian Alexander Larman, author of The Windsors at War, views this latest episode in the ongoing rift within the Windsor family as indicative of a deeper estrangement.
Larman suggests that the monarch's apparent lack of interest in reconciling with his second son signals an irreparable divide.
Similarly, Christopher Anderson, author of The King, asserts that King Charles III remains incensed by Harry's controversial memoir, Spare, particularly its unflattering portrayal of Camilla, the King's wife.
Despite any hopes for reconciliation that Prince Harry may harbor ahead of the impending coronation, experts like royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams doubt the likelihood of a warm reception from the royal family.
Reports even suggest that Prince William expressed dismay over the situation, underscoring the gravity of the family discord.
In light of these tensions, it is widely believed that Prince Harry will not have any familial encounters during his current visit to the UK.
Adding to the intrigue, royal author Ingrid Seward opines that King Charles III has little incentive to engage in a confrontation with Harry following the perceived disloyalty displayed in his memoir.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace confirmed the monarch's absence from Windsor or London, as he embarked on a state visit to Germany alongside Queen Consort Camilla.
During his address to the German parliament, King Charles III expressed gratitude for the support received after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, emphasizing the enduring ties between the UK and Germany.
In a poignant moment, the King acknowledged Germany's efforts in addressing the humanitarian crisis stemming from the conflict in Ukraine, highlighting the shared commitment to peace and cooperation.
His words resonated deeply, culminating in a prolonged standing ovation from the German parliament, underscoring the significance of fostering goodwill and understanding between nations.
