The Duke of Sussex scored 10e Invictus Games anniversary with his uncle, Lady Diana’s brother. Meanwhile, King Charles III was with working royals at Buckingham Palace.
They did not meet “because of his majesty’s busy schedule”. Prince Harry’s office announced on Tuesday, May 7, that King Charles III will not be able to receive him during his three-day visit to England. “The Duke certainly understands the issues surrounding his father’s agenda and various priorities, and he hopes to see him soon.” The last visit of Meghan Markle’s husband to the United Kingdom was in February. At the time, Prince Harry spoke only briefly to the monarch at Clarence House following the announcement of her cancer.
For the tabloids, Charles III once again “squeezes” his son. Despite invitations to the sovereign and Prince William, there was no sign of the Windsors at the 10th-century service.e Anniversary of the Invictus Games – a competition dedicated to wounded soldiers, war veterans and people with disabilities, launched by the Duke of Sussex. The latter, however, was able to count on the support of the Spencer clan. He thus enjoyed a warm meeting with the family of his mother, Lady Diana. Prince Harry especially hugged his uncle Charles Spencer and his aunt Lady Jane Fellowes. Her cousins Lara and Louis Spencer and George McCorquodale were also in attendance at the event at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday 8 May.

Charles Spencer’s Promise
Not far from there, Charles III invited active members of the family to the first garden party of the season, held at Buckingham Palace. Guests included Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. For his part, Prince William was at Windsor Castle for the awards ceremony. He thus awarded Claire van Straubenze, who founded an association for the benefit of education in Uganda. Prince Harry then flew to Nigeria without seeing his father or older brother again. He has to pay a three-day visit there with his wife, Meghan Markle.
In turn, Charles Spencer, with whom the Duke of Sussex was close, expressed his desire to protect the princess’ sons during Lady Diana’s funeral in September 1997. “I promise that we, your blood family, will do our best to perpetuate the fantasy that you (Lady Diana, Editor’s Note) raised these two exceptional young men so that their souls would not simply be overwhelmed by duties and traditions, but would be able to sing openly as you wanted.” A promise she seems to have kept to Prince Harry.
