This development comes amidst ongoing tension within the Royal Family, further evidenced by scheduling conflicts preventing a meeting between Charles and Harry this week.
Harry is back in the UK attending commitments related to the Invictus Games and a celebratory event at St Paul's Cathedral marking the project's 10th anniversary.Sources previously suggested that Charles was keen on seeing his younger son during his UK visit, however, such a meeting now appears unlikely due to his busy schedule, reports the Mirror.
