Seems a bit harsh? All that way too. He landed in the UK a few hours ago. Without Meghan and the children.
From the Telegraph just now:
“ The Duke of Sussex will not meet the King this week, the Telegraph can reveal.
Prince Harry, 39, landed in London on Tuesday morning and had made no secret of his hopes to see his father during his visit.
But a spokesperson for the Duke 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.”
I just think if the King doesn't ’find time’ to see his son then Harry might well just think ‘sod it’ next time/if he comes over.
I know Harry bad mouthed the family in his book ‘Spare’ but still …
What do you think?

Personally I think it’s all a bit mad and more than a bit sad.
Harry and Meghan certainly haven’t helped themselves in anyway, how I have noticed Prince A seems snugly back in the fold!
If H was my son I’d be more than a bit pee’d off with him, but I’d still make time to see however unwell I felt.

I have a few issues with members of my family.
Family and very close friends know but not many.
If I thought the whole village where I live, never mind the whole nation knew and were gossiping I don’t think I would leave the house.
Leave it to them to sort out.
It is their business and no- one else’s.
My darling daughter made two attempts on her life , first attempt she was taken to hospital, one of her cousins asked if he could visit her, i said he could, he wrote of the visit on
Facebook , I could not forgive that
I can’t see why Harry would expect any of his relatives to want to see him if he does? He has made his feelings clear about how he views them so is he missing a link if he thinks they don’t mind! He should have his title taken off him and any privileges that go with it and do what he said he wanted to do, lead a private life. Mmmm, seems he’s a bit mixed up with that thinking as well!!

Goodness me, that’s a terrible thing of her cousin to do! I’d be fuming!
I hope your daughter is managing better now 
Thank you Cossy my darling died a year later. It’s so easy to
say one would forgive, Harry has gone too far, even telling the
world what he said to his grandmother’s body when he was paying respects! Why should the royal family members not feel betrayed?
I thnk Charles could do with no stress at the moment to facilitate his healing, but maybe Harry has arranged to see him. I certainly don't believe the press
I think Charles has enough on his plate without trying to sort out Harry.
Having said that, I think it's a bit churlish not to let Harry stay at one of the Royal residences, they're big enough, unless it's his choice.
Which one ? Next to his brother?.
I suspect that everyone fears Harry has a tape recorder and microphone hidden about his person wherever he goes. Anything said will be recorded and used in evidence, etc.
Is Harry really so naive that he thinks he has done nothing wrong?
He still seems to think he's doing everyone a favour and should be treated like the prodigal son.

Most of the Royals are really detached from the kind of reality that applies to most of us.
I couldn't imagine not finding the time to see one of my children who lives thousands of miles away. Any more than I could imagine bad-mouthing my parents on TV or in a book.
However "normal" they claim to be, they really have no idea what normal really is for the majority of the population.
There are many people who are estranged from children and grandchildren, sadly. It's not unheard of.
Most of the Royals are really detached from the kind of reality that applies to most of us.
We only see the public image and I'm sure they have the same feelings for their family that most of us have.
At least most of us don't have our private lives dissected in the press, on social media.
Reading some posts on here, it's so sad when this happens but sometimes it must be essential to distance yourself from toxic members of your family.

Oh Anniebach I genuinely had no idea, I’m so terribly sorry to be so clumsy and so sorry too for your loss.

I don’t speak for Meghan, as I think she’s much stronger and smarter in many ways than H, but I do think he truly believes he’s the wronged one, the victim, I think he is niave.

There's a nice cottage in Wales somewhere ....

Harry flew in to see the King when it was made public the King
had cancer, the following day he gave an interview to an American tv company
This ^^
As Harry clearly can help exploiting his family for $$$$ or publicity then I don’t blame Charles at all for not meeting him. I would be concerned that any conversations would be secretly taped or filmed as Curtaintwitcher says.

Hugs Anniebach , so sad.
The Royal family isn't broken. It's just that Harry has left. The rest seem quite happy together.
I have personal experience of an ex in-law who has serious issues with family it has destroyed that ex in law and very nearly destroyed my adult child.
I’d do all in my power to protect and heal the relationship problems and we don’t know that that’s not what is happening in this case privately. I do hope that is the case .
Bitterness and vengeance has a lot to answer for.
The RF have a history of holding grudges and not forgiving. Women especially suffer. Wallace Simpson found that out.
Are we really interested in Harry any longer? I’m certainly not…..
Good grief Glorianny you had to go back to the 30’s ,
No I’m not really either grannyIvy but I do think it’s important for future generations that bitterness is put to bed.it destroys people. Our world is a case in point…
Back nearly 85 years. I think most families would congratulate themselves on going that long without a major falling out.
Anyway, the past is another country, they do things differently there.

But that wasn't to do with just family - it was a Constitutional crisis and yes, it had a huge impact nationally and in fact internationally too.
In the long-term it was a blessing although it did not seem so at the time.
