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?

It is not a Royal event. Prince Harry, as an ex-servicemen, was inspired to create the Invictus Games after visiting the Warrior Games in America 2013.
My words, factual statement.
The Royal British Legion and the Ministry of Defence support British athletes participating in the Invictus Games.
Sorry, you're right.
Just some then.

Don't you all need to stop describing your thoughts as if they are facts, though?
I don't think most of us do.
My post above contained links to factual information.

llizzie2 Your post makes perfect sense.
I remember Margaret Rose, the sister who chose to stay royal and not follow her heart, and the heartache it brought her. She wasn't perfect but she was also very much put upon. It might have been far better for her to get out like Harry has.
As for Camilla. She has been successfully morphed by a brilliant PR team from the other woman-third in a marriage, into a sort of saint. I suspect she exercises a huge amount of influence over Charles. I've wondered about what sort of a woman would continue to be a confident to man who has just married, would move in with him and maintain the relationship even though his children needed him and one especially disliked her. It shows two adults who were intent on putting themselves first, which is probably still the case.You need to stop describing your thoughts about situations as though they were facts.

Do you see why I married him? He’s so smart!

We are talking about Harry and Meghan here, obviously.

Some facts for 1lizzie2
www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-support/physical-and-mental-wellbeing/the-invictus-games#:~:text=The%20Invictus%20Games%20is%20an,women%2C%20both%20serving%20and%20veterans.&text=The%20Duke%20of%20Sussex%20was,Warrior%20Games%20in%20America%202013.
The Royal British Legion is supporting the Invictus Games which is an international event.
It is not a Royal event. Prince Harry, as an ex-servicemen, was inspired to create the Invictus Games after visiting the Warrior Games in America 2013.
www.royal.uk/garden-parties
Over the course of each year, over 30,000 guests are invited to spend a relaxed summer afternoon in the beautiful gardens of Buckingham Palace or the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Garden Parties are an important way for members of the Royal Family to speak to a broad range of people from all walks of life, all of whom have made a positive impact in their community.
Can't be bothered to correct the rest.
I think it very shocking that King Charles chose to host a garden party at Buck House the same day as the church service in honour of our military personnel who gave limbs to protect Britain.
I assume that is a tongue-in-cheek remark, otherwise it shows a complete lack of understanding of both the Invictus Games and the purpose of the Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace.
Please tell me you were joking, 1lizzie2

H was offered a royal residence for his visit, H turned it down to stay in a hotel room
..... otherwise H can't play the hard-done-by victim.
Exactly. And who knows which event was arranged first?

Don't you think a lot of the guests at the garden party gave what they could to support Britain in their own way? We can't all be in the forces, though they do a marvellous job.
Haven't they gone "home" yet?
Although in a speech to girls yesterday, Meghan said how she has come home in Nigeria, HER country!??
because she will not be queen-not be an anybody-when King Charles dies
Well, assuming Camilla outlives Charles, she will still be Queen Camilla, or the Dowager Queen, I would imagine. She will definitely still be ‘somebody’.
Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were still all called that when they were widowed.
The latter probably assumed the title of Queen Mother to distinguish from her daughter, also Elizabeth. As she was only 51 when her husband died, the ‘dowager Queen’ title would have sounded rather ageing.

I agree. What a daft post.
llizzie and you experience of family estrangement is what?
Your post shows no understanding of the human individuals involved or of how difficult family relationships can be.
As I hv pointed out before, the prodigal son was repentant. We have yet to see the person who purports to b the prodical son in this set-up show any repentance at all.
What an extraordinary muddled post, llizzie.
Queen Camilla is a stepmother and doesn't count for anything, King Charles should have changed the date of the garden party, not Harry's fault he only has one sibling, poor Princess Margaret, then Cain and Abel and the Good Samaritan dragged in to finish the sermon on Christian charity.
Your point is....?
You certainly do not do facts.
