Harry’s over for a Court case but not to see his Papa. 🤔

Charles & Camilla flew out to Rome on a planned visit so they missed one another by mere hours. Harry obviously didn’t want to spend any time with them. He will have known of their itinerary. There are so few occasions when he does fly over now from Montecito. An opportunity lost, especially with his father’s health I think.

Exactly this
I won't be told to butt out of a thread by other posters. It's extremely rude.
If GNHQ wish to do so that is different.

The York , Phillips and Edinburgh children don’t get protection ,

The thing if, if Harry is here for a court case, then he will be tied to the time the lawyers/judge, etc, say it can be heard. So, if it’s coincided with King Charles and Queen Camilla being in Italy, that’s just the way of it - he can’t be dictating to the Court when a case will be heard, I imagine.

Norah, it is published online.

Perhaps they will meet after the King and Queen return and before Harry flies home again.

Oh leave the poor bugger alone! It is all speculation - like local gossip on a grand scale. There is obviously a bit of a family rift - let us leave them to sort it out in peace.

Harry obviously didn’t want to spend any time with them. - it is obvious only to you. You, nor I nor anyone else have the faintest clue about it, so need to butt out.

Exactly this!!!!

I’d have no problem with Harry and family getting protection in this country. He fought for the country. He chose not to be a working royal but that doesn’t stop him or his family being targets of terrorism.

This.

Logical really, fly in for the case to be heard and fly out asap.

Curious, if he is not in contact with his father (as many seem to believe), how would he know, with certainty, his father's diary?

IMO he’s got a huge cheek to be asking the court to reinstate his taxpayer-funded protection - since he’s a son of the king - the head of the royal family he opted to leave as a working member - and has been busily slagging off.

Allira Tue 08-Apr-25 14:28:36

I'm just finding it all sadder and sadder.

Yes, if someone didn't want publicity they can lead a quiet life away from the limelight.

Anniebach Tue 08-Apr-25 14:26:41

If one writes a book about one’s life, and gives many, many, many tv interviews about one’s relationship with one’s family
one wants it discuss surely?

Allira Tue 08-Apr-25 14:21:07

It's not up to other Gransnetters to tell anyone to butt out.
Very rude.

Don't like the thread? Then don't join in.

Harry cannot dictate to the courts be he can choose when to fly
into the country

Really, who cares ? Apart from those concerned of course. Must be a pain in the backside for the lot of them having all the speculation about their every move.

I agree Luckygirl.. Leave the poor families alone..

It has been reported that he has severed ties with his cousin Eugenie now, too. Eugenie and he had maintained a close relationship despite the rift with the rest of the family. He is looking increasingly isolated.

It seems Harry got wind of Eugenie leaving a restaurant in the company of Piers Morgan who isn't backward in coming forward with his views of Meghan.
What's it this time? Another newspaper court case? Seems to be Harry's only income stream these days.

Anniebach Tue 08-Apr-25 13:42:33

A family rift shared with the nation by Harry, he certainly wants it spoken of yes ?

There has always been talk of Harry with red hair and Diana’s
lover James Hewitt , red hair. Ignored by the press Diana’s sister Sara had red streaks and has a son with red hair

Can the royal family trust Harry to keep silent about any meetings? When he came to see the King following release of
the King having cancer, just a few days later he gave an interview on American tv

GrannyGravy13 Tue 08-Apr-25 13:16:47

A breakdown of relationships in any family is sad for all concerned.

This has added betrayal (Harry’s book Spare along with the Oprah Winfrey interview) the allegations made against other Royals most of which have been leaked to the worlds press, this was never going to end in hugs and a family BBQ.

Crossstitchfan Tue 08-Apr-25 13:13:50

We can’t know what goes on behind closed doors and certainly can’t believe much of what the papers say. However, if Harry is making no effort at all to see his father, maybe there is more going on than has been implied.
I have always thought that Harry bears no resemblance in any way, personality or looks, to William, or indeed any of the family. In fact some years ago, it was put about that King Charles was not his father. If this happens to be true, it would explain a lot.
It’s sad because Harry has not only removed himself from the rest of the family, he as also taken away the chance of King Charles getting to know two of his grandchildren. When he comes back to the UK, he comes alone.
Very sad and rather unkind, in my opinion.

Allira Tue 08-Apr-25 13:12:26

Good planning!

Luminance Tue 08-Apr-25 13:10:42

What? Harry is here for a planned visit, they are there for a planned visit? I'm rather baffled where the problem is with that one?

☹
Harry has crossed the Rubicon.
Very sad.
