Harry’s Reunion Snub: The Inside Story
Prince Harry faced a cold blow as Guy Monson, the Invictus trustee, denied dining out with the Duke.
The Duke of Sussex, who arrived in the UK today for the 10th-anniversary ceremony of the Invictus Games in London, revealed his true feelings about reuniting with his father, King Charles, through five telling words.
Despite much speculation, it has been confirmed that Harry will not have a meeting with his father during his UK visit.
A statement released on Tuesday afternoon disclosed that although Harry won't be able to meet the King due to His Majesty's full schedule, he expressed hopes of seeing him soon.
The Duke's spokesperson mentioned his understanding of his father's commitments and priorities and his desire for a future meeting.
However, a royal expert suggested that King Charles may have seen through Harry's intentions, choosing to avoid a potentially contentious reunion just before his Nigeria trip.
The expert speculated that Harry's visit to the Invictus Games might have been a strategic move to gain clout, but with the King refusing to meet him, Harry finds himself without the support he had hoped for.
Despite his initial stance of not taking no for an answer, Harry made a notable mention of Guy Monson during his Invictus speech in London, hinting at a dinner arrangement later, possibly to signal that he won't be alone during his stay in the UK.
While body language expert Judy James interpreted Harry's actions as a deliberate attempt to convey his social engagements during his UK visit, an insider revealed that Harry did not end up having dinner with Guy Monson as planned.
This development comes as another setback for Harry, following King Charles's decision not to meet him, underscoring the depth of their strained relationship.
Guy Monson, a city financier and trustee of the Invictus Games Foundation, has been closely associated with the royal family, notably being part of significant events such as the launch of the Invictus Games in 2014 and the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue in 2021 alongside Prince Harry and Prince William.
Despite the proximity of Prince Harry and King Charles in the UK, their failure to meet paints a stark picture of the existing divide between them.
