Harry arrives at Invictus Games event moments after landing in UK for flying visit – but he WON’T meet King Charles

Harry flew to the UK alone without Meghan or their children

PRINCE Harry has landed back in Britain for a whistle-stop UK trip – but he won’t see King Charles.

The Duke of Sussex jetted all the way from California for a service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games.

Harry flew to the UK alone without Meghan or their children Archie and Lilibet.

But Meghan will join Harry on his visit to Nigeria later this week, it’s understood.

Harry this afternoon revealed he would not see his dad King Charles after they reunited at Clarence House in February for their first face-to-face meeting for 16 months.

The duke said he “hopes to see his dad soon”.

It’s understood Harry will not see his brother Prince William.

Charles, 75, resumed public duties last week for the first time since beginning cancer treatment.

It had been rumoured that he would meet with Harry as he was expected to attend the year’s first Buckingham Palace garden party.

Both events will finish around 6pm, clearing the way for a first meeting since Harry’s whistle-stop trip in early February.

A spokesperson for Harry this afternoon said that wasn’t the case.

They said: “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.”

Any potential meeting was unlikely to include Prince William, who has been stung by his brother’s attacks.

The brothers have not spoken to each other since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.

It comes as Wills is today set to award the mum of one of Harry’s pals an MBE.

Henry van Straubenzee died in a car crash in 2002 – he had been the duke’s best pal at school.

Wills is now set to today honour Claire van Straubenzee at Windsor Castle in recognition of services to children’s education in Uganda.

Henry, known as Henners, was killed in a car crash near Ludgrove Prep school in Berkshire, where he was working during his gap year.

Prince Harry wrote affectionately of Henry in his memoir Spare.

The duke said: “Skinny, with no muscles, and hair that stood up in permanent surrender, Henners was all heart.

“Whenever he smiled, people melted.”

The Duke said he was the only boy who asked him about his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, after she was killed.

In 2007, Claire and her family set up the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund to support children in Uganda.

It was initially at the school where Henry had been due to teach before his tragic death.

Meghan Markle paid tribute to Henry at a carol service in 2018.
