Uncomfortable – and busy – lies the head that wears the crown.
King Charles has “no time in the diary” to see Prince Harry during his youngest son’s upcoming visit to the UK, a palace insider told The Mail on Sunday.
Harry, 38, was also not expected to see his brother Prince William, 41, during a visit to London for the WellChild Awards on Thursday – before jetting off to Germany for the sixth annual Invictus Games, the outlet reported.
The ginger-haired Duke and his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, have been estranged from the royal family since stepping down as working royals in January 2020 – and later aired many of their grievances against “The Firm” in the smash Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir, “The Remains .”
The couple – who are parents to Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2 – were excluded from the royal family’s annual summer gathering at Balmoral this year, the Mail reported.
As Harry and Meghan give up Frogmore Cottage, their rent-free, grace-and-favour home in Windsor, it is unclear whether the palace will offer Harry accommodation during his brief British sojourn this week.

News of King Charles’ perceived disrespect comes just days after Harry slammed the royal family for their lack of “support” following the death of his mother, Princess Diana in 1997, in the new Netflix documentary “The Heart of Invictus.”
“I didn’t have that support structure, that network, or that expert advice to identify what was really going on with me,” he lamented of the unsettling aftermath of Diana’s fatal car crash – years after the trauma he witnessed on the front lines in Afghanistan .
In “Spare,” Harry claims Charles didn’t hug him when he broke the news that Diana had been killed.

“He’s not good at showing emotion in normal situations, how could he possibly show it in a crisis like that?” Harry wrote about the tense moment.
Additional sources, however, told The Daily Beast that Charles, 74, is proud of Harry’s work with Invictus.
“The idea that Harry has used the series to attack Charles is outrageous; he hasn’t,” mocked the insider.

“The Heart of Invictus” – which failed to crack the Top 10 on Netflix – follows wounded veterans preparing for the 2016 Invictus Games, a multi-sport event for servicemen and women founded by Prince Harry in 2014 after being inspired by the Warrior games in the United States.
Harry will return to Dusseldorf for the final match this month after a speech at the WellChild awards on Thursday – the night before the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, The Mail said.
Last year, Harry was famously set to address the same event but instead rushed to Balmoral to join relatives after his grandmother fell ill and later died.

Harry has been a patron of Well Child for 15 years, and has maintained his involvement with the organization after moving to California nearly four years ago.
William, now the Prince of Wales, and his wife, Kate Middleton, were reportedly “nervous” that Harry would say something at Thursday’s event that would overshadow the milestone anniversary, according to The Daily Beast.
The siblings are believed not to have spoken since the release of “Spare” in January.
Meghan is expected to skip the WellChild Awards due to prior commitments with the couple’s children, and will join Harry in Germany, the source added.
