Prince Harry is set to face a chilly reception from the royal family as he returns to the UK for a High Court battle, according to a royal author.
The Duke of Sussex, who has yet to confirm his attendance at King Charles‘ coronation in May, is under fire for his recent criticisms of family members.
Royal expert Christopher Anderson revealed that Charles remains incensed by the bombshell accusations Harry made in his memoir.
Even if Harry aims to mend fences before the coronation, Anderson expressed skepticism about the likelihood of a warm welcome.
It seems that Prince William has expressed his frustration by throwing up his hands in response to the ongoing drama.
Additionally, Charles III reportedly remains furious over Harry’s unflattering portrayal of Camilla as a villainous figure in his memoir.
Another royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, noted that Harry is unlikely to have any interactions with his family members during this visit, underscoring the deep-seated divide between the Sussexes and the royal family.
The timing of Harry’s return coincides with Charles’ unexpected presence in the UK, as the King had to cancel a planned state visit to France due to civil unrest.
Although the royal family is not currently in London, with William and Kate away for Easter break with their children, the proximity of Harry and Charles marks their first face-to-face encounter in six months.
Despite rumors of potential reconciliation, the palace clarified that the King would soon depart for a state visit to Germany, emphasizing the lack of immediate plans for a family reunion.
Notably, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been instructed to vacate Frogmore Cottage, their UK residence on the Windsor estate, as per the King’s orders.
This directive suggests that Harry may need to address packing up any remaining belongings during his stay.
Furthermore, Harry has initiated legal proceedings against the home office regarding security arrangements while in the UK, raising concerns about his own safety measures during the visit.
Amidst these developments, palace staff have been directed to incorporate provisions for the Sussexes into the upcoming coronation arrangements.
However, it remains uncertain whether Harry and Meghan will attend the ceremony on May 6, coincidentally falling on their son Archie‘s fourth birthday.
The couple, who have been utilizing royal titles for their children, Archie and Lilibet, have not disclosed their intentions regarding the event.
