In a dramatic turn of events, Prince Harry‘s recent visit to the UK for King Charles III’s coronation was anything but smooth.
After attending the grand ceremony on Saturday, he quickly returned to California, where tensions with his wife, Meghan Markle, reportedly flared.
The Duke of Sussex made a brief appearance in London, arriving just in time to witness the historic moment, but his trip was overshadowed by family strife.
After the coronation service, Harry wasted no time catching a commercial flight back home.
According to reports from the UK’s PA Media News Agency, he boarded a British Airways flight that touched down at Los Angeles International Airport around 7:30 PM local time.
This hurried departure came just hours after he had been part of such a significant royal event.
While Harry was in London, Meghan remained in California, celebrating their son Archie‘s fourth birthday.
This separation seemed to fuel speculation about the couple’s relationship, as sources indicated that Harry and Meghan had a heated argument upon his return.
A blind item from Crazy Days and Nights suggested that their confrontation lasted an hour, leaving Harry feeling frustrated and possibly reconsidering his future decisions, including his biography.
Insightful commentary from HG Tudor revealed Meghan’s chilling reaction to Harry’s homecoming.
It seemed she was displeased with him, suggesting that he had failed to meet her expectations.
Tudor described her demeanor as “cold rage,” implying that there were unresolved issues between the couple stemming from Harry’s UK visit.
Adding to the drama, sources indicated that Harry’s frustrations were not solely directed at Meghan.
Reports emerged detailing his anger towards King Charles and Prince William for their apparent exclusion of Meghan during the coronation celebrations.
Despite Charles’s invitation for Harry to join him for dinner post-ceremony, the Duke declined, feeling humiliated and opting to leave London as soon as possible.
The lead-up to the coronation had been rife with speculation about Harry’s role in the event and whether it signified a potential reconciliation with the royal family.
However, the reality appeared more complex.
Harry’s presence at the coronation, while notable, did not suggest a complete mending of family ties.
In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry made a series of shocking allegations against his family, recounting personal confrontations and detailing his estrangement from them.
Among these revelations was the claim that Prince William physically confronted him during a dispute over Meghan.
Such accusations have only deepened the rift within the family.
Further complicating matters, it was reported earlier this year that King Charles had decided to evict the Sussexes from their residence on the Royal Windsor Estate, shortly after the release of “Spare.”
This decision raised eyebrows and led to speculation about the king’s motivations, with some suggesting it was a retaliatory measure.
CNN royal historian Kate Williams characterized Harry’s appearance at the coronation as a “flying visit,” emphasizing that it was not intended to be a family reunion.
She noted that while Harry’s attendance represented a form of unity, the underlying tensions were still palpable and unresolved.
As the dust settles from this whirlwind trip, it’s clear that Prince Harry’s relationship with his family remains fraught with challenges.
