King Charles Reportedly Shut Down Prince Harry's Latest Meeting …

While Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, was attending a UK court hearing, King Charles was finalizing his plans for his first overseas tour as king. Originally, Charles and Queen Consort Camilla were supposed to be in France on Monday, March 27, but that stop was canceled due to safety concerns over ongoing protests about raising the retirement age. But, even though the King was in the country until Wednesday, he couldn't squeeze Harry into his schedule.

"Apparently, [Harry] tried to see King Charles, but King Charles said he was too busy," royal expert and author Alexander Larman told Us Weekly. However, given that Charles' travel plans changed, journalist and podcast host Kinsey Schofield doesn't believe the king wanted to make time for a family discussion. "The idea that the king had this time off and chose not to engage with his son tells me that Charles does not trust his boy," Schofield posited to Fox News Digital. "He does not want any drama before the coronation, and he clearly thinks Harry's grievances are petty." However, while the king did have an unexpected opening in his schedule, it was just as quickly filled with royal responsibilities. "Charles is not an ordinary father," Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, explained to the Mirror. "He is King and as such has appointments every 20 minutes of his day.

In between, he has letters to sign, state documents to read, and meetings to attend."
