King Charles 'too busy' to meet with Duke of Sussex during Prince Harry's UK visit | ITV News

The Duke of Sussex “hopes” to see his father “soon” after the King’s “full programme” meant a reunion was not possible during Harry’s UK trip to celebrate his Invictus Games.
Harry has travelled to London to mark the 10th anniversary of his Paralympic-style tournament for wounded veterans and serving military but will not cap his visit by sitting down with his father.
The pair last met soon after the King announced his cancer diagnosis in February and his son, who now lives with his family in California, rushed from America to see his father.

It’s not a snub. Despite knowing for months about this event, Harry couldn’t be bothered, or was too paranoid, to solidify his itinerary in advance so that a visit could be accommodated. The King can’t just cancel others who have worked out a schedule for someone who refuses to give any notice of visits. But the real reason for not meeting is Harry would not be allowed to visit the King alone so the kid is holding his breath and kicking around in a circle on the floor, thinking he’s punishing the King.

Harry’s fault for turning the Invictus Games into the Vindictive Games. An ABC documentary in the US on the Invictus games a statement was made that William was jealous of Harry’s success with the games. Harry goes to the UK to support Invictus without Meghan or his family’s support but takes her to Nigeria to support Invictus where she will most likely get a warm welcome. It is more about getting good PR for Meghan than it is about disabled veterans. I will Boycott the games if they come to Washington DC and give all my support to the Warrior Games here in the US!

[@daneenepostell4585]

@@suej9329 Sue, you have been very polite and kind in expressing your point of view. When someone responds to me with that elegance and politeness, it disarms me. And that's when I respond that I respect your point of view even if I don't share it. Because? For me, a leader (as in this case it is supposed to be Charles) has to have the temperance and pragmatism to hold all the difficult conversations that will come his way, to anticipate problems. The situation of Charles, William and Harry was not created by Harry alone. There was a lot of deafness on the part of Charles and William, a lack of will to have a robust, healthy and frank conversation, a lot of protocol involved that did not contribute anything positive, but rather subtracted. They missed a great opportunity with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I'm not saying that, it's a fairly generalized opinion. This is a dynamic couple that simply crashed into stagned machinery, which resists the fact that the times today are something else... and I, an old person is telling you this.

[@sabinamolinelli3618]

@@zzzbbbooo In my opinion, neither the king nor anyone else can punish Harry and hold him solely responsible for this feud. Charles and William are equally at fault. They can't keep running out the back door in fear every time Harry visits the UK. I can assure you that there has been a lot of deafness, arrogance, and lack of will on the part of both the king and the future king, paying attention to a bunch of opportunistic lackeys and scammers, who only look out for their own interests.

H didn’t found it ! He brought what he saw from the US wounded warriors games back to the RF, and H and William wanted to create their version of that for the UK. At some point W wanted to step back to let H have it bc he liked it so much. There has always been a team that runs it and does all the work to run it. H just shows up for major events and supports the cause with his presence. The last several years it’s come to light that he uses a lot of the money given to the games to fund his and M’s expensive five star lodging, M’s multiple new outfits, private travel, etc…. Shouldn’t he be giving to the cause instead of taking from it. William gave a million to it anonymously (until it came out bc of one of H’s law suits and complaints, not bc W wanted it out there or to brag.) As for KC….. neither ye nor the RF can downs tine with H or M bc that absolutely can’t not trust them. KC had enough sense to know that H only wants them there bc he’s afraid he’ll get booed or a cold reception bc mist want him to step down. Of course he won’t bc he only cares about himself. He’s showed us that many times over. He only wants to dart in and see KC long enough to have relevance and ti have a chance to ask for things and make more threats, or record a conversation, or to be able to play the victim or come back and lie about what was said. The betrayal is endless. Yes, it’s sad that they can’t be around him but it’s totally and completely of H and M’s own making. Thus us in them and them alone !!

Stop with the propaganda: Harry DID NOT found Invictus Games! It was established by the Royal Trust and both William and Harry were patrons of the event. As the heir, William has much more responsibility than his brother, so he stepped away from the Games to give Harry some much-needed responsibility and purpose of his own. Had William not been so magnanimous, the duke would've been lost. Years after Megzit, Harry is clinging to the Games because he's failed to develop any credible projects of his own. He claims to live a life of service when in fact, he's only self-serving.
