UK: Prince Harry rejects dinner invite with King Charles III

Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry rejected the dinner invite with King Charles III and elder brother Prince William at Balmoral castle on 8 September, the day Queen Elizabeth II passed away. 

The incident caused Harry to miss an RAF flight he was supposed to take to Scotland with his brother William and their uncles Andrew and Edward. 

Harry was asked to make travel arrangements, yet he reached Scotland minutes after the news of the Queen’s passing was reported.

Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry insisted to the royal family that his wife, Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, should also be invited to the Royal family dinner. Still, the new King Charles III declined his proposal, saying it was inappropriate.

Charles’ move left Harry “furious” and caused him to miss an RAF flight to Scotland he was scheduled to take with William and their uncles Prince Andrew and Edward.

hearts and the crowd gathered in queues for 17 hours to pay their last respects to the late Monarch of Britain.
