Prince Harry’s brief trip to see his father King Charles following his cancer diagnosis may have “stirred the pot”, according to a royal expert.
The Duke of Sussex flew over from California on Tuesday after news broke that the King was ill, but just a day later he was seen heading back to LA to be reunited with Meghan Markle, who did not accompany him to the UK.
Robert Jobson told The Sun: “This is one of the reasons Charles probably didn’t want all the drama. The fact of Harry flying over does give the suggestion that his condition may be a lot worse than it actually may well be.
“I think a lot of people will be sitting there thinking, ‘ Oh well, it must be bad because he’s on the plane’.
“Harry brings with him a certain drama. Will there be a reconciliation with William and the King? It stirs that whole pot.”
Mr Jobson also pointed out that Harry had attacked Queen Camilla in his memoir Spare, which was unlikely to make the King feel wholly positive towards him.
He added: “The Queen was with the King. Let’s be honest – he wasn’t too complimentary about Queen Camilla in his book Spare.
“He wasn’t very complimentary about her on Netflix. They don’t get on. Second, there’s not been a lot of contact. That brings its own level of complexity and drama which he doesn’t need at the moment.
“The royals do stick to a pretty military clock. You have to get the helicopter pilot there, all these things. So his plans had to be changed. The one thing the King doesn’t like is changing his plans.
“He gave him long enough for a kiss and hug, and wished him all the best.”
