Upon his arrival in London on Tuesday afternoon, the Duke of Sussex embarked on an overnight flight to meet King Charles, his father.
The encounter between Prince Harry and King Charles evidently signals that unresolved tensions linger between the father and son.
Following an urgent call from his father regarding a cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry hastened to London on an overnight flight, arriving Tuesday afternoon to rendezvous with the monarch at Clarence House.
Their meeting, lasting a tense 45 minutes, concluded with Charles departing for Buckingham Palace, where a helicopter awaited to transport him to Sandringham.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry, previously ousted from Frogmore Cottage alongside his wife Meghan Markle, sought refuge in a luxury hotel for the night.
Reports from The Mail suggest that Prince Harry did not opt for accommodations in any royal residence, indicating an escort to a hotel.
However, his stay is slated to be brief, as both he and Meghan are scheduled to depart for Canada next week to participate in an event commemorating the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler.
The author of "The Spare" has found himself embroiled in a rift with the royal family for the past few years, and while some semblance of reconciliation seemed possible, substantial changes remain elusive.
Furthermore, Prince Harry's previous visits to London have necessitated hotel stays. The Telegraph reported last year that he must formally "give notice" for any future visits, ensuring that appropriate arrangements can be made.
