Prince Harry's recent visit to the UK, coinciding with Meghan Markle's trip to Nigeria, has stirred controversy as he faced criticism for perceived selfish demands made to his father, King Charles, who is battling cancer.
Despite the Duke of Sussex's brief return to attend the Invictus Games anniversary, tensions escalated after the 75-year-old monarch expressed his unavailability to meet with Harry due to prior commitments.
With no royal family members in attendance, Prince Harry received support from his late mother Diana's relatives, the Spencers, during the service.
Royal commentator Carole Malone, speaking on GB News, condemned Harry's alleged demands as selfish, highlighting that he had ample opportunity to visit during his father's hiatus from official duties.
Malone argued that Harry's visit was too brief and criticized him for expecting King Charles to rearrange his busy schedule at short notice.
She emphasized that the King had pre-existing engagements, including meetings with Rishi Sunak and the Prime Minister of Fiji, indicating his packed agenda.
However, Malone acknowledged a shift in public sentiment, noting growing support for Harry and criticism directed towards King Charles for not making time to see his son.
In defense of Prince Harry, commentator Jonathan Lis highlighted the complexity of the situation, suggesting that the full story behind closed doors remains unknown.
