Prince Harry 'snubbed' King Charles's offer of Royal accommodation during UK stay
Prince Harry turned down the King’s offer of a Royal residence during his UK visit, it has been reported.
The Duke of Sussex was in the UK last week for the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games but chose to stay in a hotel instead.
The King did not see his younger son during the three day visit, which climaxed with a gala event at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday.
Instead, Charles attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace and was seen discussing charity work with David Beckham later in the week.
A “royal source” told the Sun, the tabloid which reported about the residence offer on Sunday, that Charles had been too busy to meet Harry.
"It unfortunately [was] not possible due to His Majesty’s full programme,” the “source” said.
"The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan left London on Friday for Nigeria - where the Duke has also been promoting the Invictus Games by visiting injured servicemen.
On Saturday, Meghan said it was “humbling" to find out through a genealogy test that she is partly Nigerian.
The Duchess was given the Nigerian name Ifeoma after asking a group of women to suggest one for her to take honourably.
"It is a compliment to you because what they define as a Nigerian woman is brave, resilient, courageous, beautiful," Meghan told the audience.
"Never in a million years would I understand it as much as I do now. And what has been echoed so much in the past day is, 'Oh, we are not so surprised when we found out you are Nigerian," she said at the event on women in leadership co-hosted by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Nigerian economist and head of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
