Royal expert reveals troubling reason Prince William refused to see Harry during brother’s whirlwind trip
A ROYAL expert has revealed the troubling reason Prince William refused to see Harry during his brother’s whirlwind trip.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, made a transatlantic dash on Tuesday to be by King Charles’ side following his shock cancer diagnosis.
The brief 30-minute meet at Clarence House came after the monarch, 75, is said to have spoken to both of his sons about his health update.
Buckingham Palace revealed in a statement on Monday that while undergoing surgery for an enlarged prostate, the unspecified cancer was found.
Charles returned to Clarence House, in London, on Tuesday before flying over to Sandringham, in Norfolk, where he will commence treatment as an out-patient.
Harry travelled the 5,500 miles to briefly see his father before heading back to wife Meghan and kids Archie and Lilibet in the US.
While back on British soil, the Duke didn’t visit his big brother William.
Sources had earlier said the Prince of Wales had “no plans” to see his brother during his brief stint in the UK.
Author Angela Levin has now revealed the reason William wanted to steer clear of Harry was over fears he would “sell stories”.
She told GB News: “William knows that Harry will use conversations to get more publicity.
“He would also use it to be able to sell anything that William said to him and make money that way with Netflix.”
It comes after royal expert Richard Fitzgerald exclusively told The Sun that there’s “no chance” of Prince William forgiving Harry.
He said: “It was never practical on such short notice that he would see William, he had two engagements and has Catherine to care for after her abdominal surgery.
“The trust has to be built up before any real reconciliation, especially between him and William which will be very difficult.
“It is a time where feuds and disagreements are put aside for the wider goal of solidarity – that’s what needs to happen.”
Harry did not spend the night on the royal estate and is thought to have stayed in a hotel instead.
Last year Charles ordered Harry and Meghan to vacate Frogmore Cottage, their home in Windsor.
The Sussexes now reportedly need a “formal invitation” to be able to stay with the royals on “protected property”.
Inside Charles’s 30-minute reunion with Harry after King delayed helicopter to Sandringham so he could welcome his son
KING Charles spent 30 minutes with estranged son Harry — their first meeting in 16 months.
The Duke flew 5,000 miles from the US to London after his dad’s cancer diagnosis.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, landed at Heathrow at lunchtime following a ten-and-a-half hour overnight flight.
He was whisked to London while Charles, 75, delayed a helicopter flight to Sandringham so they could hold their first meeting in 16 months.
The King was said to be “doing very well” and “entirely his normal self”.
A friend who saw His Majesty said: “If you didn’t know there was anything wrong with him you wouldn’t know.”
Another Palace source said the King was “on his usual good form”, and “just a little frustrated that his condition has affected not just his own plans but impacted on others”.
It comes as Wills made a return to public engagements on Wednesday.
The prince publicly acknowledged his father’s health shock at a fundraising gala in London.
He cracked a joke about “getting away from it all” during a speech at a fundraiser for the London Air Ambulance Charity.
Wills was also heard thanking Brits for their well-wishes ahead of the event.
Wills told guests at London’s Raffles Hotel: “Thank you for being here. And thank you to all those whose hard work has made this evening possible.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you, also, for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. It means a great deal to us all.
Then in a light-hearted joke amid a stressful past three weeks, he added: “It’s fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather “medical” focus.
“So I thought I’d come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all.”
