Prince Harry surprised the world with his latest move.
The Duke of Sussex flew to England to make four high-profile appearances at London’s High Court to take part in the hearing in a case against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), the company behind the Daily Mail.
The British military officer and other celebrities, including Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost, and Elton John, sued the media giant for invading their privacy.
Without his wife, Meghan Markle, by his side, Prince Harry, wearing an elegant and expensive Dior shirt, turned his court appearances into victory laps where he was greeted by hundreds of fans and dozens of photographers and journalists.
Prince Harry also beamed inside the courtroom. In his witness statement, Prince Harry threw King Charles III and the monarchy under the bus by saying: “The Institution was without a doubt withholding information from me for a long time about NGN’s phone hacking. That has only become clear in recent years as I have pursued my own claim with different legal advice and representation. It is not an exaggeration to say that the bubble burst in terms of what I knew in 2020 when I moved out of the United Kingdom.”
He further lashed out at the British royal family by claiming that he was “conditioned to accept” the policy put in place by Queen Elizabeth to “never complain, never explain.”
King Charles was quick to pour cold water over Prince Harry’s lap of honor by confirming that he had no plans to meet with him.
His Majesty used two brutal words, “too busy,” to humiliate Prince Harry.
Royal expert Daniela Elser revealed that King Charles’s decision not to see his son all but confirmed that this is “the last straw for His Majesty.”
She added: “Nearly immediately after news of Harry’s return to London broke on Twitter, it was being reported by the Telegraph that His Majesty was ‘too busy’ to see his son, a line that was quite hard to swallow given that last-minute cancellation by the French.”
King Charles was holed up at his Highgrove estate because his trip to France was canceled due to violent protests and unrest over President Emmanuel Macron‘s pension reform bill that would increase the retirement age from 62 to 64 years old.
In an interview with Fox News, royal expert Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di For Daily podcast, added the King’s refusal to break bread or even have a conversation with Prince Harry is significant.
She revealed: “The King’s diary is typically built months in advance. But the idea that the King had this time off and chose not to engage with his son tells me that Charles does not trust his boy. He does not want any drama before the coronation, and he clearly thinks Harry’s grievances are petty.”
Some observers still believe that Prince Harry will be at the coronation ceremony in May.
