Prince William Reportedly Brands Prince Harry's Brief Trip To The UK 'A PR Opportunity'
While some people thought that Prince Harry, 39, dropping everything to make the transatlantic trip from California to London when he heard about his father's cancer diagnosis was a selfless action, Prince William, 41, wasn't one of them.
According to royal author Ingrid Seward, the Prince of Wales thought his younger brother's brief trip to the U.K. was nothing more than a "PR opportunity," as he has "absolutely no interest" in reconciling with the royal family following their years-long feud.
"William would be upset that Harry yet again has chosen to make this visit to see his father a PR opportunity," Seward reportedly told The Sun. "As far as William is concerned, he has absolutely no interest in speaking to Harry until Harry behaves like a gentleman and apologizes for the years of rudeness and slurs he has aimed at William and the Princess of Wales."
Prince Harry Spent Less Than One Hour With His Father
Prince Harry spent less than an hour with his father once he arrived in the U.K., with some reports claiming it was just 30 minutes, and others saying it was 45 minutes. They reportedly met at Clarence House, before King Charles and Queen Camilla were driven to Buckingham Palace, where a helicopter was waiting to take them to their Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
The King and Queen are reportedly at Sandringham with the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, for the half term holidays.
It's believed that Prince Harry did not see his brother nor his sister-in-law when he was in the U.K. Seward told The Sun that the Prince of Wales "must be privately furious" that Harry used his trip as "an opportunity to announce his arrival and expect to see William."
