King Charles recently hosted a garden party with other senior royals, while Prince Harry was notably absent from the reunion. Reports suggest that Harry had requested to stay at a royal residence during his UK trip, but ultimately opted to stay at a hotel instead. Some friends of Charles dismissed claims that the King was too busy to meet his son, stating that he had previously made time to see Harry during a difficult period of illness. Despite the strained relationship between father and son, insiders note that Charles did agree to meet with Harry during his recent visit, albeit with a more reserved approach.
In other news, organizations across the UK can now apply for an official portrait of the King to display in their establishments. This extension of the King’s Official Portrait Scheme aims to provide public institutions with a framed image of the monarch free of charge. Additionally, the Sussexes were spotted in Lagos, Nigeria, as they visited a charity organization working with the Invictus Games Foundation. Prince Harry and Meghan were warmly received, with Harry also attending an event at the Armed Forces Complex in Abuja. The royal couple’s visit to Nigeria continues to garner attention and support as they engage with various charitable organizations.
