Queen Camilla executed the perfect plan to decline Prince Harry’s invitation

Queen Camilla is believed to have hatched a plan to politely decline Prince Harry’s invitation.

Harry has extended invitations to members of the royal family for the service. However, it coincides with a garden party at Buckingham Palace on the same day, and royal experts believe very few people will attend.

When Prince Harry returns for the 10th anniversary commemorative service of the Invictus Games on Wednesday, Camilla is expected to tell him she is “otherwise engaged.” These two simple words also indicate the king’s feelings towards his youngest son.

Prince Harry could meet his father, sources say, but the Queen is said to be ‘in no rush’ to reunite with her estranged stepson.

According to the Express, the insider said: “Let’s just say the Queen might otherwise get engaged. Although the King will have time for a brief visit in his diary, it has not yet been confirmed due to the garden party schedule Even if Harry meets his father, it’s highly unlikely that Camilla will be in the same room.”

Harry last visited the UK in early February and came for just a day after King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. The two had a brief meeting at Clarence House in London, which lasted less than 45 minutes, although it is not known whether Camilla was present.

It is not expected that the Duke of Sussex will be in London for long, as he and Meghan Markle plan to visit Nigeria later this month. If he manages to meet his father, it will be a brief meeting. The King has a busy schedule, which includes his weekly meetings with the Prime Minister as well as garden parties.

The source said: “Health permitting, the monarch is due to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace on May 8. If a meeting with Harry was to take place it would have to be just before or after that.”

He added: “No special arrangements will be made for the meeting, but one may be incorporated into pre-existing plans.” Since moving to the US, the Duke has had a strained relationship with the rest of the royal family, with relations soured due to his and Meghan’s TV appearances and her book Spare.
