Prince Harry's huge public pledge to King Charles torn apart by expert
The Duke of Sussex had said wanted to see his father as much as possible following his cancer diagnosis - but the reality has been quite different.
Prince Harry’s public pledge to see his family “as much as I can” has been ripped apart. The Duke of Sussex jetted to the UK as soon as he could following his father’s cancer diagnosis back in February.
But since then the prince hasn’t seen his father again - including during a visit to celebrate the Invictus Games in May - despite the vow to do so.
Now the promise has been ripped apart by royal commentator and journalist Charlotte Griffiths who said he “just wouldn’t separate” from wife Meghan Markle for long enough to honour it.
After his whistlestop trip to see his father Harry said: "I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could."
He added "I’ve got other trips planned that will take me through the UK, or back to the UK, and so I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can."
Speaking on the Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential broadcast on YouTube Ms Griffiths recounted the Sussexes’ last appearance on the balcony during Trooping the Colour back in 2022 - and cast doubt on Harry’s promise to frequently return.
She said: “Meghan actually looked quite uncomfortable and I can’t see her ever wanting to stand on that balcony again because she has to stand at the back and share the limelight which we know isn’t her favourite thing and I just can't ever see him coming back without her.
“He just wouldn’t do that. He just wouldn’t separate from her for long enough and I just think she’d probably refuse even if she was in the UK which is a hypothetical argument as we know she doesn’t come here.”
She added: “Anyway it’s just very sad.” Richard Eden, the Daily Mail’s diary editor, said that the pair are “not wanted” at such events.

He said in the discussion: “They need to face facts that they’re just not wanted there and I don’t think any other members of the Royal Family want to see them.”
Meanwhile, it’s been claimed that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s A-list friends are “dropping like flies” as celebrities avoid them.
Those are the new claims from Paul Burrell, who worked as the former butler to Princess Diana. It’s been reported that George Clooney and his wife Amal, along with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, have turned down recent invites from the pair.
Paul said: "Back in the day, the A-listers were riding on the moment - Harry and Meghan were the most popular couple in the country at one time, when they got married, but there’s since been a decline," reports Closer.
