Real reason Prince Harry is unlikely to bring Archie and Lilibet to the UK amid Meghan 'snub'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's three-day trip to Nigeria began on Thursday, May 9 and saw them meet military officials, speak about mental health and promote the Invictus Games. While the pair stepped back from their senior royal roles in 2020, their visit to the west African nation was dubbed a 'mini royal tour' – a reference which a leading royal expert points out will not have "pleased" King Charles or the Prince of Wales.

The alleged reason King Charles turned down the chance to see his son, Prince Harry this week is that he wanted to steer clear of any "drama", according to Royal insiders. As Prince Harry, aged 39, touched down in the UK on Tuesday for the tenth anniversary celebrations of the Invictus Games before his three-day trip to Nigeria, many thought he would meet his father, King Charles, especially after the King's cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
