The Duke of Sussex returned to the UK this week for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

The crowd, who greeted the prince with loud cheers on his arrival, shouted “We love you, Harry” as he walked along.

One woman said to Harry that she was here for her honeymoon, to which Harry responded: “You didn’t get married in St Paul’s, though?”

Only select people can get married at St. Paul’s Cathedral and there are conditions for those wishing to marry there.

The then Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer were married at St. Paul’s on July 29, 1981, in a traditional Church of England wedding service.

On Tuesday, Prince Harry confirmed in a statement that he would not be meeting with King Charles during his trip to the UK.

A spokesperson for Prince Harry told GB News: "In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the Duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme.

"The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."

King Charles last saw his son Harry in February 2024 following the monarch’s cancer diagnosis.
