The Duke of Sussex arrived in the UK on Tuesday and it was announced shortly after that King Charles would not meet with his son this week.
A spokesperson for the prince said: "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."
Harry last saw his father in February 2024 after it was announced that the monarch had been diagnosed with cancer.
