Prince Harry may have flown over to the UK in May to attend his father King Charles’s Coronation, however it is not expected he will do the same next week when the King turns 75.
His Majesty is due to host a celebration at Clarence House on November 14 to mark his birthday, with many close family and friends attending, but Harry is not likely to be among them.
According to insiders the Duke of Sussex has been invited to the party but has declined the offer, in what is apparently the second time he has chosen to avoid seeing his father.
It was reported in the Sunday Times at the weekend that the King had invited Harry to Balmoral in September to spend the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death with him, but the Duke instead marked the occasion in Windsor.
It has been claimed the pair still “don’t speak much” due to Charles’s “disappointment” at the way Harry depicted his family life in his memoir Spare.

This comes as Harry and Meghan’s unofficial biographer Omid Scobie gave a scathing account of the Firm to promote his new book Endgame, the follw-up to 2020’s Finding Freedom.
The description on Amazon states the hardback is “a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy – an unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image and a prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family”.
A source told The Mail on Sunday: “I’ve been told this is bad, very bad. It is unlikely that royal aides will comment, but if there are charges of racism, they will, of course, be robustly rebutted.”
