Prince Harry’s ‘brazen’ four-word response after being asked about UK return
Prince Harry gave a cheeky four-word response after being asked about his highly anticipated return to the UK earlier this year.
The Duke of Sussex, who made a solo visit to the UK in May for the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, encountered a cameraman who quizzed him.
The camerman asked, “Are you happy to be home?” and Harry quickly responded with a laugh, “Nice to see you” before getting into a black Range Rover.
Before his visit, Prince Harry had disclosed that his father, King Charles III, wouldn’t have time for a catch-up while he was in town as his schedule was too busy.
A spokesperson for Harry said: “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.”
The news is a blow to Harry, especially after expressing his affection for his family in a US interview where he said: “I love my family”.
He also voiced hope that his father’s health challenges might bring the royals back together and mentioned his planned visits to the UK.
However, the King was preoccupied with his own duties, having resumed his official engagements after his battle with cancer.
Prince Harry returned to the UK to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, an event close to his heart, which offers enduring support to wounded, sick and injured service personnel through sport.
The Prince delivered a heartfelt reading at a special thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral, sharing the limelight with actor Damian Lewis, who also recited the iconic Invictus poem.
At a summit in London reflecting on the Invictus Games’ impressive decade-long run, Harry passionately addressed the crowd gathered at the Honourable Artillery Company.
He underscored both the achievements and the ongoing challenges facing the global community, saying: “Sometimes you … look back and go ‘look at what we’ve done’.
“But also given the state of the world, there is so much more to do and I think a lot of uncertainty – but what we’ve created is a global community.
