RICHARD EDEN: Harry and Meghan have caused Queen Elizabeth real grief – so who can blame King Charles for rejecting them?
King Charles has every right to decide that he “has no time in his agenda” to meet Prince Harry tomorrow on his brief return to Britain.
That is the view of Daily Mail Diary editor Richard Eden in his latest Palace Confidential newsletter.
Many had expected a family reunion in Balmoral to mark the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death on Friday 8 September.
But as Mail on Sunday assistant editor Kate Mansey revealed last week, Harry is unlikely to be there.
King Charles will celebrate the first anniversary of his mother’s death at Balmoral on Friday, September 8. It’s his first birthday as king. But Harry won’t be there
Harry’s memoir, Spare, proved to be an explosive bestseller. But it caused pain to his closest relatives, says Richard Eden

Instead, the King and Queen Camilla will spend the day privately at Balmoral, where Elizabeth died, while Prince William and Catherine are expected to lead the tributes in public.
Some are upset by the apparent criticism, saying Charles should take the opportunity to mend fences with his youngest son, who will be attending a charity awards ceremony in London tonight.
“I disagree,” writes Eden.
The California-based couple showed little respect for Harry’s grandparents when they gave an explosive, disgusting interview to Oprah Winfrey as Prince Philip was hospitalized for his latest illness.

And as the frail Queen’s health deteriorated, they added to her concerns by announcing that Harry would be publishing a sweeping memoir and appearing in a Netflix series more critical of her family.
“Who can blame the king if he doesn’t want to see the son and daughter-in-law who brought so much grief to his dying mother?”
