Prince Harry is set to be in London next week. However, he won’t receive a warm welcome from his family via Fox News.
The Duke of Sussex will make his comeback to the U.K. on January 19th for the latest court date in his ongoing legal battle against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, will be in Scotland — hundreds of miles away — for a joint engagement, People magazine reported.
King Charles will also make his presence felt in Scotland, with an engagement Monday at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the outlet reported.
“Surprise, surprise,” royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital. “In 2026, the rift between the two brothers is still simmering away. A battle royale continues.”
Turner noted that the royal family, specifically William, likely knew Harry’s trial date months ago.
However, royal engagements are planned well in advance. Still, it’s believed the brothers aren’t on speaking terms and haven’t been since 2020.
Turner expressed greater hopes for Harry’s strained relationship with his father.
“There will be no official meeting between Harry and King Charles,” Turner said. “However, that doesn’t stop behind-the-scenes, high-level negotiations between Harry and the king’s officials.”
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital that Harry remains at odds with William, the heir to the British throne.
