LONDON (AP) – Prince Harry arrived in London on Tuesday to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, but will not meet his father during his visit, a spokesperson said.
A spokesman for the Duke of Sussex said King Charles III returned to royal duties last week after a three-month absence due to cancer, but was too busy to see his youngest son.
“The Duke is of course aware of his father’s… commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon,” the statement said.

Since then, he has detailed his rocky relationship with his family in television interviews, documentaries, and his memoir, Spare.
Shortly after his last short trip to London, Prince Harry told “Good Morning America” that he thought his father’s illness might help bring the family closer together.
Prince Harry was in London for an event to mark a tournament he founded for wounded soldiers and veterans.
