Good Morning Britain viewers were left gobsmacked after ITV guest Andrew Pierce claimed that King Charles does not "trust his son" Prince Harry. His shock comments come after it was recently revealed Charles wouldn't have time to meet up with Harry during his scheduled visit to the UK.
The former working royal has been in Britain without his wife Meghan to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. However, a spokesperson for Harry confirmed that his calendar is too busy for a meeting this time round and put it down to a clash in diaries.
The King has had a busy schedule, since he returned to Royal duties after being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Good Morning Britain regular commentator Andrew Pierce said: "I've said it before and I will say it again - the King does not trust his son.
Harry's laid it all bare, exposed everything - he doesn't trust him, nor does William, and no senior member of the royal family is going to see Harry."
Social media users quickly then rushed online to share their opinions on the matter, with one remarking: "Who actually cares if Harry and the King meet each other?", reportsthe Mirror.
Another criticised the episode on X, formerly known as Twitter, stating: "Why randomly drag Harry and Meghan into it? Living rent-free in your heads." One viewer declared: "It's great news that King Charles can't meet with him. The reason's irrelevant; Charles is King and Harry doesn't pull the strings anymore. Simple."
Another remarked: "KC could not trust Haz not to repeat any conversations they might have together therefore the decision was made not to make time for Haz. Netflix must be so disappointed!"
A user added: "Prince Harry is the 'main news' today #gmb Because there's absolutely nothing else whatsoever going on in the world."
The Duke of Sussex, 39, has been in London to attend a special event celebrating the Invictus Games on Wednesday 8 May for its 10th anniversary ceremony, which took place at St Paul's Cathedral. Harry's wife, Meghan, 42, stayed in the US, due to the date clash with the couple's eldest child, Prince Archie's fifth birthday.
Prior to the visit, experts claimed a catchup between estranged brothers Williams and Harry would be off the cards, but added that the Duke of Sussex would make time to see his father. Then just days ago a spokesperson confirmed there wouldn't be a visit between the pair.
"It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme," said the statement from Harry's team. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."
