The 75-year-old monarch, who was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of February, attended an event in the green gardens of Buckingham Palace this sunny Wednesday.
Harry, 39, who lives in the United States with his wife Meghan and their two children, was present at a ceremony at Saint Paul Cathedral..

That bad family relationship had a hiatus due to the king’s cancer, which motivated a lightning trip by Harry in February to see his father, with whom he met for just an hour, before the monarch traveled to his country residence.
The cancer of his father, the nature of which is unknown, or that of his sister-in-law, Princess Kate of Wales, 42, wife of his brother William, could have constituted good reasons to iron out rough edges.
Why wouldn’t there be a meeting?
But that won’t be the case. Two years after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the waters are murky within the monarchy, with Harry’s distant relationship with Charles and William.
A meeting between the two “will unfortunately not be possible due to His Majesty Charles III’s very busy schedule,” a spokesman for Harry said.

The Duke, of course, is aware of his father’s schedule, his commitments and his other priorities, and hopes to see him soon.
The king, in a gray suit, greeted and chatted with the guests.
For his part, Harry attended the ceremony at Saint Paul’s Cathedral late in the afternoon and must travel to Nigeria in the coming days.

Questioned by AFP in front of the cathedral, a citizen found justification for the king’s refusal to see his son.
Harry “is just coming to publicize himself before he goes to Nigeria, to pretend to be part of the royal family,” he said.

The remoteness of the king and his son
The tabloids, mostly hostile to Harry and Meghan, due to the complaints of both against this tabloid press, were not convinced by the excuse of their busy schedules.
For example, him Daily Mail I affirm that the illness “seems to have separated the two men even further.”
Although they appeared together in public in the days following the death of their grandmother Elizabeth II, in September 2022, Harry’s accusations in his autobiography, in which he treated William as irascible and violent, alienated them.
The cancer of William’s wife and Harry’s sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, of which details are also unknown, was not even close to both brothers, announced almost at the same time as that of her father Charles III, after undergoing a mysterious abdominal operation.
