THE DUKES OF HAZARD!
HARRY SHOWS UP UNANNOUNCED & GETS SNUBBED BY CHARLES & WILLIAM
ROGUE Prince Harry was brutally snubbed by his father, King Charles, who refused to see his wayward son when the renegade royal made a surprise visit to Britain!
The 74-year-old monarch and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, 75, gave Harry the brush-off, with palace staffers telling the tattletale they were “too busy” to see him — even after they’d canceled a threeday visit to France!
Harry also didn’t get to meet his big brother, future king William, 40, who was officially on vacation and too far from London for a family gettogether — even if he was so inclined, which sources insist is not in the cards.
“It was no coincidence Charles and William were unavailable when Harry breezed into Britain to take care of some legal matters,” says a high-level courtier.
“After the attacks and humiliations Harry heaped on them in his memoir, Spare, and those TV interviews trashing the royal family, his father and brother are avoiding him like the plague. They can’t trust him.”
The royal snub is a powerful slap in the face for Harry — and his diva wife, Meghan, says the courtier.
“If he expected to swagger into town, meet to discuss his demands and have Charles roll over saying, ‘Whatever you and Meghan want,’ he was very much mistaken,” dishes the source.
“Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are invited to Charles’ coronation next month, they’ve yet to accept. It’s like they’re holding His Majesty to ransom. But so far Charles and William aren’t biting.”
Harry, 38, flew from his $14 million California mansion for a hearing in London’s High Court, where he’s suing a newspaper publisher he claims used illegal tactics to get information against him and other celebrities. Legal experts say a public appearance wasn’t necessary — but insiders claim Harry wanted a show.
While being offered a private entrance, Harry chose the main door, amid a throng of cameramen. “Harry clearly wanted to be seen,” says the courtier. “But the palace sees his appearance as a public display of defiance. By snubbing Harry, Charles and William avoided a confrontation — for now. But with the coronation looming, this family war looks set to explode.”
