Having jetted into London with his wife for work, Prince Harry was already in the UK just days before the Queen’s health began to fail, but the late monarch would take her last breath without her grandson ever saying goodbye.
His father, now King Charles III, had invited Harry, 38, and the Duchess of Sussex, 41, to stay at Birkhall, just a stone’s throw from Balmoral Castle, where the Queen passed away. However, the duo refused the offer at the time, choosing instead to base themselves at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
Insiders reveal Harry’s main reasoning was the fact he and Meghan needed to be closer to London’s airports, given they had business in Germany too, but he also wasn’t interested in breaking bread with his 73-year-old father at that point.
Now Harry is said to be riddled with regret for letting his pride get in the way.
