Despite rumors that Prince Harry snubbed his father’s dinner invitation when he landed in Scotland, Page Six has exclusively learned that King Charles III had already left for his private residence.
When Harry arrived at Balmoral Castle on Sept. 8, Charles and Prince William had already departed for the monarch’s home on the estate, per a palace source.
They were not at Balmoral for dinner at all.
The Sun reported on Thursday that Harry, 38, declined his father’s invite after his wife, Meghan Markle, was allegedly banned from a royal family gathering at the castle to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
According to the outlet, Harry wanted Markle, 41, to join his relatives on the day his beloved grandmother passed away at age 96.
The outlet reported that Charles, 73, phoned his son to say the former actress’s presence was “inappropriate.”
