King Charles breaks cover as Prince Harry flies into UK – but hopes of reunion dashed

King Charles seemed in fine form today as he was driven to Crathie Kirk at Balmoral this morning with Lady Sarah Keswick beside him. Queen Camilla joined them sitting in the front seat.

Wearing a tweed jacket with a green and red tie, King Charles, 75, looked relaxed as he was driven through the streets of Crathie.

Sitting in the front passenger seat with a beaming smile, Queen Camilla, 77, put on a stylish display in a green coat and a feathered red beret while Lady Sarah Keswick chatted to the monarch.

She is the daughter of former Conservative MP Simon Ramsay, the 16th Earl of Dalhousie, and was married to the late Sir John Chippendale ‘Chips’ Lindley Keswick, who died in April at age 84.

The King and Queen are currently at Balmoral after attending the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament yesterday.

The move comes as Prince Harry arrived in the United Kingdom this weekend for tomorrow’s WellChild awards in London. He will be staying within a stone’s throw of Buckingham Palace tonight.

According to a well-placed source, it is highly unlikely that the Duke of Sussex will meet with his father King Charles during his fleeting visit as the WellChild event will be “his only UK engagement” and his father is expected to remain up north.

The source adds that Harry, 40, is set to fly to South Africa soon afterwards on a trip to see long-time friends and to support his Sentebale charity.

“Harry’s only engagement in the UK is for the WellChild awards,” said the source. “He will then fly to South Africa to see friends that he hasn’t seen for a while and to support his charity.
“There are no official plans in the diary to see the King and it is unlikely that they will meet due to simple geography.”
