The Duke of Sussex’s visit to the UK was scheduled months in advance, but the King’s visit to a barracks this week was dubbed as a “surprise”.

It was reported that Harry invited the King to St Paul’s Cathedral for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

Meanwhile, the Palace has not issued any statement over the monarch not seeing Harry son during his UK visit, despite the Duke mentioning that “it was “great” to be back to his own country. Harry last met his father in February for a brief period when he was diagnosed with cancer.

Meanwhile, the Duke and his wife Meghan Markle received a grand welcome in Nigeria as they landed in the African nation for a three-day tour.
