Prince Harry’s estranged family have no plans to meet with him during his whirlwind visit to the UK.

His father, King Charles, is working from Highgrove, his Gloucestershire home, before flying out for a three-day state visit to Germany on Wednesday.

Sources close to Harry seemingly briefed chosen members of the media yesterday that he had ‘made contact’ with his father to let him know he would be in the country, but was told that the king was ‘busy’.

His brother, the Prince of Wales, is away with his family as his children have already broken up from school for Easter.
