Prince Harry Arrives in UK as King Charles Heads to Italy for State Visit

Prince Harry arrived in the UK just hours before King Charles and Queen Camilla departed for a four-day state visit to Italy, reigniting interest in their strained relationship. Harry's visit coincides with his ongoing legal battle against the Home Office regarding taxpayer-funded armed security for himself and his family, a case he argues is vital for their safety. Following a 2020 decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that limited his security due to his change in status, Harry's appeal is currently being heard in court. Additionally, tensions surrounding his charity Sentebale have escalated, with accusations of harassment and bullying exchanged between Harry and the chairwoman, leading to an investigation by the Charity Commission. The timing of their travels raises speculation about whether the father and son had a chance to meet before the King's departure. Meanwhile, King Charles's visit aims to strengthen diplomatic ties between the UK and Italy.
