Prince Harry will miss huge royal event days after bombshell interview

Prince Harry is set to miss a major royal event this week as he is finally reunited with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children back in California, just days after his latest bombshell interview. The Duke of Sussex spent a week away from his nearest and dearest, travelling back to the UK for four days before heading to Ukraine for a series of engagements linked to his Invictus Games.

Harry attended various events linked to his charities and patronages in England, while he also met with his father, King Charles, for the first time in 19 months. Father and son spent 55 minutes having a private tea at Clarence House in London, and no more details about the meeting were disclosed.

However, as the Royal Family gather this week for the Duchess of Kent's funeral, Prince Harry will be absent.

Katharine, the wife of the late Queen's cousin, the Duke of Kent, died peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on the evening of September 4, aged 92

The royal's funeral will take place tomorrow, but today, her coffin will be led by a military piper when it begins its journey to Westminster Cathedral.

In keeping with Catholic tradition, the coffin will travel from Kensington Palace to the Cathedral for a series of private funeral rites attended by the duchess's immediate family.

The requiem mass, a Catholic funeral, will be held on Tuesday attended by the King, Queen and other senior royals and will be the first Catholic funeral service held for a member of the royal family in modern British history.

But the Duke of Sussex will unlikely attend the sombre service as his wife, Meghan Markle, confirmed he is now back in America after his week away.

The Duchess of Sussex posted a new story on her brand's Instagram page, sharing the latest news.

As Ever's story featured a picture showing two glasses of wine and what appeared to be Meghan sitting next to them, while holding a bottle of her own rosé.

A message said: "When your beau is back in town..."

It comes a short while after Prince Harry's bombshell interview with the Guardian, in which he defended his claims about the Royal Family in his memoir, Spare.

He told the newspaper last week: "I don't believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public.

"It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear."
