DUTY FIRST

Harry & dad both in London but don't meet

King 'too busy' to his see son & Wills nowhere in sight

PRINCE Harry yesterday came closer to his father the King than he has in months but the reunion royal fans have been hoping for never materialised.

The Duke was briefly in London to mark the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games at St Paul's Cathedral, as Charles hosted a Buckingham Palace garden party just two miles away. But the King was said to be too busy to see his son, confirming a statement earlier this week that revealed the pair would not meet because the monarch had a busy programme of official duties.

The Duke, 39, did not meet up with 41-year-old brother Prince William, either. Harry last saw the King in February when he dashed from the US after Charles's cancer diagnosis.
