PRINCE Harry didn't stop to see King Charles during his brief, few days-long trip to the UK, amid his dad's cancer battle.
The Duke of Sussex flew to England from California on Tuesday ahead of events connected to his work with the Invictus Games.
He jetted in from his home in Montecito, California, where he lives with wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

Despite his father's well-documented health battles in recent weeks, the pair couldn't find the time to see each other, at all.
They are in the same city, with Harry's scheduled plans only lasting a few hours, however the King insists he has a "full programme".
Harry's spokesperson told SundayStar.co.uk that any meeting would "unfortunately not be possible due to His Majesty's full programme".
"The Duke of course is understanding of his father's diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon," they explained.

On Tuesday, Harry reportedly spent time in meetings after his flight and on Wednesday he attended a reading at St Paul's Cathedral.
The King was reportedly in meetings himself all day and couldn't see Harry, he's also set for an appearance in London on Thursday.
The 75-year-old, undergoing cancer treatment, hasn't spent much time with Harry since his coronation, with their last run-in taking up only 30 minutes.
After their last meet, Harry said he was thankful to "spend any time" at all with his dad.
"I love my family. And the fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see [my father] and spend any time with him," he told Good Morning America.
"I'm grateful for that. I've got other trips planned that would take me through the UK or back to the UK, so I'll stop in and see my family as much as I can."
