Daily Express - No appetite to make peace with Harry
Summary of the front page
The Daily Express claims that Prince Harry’s brief visit to Britain for the coronation will leave no time for him to mend fences with the rest of the Royal Family.
The paper quotes a source as saying the Royal Family “are focused on planning for the historic [King’s coronation] and have no appetite or time at this stage to think about reconciliation” between the monarch and his son the Duke of Sussex. It comes following the news that Prince Harry will fly back to the UK for the coronation – without his wife or their children – which the Express yesterday claimed had brought some “relief” to the King.
