The insider tells journalist Paula Froelich, "Charles won't invite them. Especially not after their trip to Australia."

The Sky News reported King Charles is said to be unimpressed by Meghan and Harry’s four-day visit to Australia, where the Duke delivered a series of deeply personal - and pointed - remarks about royal life.

Prince Harry told the crowd, "After my mum died, just before my 13th birthday, I was like, 'I don't want this job. I don't want this role'."

Archie and Lilibet doting father further said, "Wherever this is headed, I don't like it. It killed my mum, and I was very much against it."

He also made a rare comment about his father Charles.

Harry said he wanted to be a better parent than his father, and credited therapy with helping him to "cleanse himself of the past".

During a visit to a men's mental health charity in Melbourne, Harry took part in a discussion on stage, saying that kids should be "upgrades" of their parents and opening up about difficulty connecting to his son in the early weeks of his life.

The insider told the journalist, "They (Harry and Meghan) never would have pulled this stunt if the Queen were alive, but they can now?"

"Harry and Meghan will come. But it won't be at the King's invitation."

Earlier, a friend of Harry had said he would "love" to reconnect and spend time at Sandringham during a planned UK visit in July.

The friend says "He'd like an invite to Sandringham. Would he go? It would depend on who was there. If the King was to say, 'Come up and spend some time with the family', he'd love that."
