Prince Harry’s most recent meeting with King Charles just came to an end, and a source warns the consequences are still to be felt.

In their eyes, despite the Palace having explained away absesnses of some senior royals a source admits, this is a ‘lesson’ being taught to the youngest.

They spoke about this with Closer magazine and admitted, “Harry’s being taught a lesson,” and the lession, in the eyes of the expert is that “ultimately; he can bleat and squawk about it all he likes but the decision is final and he’s been put squarely in his place.”

“Of course it’s been phrased very carefully with the official excuse being that staff had insufficient time to prepare, plus the King’s busy work calendar was also a factor. But nobody is really buying that, certainly not Harry,” they admitted.

All in all, “it’s a huge kick in the teeth that’s left him highly embarrassed and anxious about what the future holds from this point on,” they admitted too near the end of the chat. “He’s got no choice except to go back to the drawing board because the door’s effectively been slammed shut in a very public and unedifying manner.”

While its true that right now he’s trying to ‘salvage’ what he can and would “dearly love advice on how best to navigate the security issue moving forward,” so he can bring Meghan and the kids to the UK in due course “and enjoy a full catch-up like just they’ve been planning out for months now. But he’s grasping at straws and all the chaos that preceded this latest UK visit has left a very sour taste in everyone’s mouth – especially his father’s,” they said before concluding.
