Prince Harry's sudden return to the UK has sparked new tensions in royal circles, as his judicial appearance in London coincided with King Charles' state visit to Italy.
The Duke of Sussex made an unannounced visit to London over the weekend, garnering attention as he spent two days at the Royal Courts of Justice.
He is appealing the recent denial of his legal action against the Home Office, opposing a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) over adjustments to his taxpayer-funded security when in the UK.
A source close to the King told Richard Kay of The Daily Mail that the Duke's attendance was an unneeded distraction during a critical period in the monarch's overseas travels.
Another source stated that when the king is on an official visit, the rest of the family is expected to avoid anything that draws attention to themselves. Has Harry forgotten all about royal life?'
For those who are unaware, Harry is thought to have last visited King Charles more than a year ago, during a quick visit to the UK in response to the King's cancer diagnosis.
