But he has become estranged from his father and brother since leaving the royal family in early 2020 and moving to the United States with his American wife, Meghan. “I do hope you’ll go from strength to strength in the future with the Prince of Wales as your new colonel-in-chief,” he told the regiment in a speech.Prince Harry did not meet King Charles in London
His appointment came just days after Harry visited London but did not meet his father due to what he said was the king’s “full programme”.The Duke of Sussex, as Harry is also known, did not meet William either, who was scheduled for a visit to Cornwall in southwest England.
