Prince Harry’s team has refuted claims he turned down King Charles III’s upcoming birthday celebration.
Instead, a representative for the Duke, Ashley Hansen, has said there has been “no contact regarding an invitation” to the event marking the King’s 75th year.
His Majesty is due to host a celebration at Clarence House on November 14, but reports have circulated indicating Harry would not be attending.
Seeking to set the record straight, Hansen told the New York Post: “In response to UK media headlines, there has been no contact regarding an invitation to His Majesty’s upcoming birthday.”
The statement claimed it had been “misreported”.
