Prince William has ‘NO plans’ to see Harry during his UK trip and has ‘other priorities’ while caring for Princess Kate
PRINCE William has "no plans" to see Harry during his trip to the UK, insiders have said.
The Duke of Sussex landed from Los Angeles this morning and paid a 45 minute visit to cancer-diagnosed dad King Charles.
The pair are thought to have enjoyed a short private meeting at Clarence House before the King was helicoptered to Sandringham.
Charles touched down in the grounds of the Norfolk mansion in the wind and rain before being rushed inside by waiting aides.
Locals said the landing spot was on the rare side - and usually reserved for moments when the Royals are looking to maximise privacy.
It is unclear how long or where Harry, 39, will stay during his trip.

But an insider said Prince William, 41, has no plans to drop in on his brother.
The Prince of Wales instead "remains focused" on looking after wife Kate, currently recovering from abdominal surgery.
The insider said: "There are no plans for Harry’s visit to act as some kind of vehicle for reconciliation.”
Dad-of-three Wills is helping out as Kate takes extended leave from public duties until after Easter.
The family are currently at Adelaide Cottage, Windsor.
Sources close to Harry said he would meet William “if the opportunity were to arise”.
The King appeared in high spirits this afternoon as he left his meeting with the Duke of Sussex.
