Harry's trip exposes latest sad turn in frosty relations

Years may have passed since Harry and Meghan fled the UK but that doesn't mean the state of the royals isn't still a desperately sad situation.

Prince Harry prepares to head to the UK for an Invictus Games anniversary event next week — his first visit since he learned of his sister-in-law Kate's cancer diagnosis.

Just five weeks ago, when they apparently learned from the press about the Princess' health battle, Harry and Meghan wished her "health and healing".

So, the optimists among us might expect the rifts of the past four years could stay on the backburner when Harry visits London next week, with the family turning up in person to wish the Princess well.

How nice it might have been to hear that the family had put their problems aside and offer some in-person support to Kate, William and their children, during their time of need.

Yet, of course, that won't be happening.

Meghan, who is still soft launching jams through her swanky new brand America Riviera Orchard, is staying well away from her in-laws.

Instead, she'll join Harry immediately after his trip to the UK for an unofficial royal tour to Nigeria.

And then we have the living situation. The King has four spare rooms at Clarence House alone, yet Harry is said, once again, to be staying in a hotel.

Perhaps he turned down an offer of a room? Who knows, but it seems the royal family can't even stand to be living under the same roof as Harry.

No matter whose side you've been on during the years of royal turmoil, there's a family at the heart of it. And it has irreparably fallen apart.
