Looks like one son isn’t getting the royal treatment.
Prince Harry reportedly snubbed an invitation to his father’s 75th birthday party. But his reps said that’s not the full story.
King Charles is set to have a birthday celebration at Clarence House in London on Nov. 14, according to the Sunday Times.
His close family and friends will attend – including Prince William, 41, Kate Middleton, 41, and Queen Camilla, 76 – but Harry and Meghan Markle will be no-shows, according to insiders.
When The Post reached out to representatives for Harry for comment, they however refuted the rumors.
“In response to UK media headlines, there has been no contact regarding an invitation to his majesty’s upcoming birthday,” Ashley Hansen told The Post. “It is disappointing the Sunday Times has misreported this story.”
A rep for King Charles could not be reached by The Post for comment.
Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, reportedly delayed their Namibia honeymoon to attend a garden party to celebrate Charles’ 70th birthday in 2018.
But a lot has changed in five years.
Harry and Meghan stepped down from their senior duties to the royal family and moved to California, Harry aired William’s dirty laundry – including allegations that the brothers got into a physical fight.
And, in his book “Spare,” he was harshly critical of his stepmother, Camilla, and branded her a “villain.”
The Duke of Sussex claimed that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media to maintain her image and boost her popularity.
Camilla was reportedly “hurt” by the manner in which Harry characterized her in his book.
Camilla did not speak out, but her friend Fiona Petty-Fitzmaurice, Marchioness of Lansdowne, told the Sunday Times that the king’s wife was affected by the remarks.
“Of course it bothers her, of course it hurts. But she doesn’t let it get to her,” she told the outlet.
“Her philosophy is always, ‘Don’t make a thing of it and it will settle down — least said, soonest mended.’ ”
Harry was also recently in England, paying respects to Queen Elizabeth’s grave on the first anniversary of her death (she died Sept. 8, 2022), but according to Us Weekly, Harry didn’t visit his father or brother while he was in town.
It remains to be seen how this latest instance will further strain the already tense relationship between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royal family.
