King Charles III has shocking reaction to fan begging for Prince Harry’s return

King Charles III laughed off a fan who begged him to have Prince Harry return to the UK.

While the monarch was greeting royal fans at the University of East London’s Stratford Campus, one attendee shrieked, “Can you bring back Harry?” as King Charles shook hands.

After seemingly mishearing what the student said — the king asked “Who?” in his initial response — Charles simply burst into laughter and continued his visit.

The surprising reaction comes as it is debated whether Prince Harry will attend his father’s coronation in May in light of all the jaw-dropping revelations he made in his debut memoir, “Spare.”

The royal family has yet to address the redheaded royal’s tome and instead has focused on getting back to work.

In January, 38-year-old Prince Harry said he wouldn’t commit to attending his father’s coronation.

“There’s a lot that can happen between now and then,” the former military pilot told Tom Bradby in his ITV interview. “But, the door is always open. The ball is in their court.

“There’s a lot to be discussed,” he continued, “and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”

Elsewhere in his interview, Harry said he still believed in the monarchy but wasn’t sure if he or his wife, Meghan Markle, would “play a part in its future.”

Page Six previously reported that Harry and Markle will be invited to the coronation, but royal historian Hugo Vickers, a friend of the royal family, predicted that the prince wouldn’t accept.

“Harry has made it clear that he has certain conditions before he will accept any invitation,” Vickers told us. “It is always possible to reconcile if both parties are willing to do so … but I don’t think the Harry side will budge.

“He’s never wrong about anything, so that’s not a very good start.”
