The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at Lego this morning following Prince Harry’s brief return to the UK where he celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games – but he did not see King Charles due to a conflict in his memoirs.

Harry and Meghan are in Nigeria on a whirlwind tour to promote the Games in Africa, and are expected to visit a school, meet injured soldiers and attend basketball and polo matches before attending an evening gala.

The couple will also attend a training session for the charity Nigeria: Unconquered – which partners with the Invictus Games – as well as a reception where military families will be honored.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, returned to the UK on Tuesday afternoon to attend a mass at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the Invictus event. A few miles away, Charles welcomed guests to Buckingham Palace’s first garden party of the year.

Harry’s spokesman said the king and his son did not meet during Harry’s short visit to the UK due to the king’s “full schedule”.

This statement was followed by news of an alleged “second snub” – where Prince William will be appointed Colonel-in-Chief of Harry’s old military regiment, the Army Air Corps.

Meghan, 42, skipped the British portion of the celebrations and remained in Los Angeles before reuniting with Harry at Heathrow Airport late on Thursday night.

Harry and Meghan arrive in Nigeria for the Invictus Games celebrations

The Duke of Sussex, 39, traveled from the UK, which he visited briefly alone, to mark the anniversary of the event he founded in 2014.

He arrived on Tuesday afternoon (May 7) and was met with apparent contempt by his family.

The second snub came in the form of news that Prince William will soon be appointed Colonel-in-Chief of Harry’s old military regiment, the Army Air Corps.

Harry appeared to put on a brave face at a Thanksgiving party in the UK, which he attended on Wednesday without his immediate family.

He smiled at the crowd of well-wishers who turned out to watch his first public-facing event in some time and was supported at the ceremony by several members of Spencer’s family.
