Palace and Prince Harry’s team offer conflicting accounts over his Canada trip

Tensions between Prince Harry and Buckingham Palace resurfaced this week after conflicting accounts emerged regarding the Duke of Sussex’s recent visit to Canada for Remembrance events.

Prince Harry began his engagements in Toronto earlier this month, marking Remembrance Day alongside veterans and military families.

However, palace aides say they were blindsided by the announcement of his visit despite Harry’s team insisting they had notified royal staff ahead of time.

The details of the trip were revealed on November 3, coinciding with Prince William’s arrival in Brazil for his Earthshot Prize week.

According to sources close to Harry, details of the visit were shared with the palace in advance, as part of an ongoing effort to maintain transparency and avoid scheduling conflicts.

Palace insiders refuted this, saying the timing and announcement still came as a surprise.

The dispute comes months after Harry reportedly offered to share future plans with the royal household, a gesture seen as an attempt to ease long-standing tensions within the family.

Harry’s public appearance in Canada also follows recent scrutiny surrounding his and Meghan Markle’s attendance at Kris Jenner’s high-profile 70th birthday party, adding another layer to an already complicated matter between the Sussexes and the palace.
