Prince Harry made an unexpected appearance in London on Monday morning as he arrived at the High Court for a trial hearing.

But will he use the opportunity to reunite with his father King Charles ahead of the coronation in May?
Harry is unlikely to see his brother, Prince William, nor Princess Kate during his time back in Britain. HELLO! understands that the Prince and Princess of Wales are currently away for the Easter holidays with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

He has previously claimed that it is too dangerous for him and his family to return to the UK. For that reason, it's still not yet known whether the Sussexes will attend the King's coronation on 6 May.
