Prince Harry's much‑anticipated return to the UK this week has been called 'a Benny Hill caper,' after what one senior royal writer described as a procession of missteps that left tempers frayed between the duke and his relatives, and delayed the arrival of Meghan Markle and their children until the end of the visit.
The duke arrived in Britain on Monday intending a family reunion and a string of engagements, but much of the week saw him travelling alone and dealing with logistical headaches, a court loss and questions over his accommodation, according to reporting of events this week.
