King Charles refuses to say if he's watched Harry & Meghan Netflix show during royal trip

King Charles has been seen at a reception in central London as the Royal Family appears to be carrying on with business as usual, despite Harry and Meghan's controversial documentary hitting TV screens around the world.

His majesty has been seen arriving at the event for Christian communities in King’s Cross this morning.

The Express' royal correspondent, Richard Palmer, who was in attendance, said: "The King was asked if he’d seen Harry and Meghan’s Netflix programmes and, predictably, sidestepped the question."

On Tuesday, the monarch appeared to be putting on a brave face during royal engagements in Luton, as news of a trailer being released for the Netflix series was announced.

He was in Luton in Befordshire for a series of visits, which has seen him stop by Luton Town Hall and the newly-built Guru Nanak Gurdwara.

Charles appeared in good spirits as he arrived and met community leaders and voluntary organisations.

He was greeted by the Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire, Susan Lousada, and the mayor of Luton, Councillor Sameera Saleem, on arrival at the town hall before meeting local groups and members of the public.

During the visit, an egg was hurled at him for the second time inside a month as police swooped to arrest a man in his 20s on suspicion of common assault.

The monarch had to be steered away by his security midway through a walkabout after the alleged incident.

The King was later shown the control room of the new cable-drawn Dart mass passenger transit system, which links the train station to Luton Airport, before enjoying a ride.

Earlier, the Mirror reported that Charles could be set to "cut all ties" with Prince Harry and Meghan as their six-part documentaries airs today on Netflix.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam said the new King may even ban his son and daughter-in-law from his Coronation in May next year.

Mr Fitzwilliam, speaking to the Sun, said the Royal Family will just carry on regardless with "business as usual" as they always do.

He said: "There is absolutely no doubt now that the Sussexes are claiming there was a war against them.

"We've got clear dynamite in there - it would be impossible to take that out of context.

"We haven't seen it, but it's so obvious. Christmas is bookended by what's probably attacks - it's grim.

"The question is, what can the royals do about it? Harry will always remain a prince.

"The only thing they can do is not invite them to the Coronation, and cut all ties - a clean cut from the Sussexes. Essentially, that's all they can do."
