Prince Harry is not expected to meet up with his father King Charles during his surprise trip to the UK as the monarch is reportedly "busy".
Harry made a surprise appearance in London this morning and was seen arriving at the High Court to attend a hearing in his latest legal row.
It is believed to be the first time he has been back in the UK since his grandmother the late Queen's funeral in September.
His surprise return also comes nearly three months after he laid bare his troubled relationship with his father and brother Prince William in his controversial autobiography Spare.
The hearing today was due to coincide with Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to France, which was due to start yesterday but was shelved due to unrest in the country.
But according to the Telegraph, Harry is not expected to meet up with his father while in the UK - even though the King was informed of his visit - as he is "busy".
Buckingham Palace said the King was not in Windsor or London and would be leaving for a state visit to Germany on Wednesday morning.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are not currently in Windsor either because of the youngsters' school Easter holidays.
Harry and Meghan have been asked to vacate their UK home Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate, in a move sanctioned by the King, meaning Harry could spend some of his time packing up any remaining possessions.
The duke is also taking legal action against the Home Office over security arrangements when he is in the UK, raising questions about his own security provisions during this visit.
After the postponement of his trip to France, Charles, along with Camilla, will begin the three-day state visit to Germany on Wednesday - it is the first state visit of his reign.
Meanwhile, in just six weeks' time, Charles and Camilla's Coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey - and Harry and wife Meghan Markle's attendance still has a question mark hanging over it.
Earlier this month a spokesman for the Sussexes said: "I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty's office regarding the coronation.
"An immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time."
Back in January while promoting his controversial memoir Spare, Harry was asked about his potential attendance at the Coronation.
He sat down for a TV interview with ITV News presenter Tom Bradby, who asked if he would attend the historic occasion if he were to be invited.
He cryptically said at the time: "There's a lot that can happen between now and then. But, you know, the door is always open. The ball is in their court.

"There's a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they can - that they are willing to sit down and talk about it because there's a lot that's happened in six years. And prior to that as well."
Sources previously said the King and the Queen Consort were left 'furious' and 'wearied' by the claims Harry made in his bombshell book Spare.
They included Charles not hugging Harry after the death of his mother Princess Diana and his stepmother Camilla sacrificed him in exchange for good PR.
