Prince Harry was reunited with his late mother's family.
The Duke of Sussex attended a service at St. Paul's Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, a groundbreaking sports competition for ex-service people that Harry founded back in 2014. Harry did not have the support from the Royal Family at Wednesday's as they did not show up. Instead, King Charles III was joined by a large group of royals in a show of unity at the Buckingham Palace garden party.
Rather than be joined by the Royal Family to show their support, the late Princess Diana's siblings made sure to attend.

Princess Diana's siblings went to support Harry on Wednesday (Jonathan Buckmaster)Harry's late mother's brother, Earl Charles Spencer, and sister, Lady Jane Fellowes, attended the Service on Wednesday. His cousin, Louis Spencer, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's wife, Akshata Murty, and his lawyer David Sherbourne also attended. The Duke's "second dad," former Army officer, Mark Dyer, was at the service as well.
Harry was alone as he walked up the steps to the entrance. The garden party was only two kilometres from St. Paul' and it's said Harry had hoped to see his father during his stay in the UK, but a spokesperson for Harry revealed earlier in the week that wouldn't happen.

The duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."
Harry's brother, Prince William, will also not be meeting with the Duke of Sussex during Harry's three day visit and did not attend the Invictus Games event.
Meghan stayed in California with their children Archie and Lilibet and supported from afar. She will be reunited with Harry in Nigeria after his visit back home. The Duke and Duchess plan to engage with Service members and immerse themselves in local cultural events there. Meghan has stepped foot in the UK three times since leaving the Royal Family in 2020.
