Prince Harry made a rare public appearance in Britain on Wednesday, attending a Thanksgiving service to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. His poor relationship with his family dominated the headlines.

Prince Harry, 39, King Charles’ youngest son, lives in California with his American wife Meghan and their two children. After criticizing them and the institution in his recent memoir, interviews, and television programs, he has grown distant from the other royals.

Although he paid a quick visit to see Charles when Buckingham Palace confirmed that the 75-year-old king had been diagnosed with cancer in February, the father and son will not meet again on his recent trip.

“It will not be possible due to his majesty’s busy schedule,” stated a representative for Harry, Duke of Sussex. “The duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

While Harry attended the Invictus Games service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, the monarch hosted the annual garden party at Buckingham Palace with other senior royals.

The king was also scheduled to appear at a military training base on Thursday.

Harry was the only royal present at St Paul’s to commemorate the worldwide sporting event he launched in 2014 for military troops injured in action.

Harry, who arrived alone, smiling and waving to a crowd outside, performed a reading while actor Damian Lewis spoke a poem to the church, which included veterans and wounded service members.

Footage from the service showed Harry meeting guests inside the cathedral, shaking hands, and briefly conversing with some of the applauding crowds outside before leaving.

After departing Britain, Prince Harry will travel to Nigeria with his wife Meghan, who did not accompany him to London.

Prince Harry hit with a setback in the US.

Meanwhile, a royal analyst says Prince Harry has suffered another setback in the United States. The prince had hoped to get a trademark in various categories for his 2006-founded charity, Sentebale.

However, royal analyst Richard Eden stated that the charity had “fallen into trademark difficulties in the USA – thwarting, for now at least, plans to expand its operations in America.”

Sentebale collaborates with young people in Lesotho and Botswana to develop long-term solutions addressing health, income, and inequality challenges.

Harry hoped to trademark several areas under his foundation, including “mental healthcare services,” “psychological and mental counselling services,” and “immunisation provision.”

The categories “Organizing conferences, seminars, courses, workshops, and other events” and “production of audio and/or video recordings” were added to the list.

Eden stated, “But the US Patent and Trademark Office, while acknowledging that it has discovered ‘no conflicting [trade] marks’, has given the application the thumbs down.”

“In a detailed ruling, it points out that many, if not quite all, the categories are inadequately defined.”

The Duke must address the flaws the US Patent and Trademark Office raised and make a second try within six months.

According to the office: “‘An application must specify, in an explicit manner, the particular goods and services on or in connection with which the applicant uses, or has a bona fide intention to use, the [trade] mark in commerce.”

Furthermore, statements submitted to the Charity Commission show that the American Friends of Sentebale Foundation’s donations to the charity have been cut in half in the last year, from £1.2 million to £610,000.
