Prince Harry returns to California and skips Queen’s birthday

Prince Harry is back in sunny California after crossing the pond to attend the funeral of his grandfather, Prince Phillip, on Saturday.

The 36-year-old flew to Los Angeles on an American Airlines flight that arrived Tuesday afternoon and was driven to his home in Montecito, California, according to The Daily Mail.

Harry’s American return means he won’t be there to celebrate the 95th birthday of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Wednesday, as he had considered.

According to the article, the ‘conflicting’ prince considered it more important to return home to his pregnant wife Meghan Markle and toddler.

Harry will now undergo a 10-day quarantine recommended by the CDC for international travelers, the Mail reports.

The trip to England marked Harry’s first return to his native land in over a year, and he received an icy reception and was ignored by senior royals, including his father and future king, Prince Charles.

The royal fallout came after the monarch told Oprah that he feels trapped by a family he accused of being prejudiced against his biracial wife and son Archie.
