Prince Harry recently said in his no-holds-barred interview with the BBC that he wanted reconciliation with his family.
But for some royal observers, this is hard to believe.
It seems that whenever King Charles or Prince William make headlines for royal engagements or celebrations, the Sussexes appear with their own news.
Most recently Charles and Camilla arrived for a whirlwind visit to Ottawa, which was already billed as a message to President Trump that ‘Canada is not for sale’.
The couple arrived for a historic visit to the country’s capital – the first by Charles as its head of state – to formally open parliament.
It was the first time a sovereign had undertaken the honour for 58 years and came as Canadians voiced their outrage at the US President’s suggestion that Canada could become America’s ’51st state’.
Charles and Camilla were greeted with shouts of ‘welcome home’ as they exited their plane which had travelled from the UK.
Prior to the trip, Charles was reportedly ‘concerned’ about the growing friction between Canada and the US.

At the same time, Harry made a surprise visit to China for a tourism conference in Shanghai where he advocated for sustainable travel.
In his first ever visit to the country, Harry spoke to fulfil his role as co-founder of Travalyst, an organisation which promotes environmentally friendly forms of travel.
His older brother Prince William made a similar diplomatic trip to China ten years ago, marking the first official royal visit in 30 years.
In Harry’s BBC interview, which aired hours after he lost his battle over taxpayer-funded bodyguards earlier this month, the prince said Charles ‘won’t’ speak to him.
There has been ongoing tension between the King and his youngest son since Harry stepped down as a working member of the royal family alongside his wife, Meghan Markle.
The rift escalated after Harry and Meghan publicly spoke out about their experiences with the Royal Family in their Oprah interview and Harry’s tell-all memoir Spare.
And this wasn’t the only recent occasion where Harry and Charles have made clashing plans.
In April Harry made a dramatic London court appearance to coincide with Charles’s state visit to Italy.
