Private Jet Owner Refuses to Bring Harry Back to the US After Meg Evaded Paying the Bill

Royals from various parts of Europe and around the globe have gathered at Buckingham Palace for a lavish state dinner on the eve of King Charles' coronation.

Recent reports suggest that Prince Harry arrived in the UK for the coronation aboard a private jet yesterday morning.

The private jet was spotted landing at Farnborough, the nearest VIP airport to Windsor Castle, approximately 65 kilometers from central London.

It flew in from the Van Nuys private airport in California, with the Duke of Sussex reportedly on board.

This choice of travel mode by the Duke, instead of opting for a commercial flight, has sparked concerns regarding his stance on climate change, an issue he vocally supports.

The 20-seat private jet used by Prince Harry is owned by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the wealthiest individual in Los Angeles who also holds ownership stakes in the LA Times and the LA Lakers.

The irony of this situation is not lost considering Harry's previous engagements in Los Angeles alongside Meghan Markle.

Contrary to popular belief, the ultra-wealthy owners of private jets do not indulge in offering complimentary services.

A source close to the plane's owner disclosed that Harry was taken aback upon receiving the bill, assuming that Dr. Patrick had extended the courtesy to Meghan.

Meanwhile, in Montecito, Meghan Markle, Harry's wife, is reportedly refusing to settle the outstanding bill.

Consequently, it is anticipated that Harry will have to make his return journey to the US via a commercial flight, a prospect that may not sit well with him given his past experiences.

Neil Sean previously hinted at the couple's intention to purchase their private jet, although financial constraints seem to be a hindrance at present.

The dynamics of ownership and borrowing within the realm of private jets are complex, with wear and tear issues and the psychological attachment of owners to having their jet readily available playing crucial roles.

As Harry attends his father's coronation sans Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet, the situation remains tense.

Today coincides with Archie's fourth birthday, adding a bittersweet element to the proceedings.

While Harry may skip the gala dinner, he is expected to participate in the official service before heading back to the US.

In a separate development, Prince William and Kate Middleton were seen accompanying King Charles for an impromptu stroll down the mall on Friday morning, much to the delight of eager royal enthusiasts who had been waiting since the previous weekend.

The anticipation for today's procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey has drawn in a massive crowd, reflecting the enduring fascination with royal affairs.
