The schedule of the Royal Family is usually packed, with personal appearances, charity work, official visits, and state occasions filling their diaries.
From lending their presence at fundraisers to meeting world leaders, the calendar rarely shows a quiet moment.
Recently, Donald and Melania Trump departed the UK following their second state visit, while Prince Harry also made his own trip back home.
Harry’s Return and Reunion with King Charles
During his visit, Harry appeared in Nottingham, where he personally donated a large sum to charity. He also reunited with his father, King Charles III, meeting at Clarence House on September 10 for afternoon tea. Unfortunately, Prince William was unavailable.
When asked later about the reunion, Harry simply told reporters the meeting had been “great, thank you.”
Questions Around Prince William’s Empty Calendar
Royal fans quickly noticed something unusual about Prince William’s diary. While Harry was in the UK, William’s schedule was filled with engagements. But once his brother left, the calendar suddenly became empty for the next two weeks.
One person shared a screenshot of the official engagement calendar, writing: “When you search up William’s engagements for this week and the next,” showing no events scheduled.
This sparked speculation that William deliberately kept busy during Harry’s stay to avoid crossing paths with him. However, it remains unconfirmed, and the reasons behind his clear schedule have not been explained.
Fans React to the Timing
Some online comments were blunt: “But of course his full diary when Harry was in town was just a coincidence!” one wrote, while another quipped: “Harry’s gone, no need to work.”
Others echoed the sentiment: “He only did a few because Harry was in town, period.” Another joked about possible excuses: “They will be blaming kids being at school until half term when they will blame the kids being off.”
One observer took a lighter view: “The optics aren’t great that William only packed his schedule while Harry was around, but, to be fair, if I had to endure that state visit, I’d need at least a month to recover!”

Comparisons With Other Royals
The Prince and Princess of Wales had spent six days alongside the President and First Lady, even welcoming them as they arrived by helicopter. At one point, Donald Trump made a pointed remark about Harry.
Comparisons were also drawn with Princess Anne, who remains one of the busiest royals. “The Princess Royal is doing multiple engagements a day. What a machine! Pity she wasn’t the eldest child,” one admirer commented.
Others defended William, pointing out that the public doesn’t always know the full story. “For all the public knows he could have health problems. Remember what a flap it was when Kate had hers? Not telling is easier to deal with…”
For now, William’s calendar remains clear, and fans will have to wait to see whether any new engagements are added in the coming weeks.
