However, while the couple appeared to have a great time with Harry's royal relatives, rumours soon started after Harry, 40, returned to London early, missing the annual Boxing Day pheasant shoot.

King Charles and the rest of the royal family showed a united front on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the VE Day 80th anniversary commemoration on Monday, days after Prince Harry addressed his estrangement from his family in a bombshell interview with BBC.
