Former Royal Correspondent Michael Cole has claimed that King Charles "would not have wanted" Prince Harry to go with him and the Queen to Sandringham during his UK visit.

Responding to claims that Prince Harry "was not allowed" to accompany King Charles and Queen Camilla to Sandringham during his visit to see his father, Cole shut down the claim and doubted that would have been the reason he did not attend.

Cole explained: "The point of the King being at Sandringham on the estate, which is quite isolated in North Norfolk, is to be isolated because when you're having this intensive cancer treatment and what you've got to avoid at all costs is infection.

"And Prince Harry had flown at 37,000 feet in a pressurised cigar tube with 250 other people people for 11 hours breathing the same air. And he came to see his father for 35, 45 minutes at Clarence House."

Cole admitted: "I think the last thing in the world the King would have wanted was for him to have gone on to Sandringham. And anyway, he had to be back into in America because he was that at that gala evening for the National Football League in Las Vegas the next night. So I don't think there was ever a possibility of him flying to Sandringham in the confined space of a helicopter with the King."
