Prince Harry given sweet, subtle nod by King Charles as he carries out royal duties

After a short break following his monumental Coronation, King Charles has returned to work with a busy week of engagements.

It has seen him meet tourists and children in London's Covent Garden, rub shoulders with celebrities at a bash for the Prince's Trust and even accept a gift of honey from David Beckham at a British Fashion Council event.

But as well as this, he's also been carrying out his duties as head of state, holding audiences with various politicians and ambassadors.

And during a meeting with the new First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf, it appeared the King gave a subtle nod to Prince Harry.

Pictures taken at the audience show Charles shaking hands with Mr Yousaf in Buckingham Palace next to a side table with two beautifully framed photos on it.

And it appears the photo on the left proudly shows Harry, alongside Prince William, posing in their military uniforms.

Other framed photos can also be seen in the audience room, although they are harder to make out.

The King's audience with Mr Yousaf came on Wednesday afternoon around the same time Harry and wife Meghan Markle's spokesman said the couple were involved in a "near-catastrophic" car chase.

They were followed by paparazzi after attending an awards ceremony with Meghan's mother Doria Ragland in New York on Tuesday night, the spokesman said.

It is understood no members of the Royal Family had reached out to Harry and Meghan as of 10pm on Wednesday. A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman declined to comment.

The trio had been at the Ms Foundation for Women's 50th-anniversary gala event, which honoured "game-changing" grantee partners and visionary leaders committed to the organisation's mission of "advancing collective power and creating safe, just and equitable futures for women, girls, and gender-expansive people".

Meghan received the Ms Foundation's Women of Vision Award, recognising her "global advocacy to empower and advocate on behalf of women and girls".

It was Harry and Meghan's first public appearance together since the duchess's absence at the King's Coronation earlier this month.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that Charles and his wife Queen Camilla will be among the royal guests at the Chelsea Flower Show on Monday.

It is the first event to be held since the death of the late Queen, who was a regular at the event.

Charles and Camilla will be joined by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester as well as Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
