Prince Harry's mood shifted ahead of his private meeting with King Charles last week, according to a royal expert.
The Duke of Sussex met privately with his father at Highgrove House during a five-day visit to the U.K. earlier this month. Harry's trip began on Tuesday, July 7, the very same day he learned his privacy lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail had been unsuccessful.
That Friday afternoon, Harry, joined by his wife Meghan Markle, son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet, traveled to Gloucester, England, to meet with King Charles and Queen Camilla. However, according to one royal expert, Harry's mood had already noticeably changed before the reunion even got underway.

The Sunday Times' royal editor, Roya Nikkhah, observed that Harry appeared to be in a different frame of mind while attending an event at Birmingham's NEC prior to the family gathering.
Speaking on The Royal's podcast, she said, "What was interesting, I thought, was his demeanor when he was at Birmingham on Friday, when he clearly knew this meeting was going to happen."
"He was going to go from the NEC to Warwickshire. He seemed, and people who saw him there were like, he was pretty buzzing. He always is with Invictus, but he really was."
Nikkhah noted that there was "no leaking" of what transpired between the two parties during their encounter.
She added, "There was no emotional response like we have had previously from Harry when he comes out to a meeting and says, 'I don't know how much longer my father's got'."
The royal expert noted how the Duke of Sussex seemed to be in good spirits after the encounter.
She elaborated, "So he was clearly delighted that it took place, regardless of all the drama and all the fighting between him and his family and his father.
"I think there is something about Harry being able to reintroduce his children, who've not seen their grandfather for four years."
