And she alleges he didn't think to check brother William's diary before boarding the plane back home with wife Meghan and children Lilibet, one, and Archie, three.

It's understood that William and Harry did not meet privately during the four-day bonanza.

The Sussexes did meet with the Queen - although their request for a photograph of the monarch with her namesake, baby Lilibet, was turned down, it's understood.

They are also believed to have met with Charles and Camilla behind closed doors.

Ms Levin told Sun Online: "I think he would have been very, very upset that he was largely ignored.

"He still feels he's owed an apology.

"But he's the one who should apologise. He said during the Oprah interview that Charles and William were trapped, he said he'd been cut off by his father.

"You can't just go around being rude about people and expecting them to open their hearts to you again."

The couple held a first birthday party for Lilibet at Frogmore Cottage on Saturday, inviting Zara and Mike Tindall's children for party games and picnic food.

Ms Levin said: "Allegedly, they asked Kate and William and the children to the party.

"However, they didn't take the trouble of finding out the Cambridges would be in Wales on the morning, and coming back to get ready for the Jubilee concert in the afternoon, so they couldn't go."

The Sussexes attended just one Jubilee event publicly - the service of thanksgiving at St Paul's.

They were sat in the second row and across the aisle from Kate and William during the event.

The couples did not acknowledge each other or exchange any eye contact.

RIGHT ROYAL ROW

Ahead of the service, Harry could be seen laughing at jokes and chatting with family and friends as he sat beside his wife.

But Ms Levin said: "The thing that really stood out for me on that day was Harry's anger - he wears his emotions on his face and he looked absolutely furious.

"I think it's quite interesting really - he could have been feeling lots of things.

"I don't know whether he had a wave of feeling at what he had given up.

"He is self-destructive and might regret what he has lost.

He still feels like he's owed an apology, but he's the one who should apologise

"Or maybe he was recalling bad memories and was just wishing he hadn't come at all."

She said Harry should have visited the UK at a "quieter time" to make peace with his brother.

"You can't expect to be close if you just have a few minutes," she said.

And the writer claimed Netflix is displeased with the Sussexes after Her Majesty turned down the chance to be snapped with her great-granddaughter.

"That image would have been very valuable," she said.

"Netflix wanted them to get photos with senior royals, and bosses aren't very pleased with them.

"That's why they wanted to go to the service at St Paul's, so they could be seen in public for their Netflix series, but they would have been astonished at their seats."
