Charles sparked a row with No 10 after describing the Rwanda deportation policy as ‘appalling’

Last night, Downing Street played down the row, insisting the PM has “great affection and admiration” for the prince.

But they admitted their relationship “has not had the same opportunity to blossom” as the one the PM has with the Queen.

The pair are set to have an awkward encounter in the Rwandan capital Kigali next week where they are both attending a major Commonwealth summit.

They will meet at a formal reception thrown for all the attending leaders.

But they could also have a private meeting away from prying eyes, The Celeb Report understands.

A Whitehall source said they expect the men will “try to have a chat”.

But one Cabinet minister slammed Prince Charles for wading into politics.

They said: “Prince Charles is an adornment to our public life, but that will cease to be charming if he attempts to behave the same way when he is king.

“That will present serious constitutional issues.”

It comes as lawyers and union activists bid today to block tomorrow’s first deportation flight to the East African country.

But even if judges back the Home Office, fewer than ten migrants will be on board.
