The conversation with the king of Wakanda had basically achieved its purpose.
There was another reason Harry wasn't afraid of T'Chaka: decades ago, the king had killed his own brother, N'Jobu, for helping an outsider steal Vibranium.
There was nothing inherently wrong with that. After all, T'Chaka was the king. From his perspective, and Wakanda's perspective, N'Jobu had ultimately colluded with an outsider to steal national property.

Their view of him would naturally affect how they viewed his son, as well as his nephew Erik.
Why was that important? It was reflected in the succession of the Black Panther's throne—as a member of the royal bloodline, Erik had inheritance rights. In theory, for T'Challa to inherit the position of Black Panther, he had to get past Erik first.
Yet T'Chaka had neither killed Erik nor taken him away. Instead, he had left him in the United States to grow up as an orphan.
