Monarch Charles expresses willingness for a less chaotic encounter with Prince Harry
Prince Harry is set to return to the UK on Monday, September 8, marking his first visit in nearly half a year. The Duke of Sussex's schedule includes a visit to the WellChild Awards ceremony in London, where he will meet with seriously ill children and their families.
The visit comes amidst speculation about a potential meeting between Harry and his father, King Charles III. Royal historian Marlene Koenig suggests that if a meeting does occur, it will likely be on King Charles's terms rather than Harry's.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward echoes this sentiment, believing that a face-to-face meeting between the two is long overdue. Seward suggests that such a meeting could benefit both parties. For King Charles, it would mean seeing his grandchildren, a situation Seward notes must be sad for him. For Prince Harry, it could potentially pave the way for reconciliation within the royal family.
Sources close to the royal family are optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation. They believe that King Charles's desire to reunite with his grandchildren could be a motivating factor.
However, it remains unclear whether a meeting between King Charles and Prince Harry will take place during the upcoming visit. If it does, Koenig believes a private meeting would be the best way forward.
Interestingly, when Prince Harry arrives, his first stop is reportedly to visit a place connected to Queen Elizabeth II. Despite being only about twelve kilometers apart, Prince Harry and Prince William have no planned reunion.
The WellChild Awards are precisely three years after Queen Elizabeth II's passing. The event is a reminder of the close bond Prince Harry shared with his grandmother. The Duke's attendance at the ceremony is a testament to his commitment to supporting children with serious illnesses, a cause close to Queen Elizabeth II's heart.
The July meeting between top aides of the Sussexes and the monarch's communication secretary in London sparked talk of a royal "peace summit." Whether this meeting will lead to a broader reconciliation remains to be seen.
As Prince Harry's visit approaches, the anticipation for any potential royal reunion is palpable. The UK eagerly awaits to see if the long-awaited meeting between King Charles and Prince Harry will take place, and what it might mean for the future of the royal family.
