A potential meeting between Prince Harry and King Charles is becoming more likely as both are expected to be in London today. King Charles was supposed to return from Balmoral last night but is now anticipated to come back later today. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is scheduled to visit Imperial College London for an engagement at the Centre for Blast Injury Studies, leaving a possible opportunity for a long-awaited reunion.
Prince William, who is also distant from his brother, will be in Cardiff today for World Suicide Prevention Day, nearly 150 miles away, making it unlikely for him to cross paths with either Harry or Charles.
The King and his youngest son have not seen each other for nearly 20 months, with the last encounter happening after Harry rushed to the UK upon learning of his father’s cancer diagnosis in February 2024.
While both sides express a desire for a meeting, neither Buckingham Palace nor Harry’s office has confirmed any scheduled encounter between the two men.
Harry has expressed his wish to mend relationships within his family but acknowledged that some members may never forgive him, especially after the controversies surrounding his memoir, Spare.
In a recent interview, Harry shared that his strained relationship with Charles stemmed from a court battle over security and uncertainties about his father’s health. During his visit to the UK, Harry is staying at a hotel at his own expense as no royal residence accommodation has been offered to him.
Efforts to facilitate communication between the King and Harry have been initiated by senior aides from both sides, with a July meeting in London seen as the beginning of potential reconciliation.
Harry is expected to remain in the UK until tomorrow before departing. During his visit, he announced a personal donation of £1.1 million to support youth affected by violence, emphasizing the need for collective action to drive meaningful change.
The donation, which will primarily benefit the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham, comes directly from Harry’s personal funds, separate from his charitable foundation, Archewell. Additional funds will be allocated to local causes supporting young people impacted by violence.
