Prince Harry and King Charles are both scheduled to be in London today, potentially leading to a long-awaited reunion. Charles is anticipated to return to the capital from Balmoral, coinciding with his estranged son’s charity visits across the UK.
The father and son have not met for nearly 20 months since Harry rushed to the UK upon learning of his father’s cancer diagnosis in February 2024. Both parties are reportedly keen on arranging a meeting, with a source close to Harry expressing his desire for reconciliation.
Today, Harry is expected to visit Imperial College London, specifically the Centre for Blast Injury Studies, an establishment he inaugurated 12 years ago. However, Buckingham Palace and Harry’s office have refrained from confirming any scheduled meeting between the two.
In previous statements, Harry expressed his hopes for reconciliation with his family, acknowledging that certain members may never forgive him due to his controversial memoir, “Spare.” During his UK engagements, Harry disclosed a personal donation of £1.1 million to BBC Children in Need, emphasizing his ongoing commitment to supporting young individuals affected by violence.
Despite relocating to California and stepping back from his royal duties, Harry pledged to maintain his connections with Nottingham, stating his deep respect and admiration for the city. He highlighted his longstanding efforts in collaborating with communities to combat issues like knife crime, emphasizing Nottingham’s role in shaping his perspectives.
Harry’s financial resources stem from various avenues, including his high-profile deals with Netflix and his role as chief impact officer at Better Up. Additionally, he inherited substantial sums from his late mother, Princess Diana, as well as from the Queen Mother and his grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and the late Prince Philip.
While Harry engaged with the Nottingham community, his brother Prince William was involved in activities in Lambeth, south London. William visited The Oasis Village in Tulse Hill, where he discussed the importance of music and youth initiatives supported by his Homewards Fund.
The anticipated meeting between the feuding brothers during Harry’s UK visit seems unlikely. Both commemorated the late Queen’s death separately, with Harry laying flowers at her grave in Windsor while William and Kate honored her memory at a WI branch in Sunningdale.
