Since Prince Harry stepped down from his royal duties in 2020, the royal tension has increased between him and King Charles III. The public disputes and private pain have been making reconciliation elusive, particularly due to Prince Harry’s recent trips to the United Kingdom.
The Duke of Sussex prepares to return to the UK in early September for the WellChild Awards. Unlike his last brief in April, when King Charles III was abroad fulfilling his royal duties, this time the Monarch of the United Kingdom will be in the UK, opening the door for a potential meeting.
The rumors of a possible reconciliation have been around for a time, since Harry and Meghan’s communications team met with the King’s press secretary in London during July. Although trust remains fragile for Harry’s memoir, both Buckingham Palace and Harry’s team have adopted a united front of silence for what’s coming next in their relationship.
Despite the drama from the last five years, Prince Harry is still enduring ties to the UK charities, highlighting his connection to his hometown. The Duke’s upcoming engagements may provide the best opportunity in years for King Charles III to rebuild the fractured bond with Prince Harry.
