King Charles’ arrival in London has set the stage for a potential reunion with his estranged son, Prince Harry, ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The monarch’s presence in the capital comes as Harry prepares to return to the UK for the first time since his father’s cancer diagnosis made headlines last February.
Harry’s visit marks his first major public appearance in Britain since then, and the focus will be on his expected meeting with Charles. It remains unclear whether Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, will accompany him on the trip, or if he will reunite with other members of the Royal Family during his stay.
According to The Mirror, Harry is expected to lodge in a hotel during his visit, having given up his Frogmore Cottage residence in Windsor when he and Meghan relocated to California in 2020. The extent of Harry’s interactions with other Royals during his trip remains uncertain, with speculation that he may not see his brother, Prince William, or sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, given their absence from London at the time of his visit and Middleton’s ongoing cancer treatment.
Royal experts have expressed skepticism about the possibility of a reconciliation between Harry and William or Middleton, with royal author Tom Bower telling MailOnline that he is “sure” Harry will not be meeting Kate Middleton. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has also weighed in, claiming that Middleton’s preventive chemotherapy treatment and the “deep” rift between the brothers make a reunion unlikely during Harry’s visit.
