Insiders say ‘the time is right’ for a reunion between the royal father and son, but what does a potential olive branch mean for Prince Harry’s relationship with the King – and what about Prince William?
It’s been 20 months since Prince Harry last saw King Charles, but could a reunion between the father and son finally be on the cards when the Duke of Sussex returns to London in September? The estranged Prince is set to fly in from Montecito on 8 September to attend the WellChild awards, showing his support for a charity he has long patronised. The event coincides with the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, with sources suggesting that ‘reconciliation is within reach’ for Prince Harry and his father after years of estrangement.
There is, an unnamed insider told The Mirror, ‘determination on both sides to make this happen’. a Issuing a caution that ‘nobody is pretending the wider family issues have been solved,’ the source noted that there was a ‘feeling the time is right’ for an olive branch between King Charles and Prince Harry. They added: ‘For the first time in a long time, there’s a genuine sense that reconciliation is within reach. Prince Harry’s team and the Palace have opened a line of communication, and there is every hope that father and son will see one another when the Duke returns to London in September.’
