Recently, it has been a difficult time for the British royal family, with King Charles and Princess Kate taking a break from their official duties due to cancer treatment. However, there may be good news in the coming weeks.
According to British media on April 13, Prince Harry will return to the United Kingdom to participate in an event held at St. Paul's Cathedral to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invincible movement. This will be his first return home since visiting his father in February.
Harry had only returned home after his father had been declared ill with cancer, and due to the rush of his trip, the king was reportedly only able to take time out to meet Harry briefly before heading to Sandringham to rest. Grant Harold, a royal expert, said Harry's reunion with his brother Prince William was "possible" given the health challenges the royal family is currently facing.
Harold, who served as a royal steward, also noted that King Charles could be a "reconciler" between the two brothers. He explained to Sky News Australia: "There's a good chance that Harry and William will meet next month, anything is possible. The king wanted the two brothers to reconcile, so he might become a mediator. ”
Harold noted that family was of paramount importance to King Charles, a value he inherited from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth. "Family means everything to the king, and just like his mother, one of his first priorities will be to make sure that this family dispute is resolved. ”
In his best-selling memoir, published in 2023, Harry describes a meeting with William and Charles after Prince Philip's funeral in 2021. At that time, Meghan revealed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that she had severe psychological distress and even suffered suicidal thoughts during her time in the royal family, while Harry said that his brother and father were "trapped" within the royal family.
Harry described the tense atmosphere at the meeting after the funeral with William and Charles, who pleaded with his sons to reconcile, saying: "Boys, please don't let my last years be miserable. ”
The possible reunion between Harry and William is not only significant for the family, but also for the public image of the royal family. Tensions between the two brothers have been the focus of media and royal watchers, who fear it will have an impact on the future of the royal family.
As preparations for the Invincible Movement service unfold, all eyes will be on the royal family, hoping for any sign of reconciliation between the two once-close brothers. If King Charles does become a mediator, the meeting could mark a turning point in the relationship between the two.
