According to British media reports on April 30, King Charles may be unlikely to have a major reunion with Prince Harry next week, as sources said the king's schedule is "very busy".
The news comes as it was confirmed that Prince Harry will travel to London in the coming days to attend a ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the "Invincible Games". The thanksgiving ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, May 8, at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, where Prince Harry is expected to read a text to commemorate the inaugural Indomitable Movement in 2014.
Prince Harry's upcoming visit to London marks his first return to the city since February, after a hastily scheduled visit following the announcement of King Charles' cancer diagnosis.
During that speedy visit, Harry spent only 45 minutes with his father, but he was grateful for it and acknowledged that the illness might have fostered family unity. However, the prospect of a reunion between Harry and Charles next week appears bleak, as the king's schedule is reportedly crammed with public duties that coincide with the timing of Harry's visit.
According to sources quoted by The Telegraph, the day commemorating the Indomitable Movement overlaps with King Charles' weekly meeting with the Prime Minister, in addition to the possibility of attending the annual Buckingham Palace Garden Party, as well as other scheduled events that day and throughout the following week. In addition, King Charles is also not expected to meet his eldest son, Prince William, or Princess Kate, who is undergoing cancer treatment.
The tense relationship between the royal brothers has been in the public spotlight for years, but despite this, Harry and Meghan have publicly extended their best wishes to Princess Kate after learning of her cancer diagnosis.
Prince Harry's visit to the UK will also be his first return after suffering setbacks in a legal case involving security arrangements in the UK.
Prince Harry has expressed concern for the safety of his children after taking legal action over reduced public arrangements for himself and his family in the UK. In a previous statement to the court, he lamented the need to step down from royal duties and leave the UK in 2020, stressing the importance of the UK as his home and the legacy of his children.
"My wife and I feel compelled to step down as royal and leave the country in 2020, which is very sad for both of us, the UK is my home country and home," Harry said. ”
"The UK is also a hub for my children's heritage and a place where I want them to feel at home, just like where they currently live in the US. If their safety cannot be guaranteed, then this cannot happen. I can't put my wife in such danger on English soil, and given my life experiences, I'm not willing to put myself in unnecessary danger. ”
However, a ruling in February dismissed Harry's unfair unilateral accusations, and the court found the decision on his security arrangements to be reasonable and procedurally correct. Although Prince Harry failed in his initial attempt to appeal the ruling, he still reserved the option of seeking further relief directly from the Court of Appeals.
As Prince Harry prepares for his upcoming visit to the UK, speculation about family reconciliation amid ongoing legal and personal challenges is spreading. At the same time, the anniversary of the Indomitable Movement is a reminder of Harry's dedication to veterans and his support for disabled veterans and women.
