Prince Harry is back in the UK this week, and his visit is giving rise to rumors of his reconciliation with the royal family. The prince landed at Heathrow on September 8 and headed to Windsor Castle. After paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, Harry reportedly laid a wreath at his grandmother’s resting place at St. George’s Chapel. But the trip naturally raises the question of whether he will meet his father, King Charles.
Prince Harry is ‘looking forward to seeing everyone from his charities,’ during UK visit, source claims
Being back in the UK, Prince Harry’s visit to the country is fueling rumors and expectations of his reconciliation with the royal family. According to PEOPLE, those close to the Duke described him as calm and positive. A source told the tabloid, “He’s in a really good headspace and looking forward to seeing everyone from his charities and the causes he cares about.” Still, the question of a possible reunion with his father, King Charles, is under speculation.
The two last met in February after the King revealed his cancer diagnosis, but their relationship has remained delicate ever since. Come July, aides for Harry and one of the King’s senior staff members sat down for the first time, which, an insider at the time said, was a “good first step.” In the country, Prince Harry is expected to attend the WellChild Awards, which the Duke rarely misses, even after stepping back from royal duties.
Even so, the concerns of his security battle linger. Earlier this year, he lost an appeal against the removal of taxpayer‑funded protection, calling the decision disappointing. Speaking to BBC News after the ruling, he admitted he “would love reconciliation with my family,” adding, “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
Whether Prince Harry’s visit to the UK could open the door to reconciliation with the royal family is uncertain. But on this trip, Harry seems intent on keeping his calm by honoring his grandmother, supporting his charities, and keeping any potential family meetings private.
