Prince Harry is expected on Monday at a charity gala in London, a trip that could be an opportunity to see his father King Carlos III and start reconciliation after years of tensions.
The two men have not been seen since February 2024, when Harry had climbed an plane after learning that the 76 -year -old king suffered from cancer, for which he is still treated.
His meeting at Clarence House in London had lasted less than 45 minutes and Harry had gone to California after one night at the hotel.
Since then he has returned to London three times, without knowing the royal family, with whom he broke in 2020, accumulating resentment.
“I would really like to reconcile with my family,” he told the BBC in May. “I don’t know how much time my father is,” added William’s younger brother, the crown heir.
On July 9, a meeting in London between King’s communications officer, Tobyn Andreae, and Prince’s new communications manager Meredith Maines, revived speculation. Sunday’s email published a photo that shows them together on a terrace.
According to El Mirjo tabloid, the king and his son must be on the occasion of Harry’s trip “for a conversation in the head.”
Buckingham palace remained silent.
“Reconciliation is possible,” said the real historian and commentator Ed Owens. “It is in the interest of the king as a public figure,” he told AFP. “Because of his reputation, after his death, to reconcile with his son, he will be seen as very positive.”
“This very divided family has for too long with their stories of the tabloids, their gossip and scandals diverted the attention of the heart of his reign,” he said.
Harry, 40, will attend the gala on Monday in the Well Child charitable organization in London, of which he is the godfather, will give a price to a disabled girl and give a speech.
He has several other commitments in the United Kingdom during the week, according to his spokesman.
The King spends this weekend in Scotland, where he attended the traditional Highland games on Saturday near Balmoral Castle.
“A communication channel”
“The big question, if they meet, where is it?” Joe Little, editor -in -chief of Majesty Magazine.
Julio’s meeting “shows that there is a communication channel,” he told AFP.
He believes that the king wishes to reconcile the contradictions of a prince who openly criticizes the royal family and, like publicly, demands an approach.
Since he has renounced his real obligations and moved to California in 2020 with his wife Meghan, Harry gave an explosive interview to the US queen of the Oprah Winfrey interview program in March 2021, hinting that some members of the royal family were racist.
After a documentary about Netflix in December 2022, he published his memories, The substituteIn early 2023, criticizing his brother William, his sister -in -law Kate or Camilla, his mother -in -law.
And he began, and lost, a long legal fight in the United Kingdom to obtain police protection, such as when he was an active member of the royal family.
“My father doesn’t speak to me because of this security issue,” he said in May.
Meghan, widely criticized in the United Kingdom, has not returned to him since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. Her children Archie and Lilibet were seen there for the last time for the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth II in June 2022.
For Richard Fitzwilliams, a real commentator, a “private” meeting far from the media could only be the beginning of a long process covered with difficulties. Especially because according to him, William absolutely does not seem ready.
