Prince Harry may be returning to the UK next month, but that doesn’t mean a reconciliation is in the works.
“The king is happy to spend time with his youngest son but will remain guarded to protect the people that he loves and who have shown him unconditional loyalty,” Kinsey Schofield, host of the “To Di For Daily” podcast, recently told Fox News Digital.
“Harry will always have access to his father, but the trust is long gone.”
Prince Harry, 39, will be in town to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games. He last spoke to his father in person when he flew across the pond for 24 hours after the monarch revealed his cancer diagnosis. Their exchange only lasted a reported 45 minutes.
King Charles III, 75, will be in London for engagements at the same time. However, the Telegraph reported that he is “quite busy” and may not have time for a reunion.
“Prince Harry is suffering the consequences of his actions,” Schofield told Fox News Digital. “Harry does not take responsibility for the tsunami of hurt he has caused his family. The king sees this very clearly.”
“Harry is still under the impression that he has not done anything wrong by purging family secrets for paychecks,” she continued. “That delusion concerns everyone that used to be close to Harry.”
Harry has been estranged from the Firm since he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as senior working royals in 2020. They now live in Montecito, California, with their two children — Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2. In January 2023, he released his memoir “Spare,” which slammed several members of the royal family.
“King Charles is not pushy and will not demand any type of reconciliation,” Schofield went on.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, meanwhile, believes their paths will, in fact, cross at some point.
“It is likely, given that he is courageously battling cancer, that Harry will see the king,” he told Fox News Digital. “The king’s door is always open to his son, though that does not mean they have a meeting of minds.”
Any run-in with Prince William and Kate Middleton, however, is reportedly out of the question.
“Catherine is undergoing preventative chemotherapy, and this is an extremely stressful time for her and for William and their family,” Fitzwilliams said. “Whatever private contact there has been is one thing. That is the only way eventually to bridge the rift. I would not expect them to meet.”
Middleton, 41, revealed her own cancer diagnosis in March.
If Harry does see his father, the reunion will most likely be as short as the one in February. But Charles will reportedly not take it as an opportunity to help Harry and William mend their relationship.
“Harry’s trip does serve an important purpose because it allows him to once again visit his father without sounding alarm bells about the king’s condition,” royal author Christopher Andersen told the outlet. “King Charles does not see it as his job to bring his sons back together and, given all that is on William’s plate at the moment — having to be there for his cancer-stricken father and his cancer-stricken wife — the king isn’t going to put any more pressure on his eldest son.”
“Harry is focused on his father’s health. That’s the purpose of this trip — to check in on Papa and see for himself how he is doing — as much as it is to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. I wouldn’t count on Harry getting to spend much time with the king, but let’s hope that palace schedulers give him more than 45 minutes this time,” he continued. “The king’s cancer battle may have the effect of repairing his relationship with Harry, but there is no evidence that it has had any healing effect on the brothers. There is still great, simmering anger there.”
