Harry’s wife Meghan and their two children will not accompany him on the trip
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may see this meeting as an opportunity to present themselves in a positive light to mend strained relationship with King Charles, following his cancer diagnosis, reported Mirror.
Following the public announcement of the monarch’s diagnosis in February, his younger son Harry promptly flew from the US to the UK for a brief 30-minute visit with Charles at Clarence House.
Now, the Duke is preparing to travel to London once again in a few days to attend an event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, and the King will clear his schedule to meet with him.
Harry’s wife Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will not accompany him on the trip. However, commentators believe that the Duke’s reunion with his father will serve as a welcomed olive branch after years of tension and criticism directed towards the Firm.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said it is “normal” for Harry to try and make amends with his family – and the fact that they have recently appointed new public relations experts is “significant”.
According to Mr Fitzwilliams, Harry and Meghan have realised that their brand is “very important” and have changed the way they deal with PR. However, he said the pair now have to make amends with the royals and rebuild trust.
“The commentator said a key compromise the couple needed to agree on was a “meeting of minds” and the fact things need to be kept private and quiet due to serious illness within the family.
Mr Fitzwilliams told the Daily Mail: “There have been no attacks on the royal family recently, nor will there be for rather obvious reasons. The difficulty they now have is that they have to be trusted if they are going to build, or rebuild bridges, because I don’t think members of the royal family will trust the Sussexes.
“The King has made clear his door is always open and obviously Harry is going to see quite a lot of him over the weeks and months ahead. When there is serious illness you have a situation where privately, quietly, which isn’t the way the Sussexes do things normally, you have to have a meeting of minds.”
