However, the issue of Meghan Markle's involvement remains a subject of debate. According to OK Magazine, Harry is said to be working on a plan with his father to arrange these talks, but he has made it clear that he wants Meghan to be present as well.
Last week, Harry confirmed his upcoming visit to the UK next month. He is returning to London to attend a charity event for World Child, following which he has a second trip planned after the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, scheduled between September 9th and 16th.
Meghan is expected to join Harry for the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games before reportedly heading back to the US. However, OK Magazine suggests that the peace talks may take place on September 17th in London, once the games conclude.
Harry is reportedly more than willing to meet with his father and work things out, but he wants Meghan to accompany him during his trip to Europe and does not want to exclude her. Discussions have been ongoing to bring the two together, but the timing has not been right so far. Originally, talks were intended to take place during Harry's visit for the coronation, but it was deemed too stressful for the King to meet during that time. Now, both Charles and Harry are aiming for September 17th as a date that suits their schedules, and the finer details are being worked out by their respective teams.
While King Charles is believed to be open to reconciling with Harry, those close to him express doubts about a physical meeting taking place right before an important State visit to France. The rift between the royal siblings has been widely reported since the release of Prince Harry's memoir, "Spur," which revealed a strained relationship with Prince William. The book also shed light on a secret meeting following Prince Philip's funeral, where tensions were reportedly high. However, insiders from the Royal circle have dismissed rumors of a potential reconciliation between King Charles and Prince Harry, according to sources close to them.
A royal friend revealed that Prince William remains deeply hurt by his brother's depiction of their relationship in the memoir, as well as subsequent comments made by Harry in media appearances. William views these actions as a betrayal and finds the situation very painful. It is worth noting that Charles has not seen his son since his coronation in May, and tensions have persisted since Harry and Meghan decided to step back from their royal duties in 2020. Furthermore, in interviews, the couple has been critical of the Royal Family, particularly in the Netflix documentary series and Harry's book, "Spur."
Royal expert Duncan Larkham has suggested that now might be an opportune time for a reconciliation between Harry and his father. Larkham believes that both Harry and Meghan have kept a low profile in recent months, and this could be a suitable moment for Harry to meet with his father and have a mature conversation where tensions and raw emotions from "Spur" and other incidents can be addressed.
According to OK Magazine, Prince Harry is looking forward to some family time during his trip to the UK, particularly catching up with his cousin, Princess Eugenie. Although Harry has made California his new home, he misses his friends in the UK, especially his close bond with his cousin Eugenie. He is keen for his children to develop a close relationship with Eugenie's young children. The report suggests that Harry wants to bridge the gap within the family, realizing that holding grudges serves no purpose and that it is time to move forward.
As the anticipation builds around this potential meeting between Prince Charles and Prince Harry, many are curious to see if the talks will indeed happen and what outcomes they may bring.
