Prince Harry is expected to travel to Britain next week with Meghan Markle, in a visit that is attracting intense interest both for his public appearances and for the possibility of contacts with the royal family.
According to British reports, the Duke of Sussex wants to return to the country where he grew up, while his goal is to promote the Invictus Games, but also to spend time with his loved ones.
The royal family in different "camps"
As royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams reports in the Daily Mail, the royal family appears divided over the return of Harry and Meghan.
On one side is King Charles, who is said to be positive about the visit and wants to gradually restore family ties. In fact, according to the same publication, he has offered to host the family in a royal residence, while ensuring the necessary security measures.
A positive climate is also estimated to exist on the part of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, with whom Harry maintains a close relationship, although possible meetings are expected to take place away from the spotlight.
Who is keeping their distance
It seems that the attitude of Prince William and Kate is different, who, according to the royal commentator, still maintain their reservations towards Harry and Meghan, after what has happened in recent years.
Queen Camilla is said to be taking a similar stance, having not forgotten Harry's public statements against her, while no meeting with Peter Phillips and his wife is expected.
At the same time, Princess Anne, Zara Tindall, Prince Edward and Sophie of Edinburgh are expected to maintain a neutral stance.
The court case is also in focus
Harry's visit coincides with a particularly important development, as the decision is expected to be announced in the court case he has initiated with other well-known figures against Associated Newspapers, regarding allegations of illegal collection of personal information and publications concerning their private lives.
Despite the intense interest surrounding the visit, it remains unknown whether Harry, Meghan and their children will ultimately have a family meeting with King Charles, as there has been no official confirmation of their schedule of contacts so far.
