King Charles is said to be facing a “dilemma” as his estranged son, Prince Harry, is reportedly coming back to the UK with his family for the first time in four years. The Sussexes will be making a grand return to the Duke’s home country and they are said to be bringing their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. According to The Sun, there is “an agreement” that the monarch will meet Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom he has not seen in person since they last visited the UK in June 2022 for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. It is not yet known if Meghan will join Harry, Archie and Lilibet in meeting the King.
But Hello!’s Royal Editor, Emily Nash, believes the whole thing leaves the monarch in a very “difficult” situation. She said: “Sources tell me that the schedule will be busy and that any reunion with his father would depend on their already packed diaries matching up. If Charles doesn’t see his son – and the grandchildren he has not seen in person for four years – what message does that send? And if he does, what does that mean for his relationship with his heir, Prince William? The royal brothers remain on non-speaking terms in the wake of claims made by Harry in numerous interviews, as well as in his memoir Spare. For Charles, either decision will carry a cost and, inevitably, bring a host of headlines.”
