Duke of Sussex unlikely to meet William as tensions remain high
Prince Harry is expected to see members of his family during his trip to the UK this week, where he will attend the WellChild Awards on September 8, coinciding with the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing.
Reports suggest that Harry may meet with King Charles, with royal commentator Jennie Bond noting that such a reunion is long overdue. Sources also claim the King is open to reconciliation as part of a broader effort to heal family divisions.
Harry could also spend time with his cousins, who are believed to have kept warmer ties with him and Meghan than other senior royals. However, a meeting with his brother William appears unlikely. The two remain deeply estranged following years of tension, worsened by Harry’s public criticisms in his memoir.
According to Radar Online, Harry’s team has been pressing for clarity on potential meetings, though palace insiders say schedules are “tight” as the royal family is gathered at Balmoral for their summer break. Behind the scenes, there is said to be nervousness about what Harry might expect from the trip.
“One of the most sensitive issues is whether Harry should meet William and Catherine,” a source explained. “Harry has always seen Catherine as a bridge between him and William. If he can win her over, he believes the rest might follow.”
For now, Harry’s return to London is set to be marked by uncertainty, with any potential reunion carrying both opportunity and risk for the fractured family.
