Buckingham Palace confirms Duke of Sussex’s reunion with King Charles will not be disclosed
Mystery surrounds Prince Harry’s anticipated reunion with King Charles, nearly 20 months after the two last met.
Talk of reconciliation has grown since senior aides from the Sussexes sat down with Tobyn Andraea, the King’s communications secretary, earlier this year. Reports suggest Harry even shared details of his diary with Buckingham and Kensington Palace, fuelling hopes the family might finally move beyond their long-standing rift.
While Harry is confirmed to attend the WellChild Awards on Monday, where the press will cover his appearance, any visit to the Palace will remain private. The move reflects Buckingham Palace’s broader stance on keeping family visits discreet, especially as the royals prepare for the funeral of the Duchess of Kent, who passed away on Friday at the age of 92. The Duchess, a senior royal and King Charles’s aunt, lived at Kensington Palace with her husband, the Duke of Kent.
Although Harry is not on speaking terms with his brother, Prince William, he has shown willingness to appear at family events in the past. Last year he attended the funeral of Lord Robert Fellowes at their mother Diana’s Althorp estate, where he paid his respects but did not interact with William.
Whether Harry will quietly make a similar gesture during this visit remains uncertain. Palace officials are clear that no details of any private meeting will be released unless information emerges from insiders.
