Royal expert says possible wedding invite could create a moment for reconciliation
King Charles could be open to seeing his estranged son Harry if a family reunion takes place at an upcoming royal wedding, according to a royal commentator.
Speaking to The Cheat Sheet, former royal butler and expert Grant Harrold said the monarch would likely welcome the chance to see the Duke of Sussex if he attends the wedding of his cousin Peter Phillips, which is expected to take place in June.
Harrold believes Harry and Meghan Markle could receive an invitation to the event, noting that weddings often provide an opportunity for families to reconnect.
“I think it’s very likely that Peter will invite Harry and Meghan to the wedding,” Harrold explained. “Weddings are a chance to bring the family together. The cousins were very close growing up and shared the unique experience of life within the royal family.”
However, he suggested that any reunion could come with some awkward moments.
Harrold said there may still be tension among family members, adding that William and Catherine may not be entirely comfortable with the situation. Even so, he noted that the event would centre on celebration rather than family disagreements.
“It could offer a chance for a first reunion, especially during a happy occasion where the focus isn’t on them,” he said.
Despite the complicated family dynamics, the expert believes the King would be pleased to see his son. Harrold also hinted that efforts to repair the relationship are already taking place privately.
“We know there is work going on behind the scenes to try and mend that relationship,” he added.
