Prince Harry’s upcoming visit to Britain has sparked speculation regarding a potential meeting with his sick father, King George. The Duke of Sussex plans to attend an event just two miles from his father’s residence during his trip this week.

Yesterday, it was reported that Harry was 'very keen' to see his father when he goes to London for a ceremony to mark ten years of the Invictus Games at St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday

However, uncertainties loom over whether Prince Harry will have the opportunity to meet with the King, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Despite Harry’s expressed eagerness to see his father during his visit to London for a ceremony commemorating ten years of the Invictus Games at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday, no formal meeting has been arranged in the King’s already packed schedule.

King George recently resumed his public duties following his cancer diagnosis in February. Palace sources have indicated that the King’s engagements are being carefully managed on a case-by-case basis and remain subject to medical advice.

This potential reunion holds significant weight, as Prince Harry has not seen his father since his last visit in February, when he made a 10,000-mile round trip from his Californian home upon learning of the King’s illness.

While Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is not expected to accompany Prince Harry on this trip, the strained relationship between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, adds further complexity. The rift between the siblings has reportedly deepened since Harry’s claims made in his memoir and various media appearances. Prince William has not communicated with his brother since the Queen’s funeral.

When Prince Harry visits Britain this week, he will attend an event just two miles from his sick father but it is unclear if the pair will meet

Despite tensions within the Royal Family, there remains a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. Prince Harry previously expressed his willingness to support his father during his illness, even offering to resume a temporary royal role. Palace sources have dismissed this suggestion, but there is optimism that the relationship between Prince Harry and his father could be repaired over time.

As Prince Harry’s visit draws nearer, all eyes are on whether this trip will facilitate a much-anticipated reunion between father and son. However, Kensington Palace has remained tight-lipped on any potential meetings, leaving the outcome of this familial saga uncertain.
