After years of tensions and estrangement, the date on which the much-desired reunion between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles III, could take place has been leaked. The news has caused great anticipation, since the relationship between the two has been one of the most talked-about topics in recent years. Many hope that this meeting will mark a new chapter for the Royal Family.
A few months ago, the Duke of Sussex shared his desire to reconcile with his family, especially with his father. In an interview with the BBC, Harry expressed his hope to heal the family's wounds. This comes at a delicate time, as King Charles III is undergoing cancer treatment.
"Some members of my family won't forgive me for having written a book and they'll never forgive me for many other things. But I'd love a reconciliation with my family. It doesn't make sense to keep fighting, life is precious," Prince Harry said.
In addition, Harry expressed his concern about Charles III's health: "I don't know how much longer my father has to live." "It'd be great to have that reconciliation. If they don't want it, that's up to them," he added.
As expected, these words have further reignited public interest. It's no secret the tense relationship the Duke of Sussex keeps with the rest of the Royal Family members.
A situation that, aside from the decision Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made to step down from their royal duties, has its origin in the publication of their memoirs and their controversial interview. In it, both detailed the discomfort they experienced while living in the United Kingdom.
Now, with the aim of opening a new channel for dialogue, the Duke of Sussex would have made an important decision in this regard. As has emerged, he has chosen to invite his father, King Charles III, and his brother to a very significant event for him.
Prince Harry invites his father, King Charles, to a very significant event
According to reports, Prince Harry would have extended an official invitation to Charles III and Prince William. It's an offer to attend the 2027 Invictus Games. This event will take place in Birmingham from July 12 to 17.
It should be remembered that the closing of this event will coincide with Queen Camilla's 80th birthday. Therefore, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that it could become an additional reason for a family reunion.
However, experts on the British Royal House state that both Charles III and his eldest son remain skeptical about a reconciliation. So, everything suggests that Prince Harry's invitation could be declined.
The main reason would be the fear that the Duke of Sussex might once again reveal sensitive information about the family, just as happened in the past. For this reason, it is speculated that the monarch might not attend the event.
In the case of Prince William, the distance with his brother remains firm. According to sources close to him, the heir to the throne would have no interest in reestablishing any kind of bond with Prince Harry or his family.
This refusal would also be related to Harry's desire for his children. Meghan Markle's husband wants the little ones, who keep their noble titles, to be able to fulfill roles within the monarchy in the future.
Several people close to the future British king state that Prince William won't allow his nephews to represent the Crown. He believes they've been raised far from their royal duties.
