Overview

• Prince Harry is scheduled to attend the WellChild Awards in London on September 8 on a solo trip, his first U.K. visit in almost six months.
• Despite reopened backchannel contacts between their teams in July, no face‑to‑face meeting with King Charles has been agreed.
• Sources describe planning “gridlock” over basics including schedule, location and agenda, with the King favoring Windsor or Clarence House and Harry’s camp preferring a neutral venue.
• Reports cite disputed preconditions from Harry — security funding, palace‑run media management and HRH protocol for Meghan — none of which have been officially confirmed.
• Prince William has ruled himself out and is reported to view a reunion as a “terrible plan,” and Harry is not expected to bring his children to the U.K. due to security concerns.
