Overview

• Prince Harry is scheduled to attend the WellChild Awards in London on September 8, and no palace has confirmed a meeting with the King.
• Friends of Prince William say he views any audience for Harry as a "terrible, terrible idea," and he is not expected to see his brother.
• If a meeting happens, it would be their first face‑to‑face since February 2024, with reports indicating Meghan and the children will remain in California.
• Recent reporting cites July diary discussions between the King's and Sussexes’ teams, including CCO Meredith Maines’ London visit, as reopening a narrow communications channel.
• Coverage highlights unresolved security and trust issues, noting Harry lost his High Court appeal over taxpayer‑funded police protection in April and that any encounter might be arranged around the King's time in Scotland for the Queen’s death anniversary.
