Overview

• Prince Harry is scheduled to travel to the United Kingdom in September to carry out patronage duties for the charity WellChild.
• Reports suggest he could cross paths with his father, King Charles III, and possibly meet his brother, Prince William, though no meetings have been confirmed.
• The last in-person encounter between the duke and the monarch took place in February 2024, shortly after Charles publicly announced his cancer diagnosis.
• Senior aides for Harry and Charles held secret and formal talks earlier this year in London, but core tensions—particularly over Harry’s loss of government-funded UK security—remain unsettled.
• Harry’s failed Court of Appeal bid to restore his UK security protections and his public accusations of royal influence continue to fuel mistrust stemming from his 2020 departure from senior royal roles.
