Royal Rift Widens as Aides Keep Talks Open, Harry’s Expected September UK Visit Looms

Overview

  • Senior staff from Prince Harry’s team and the King’s communications director were photographed meeting in July at the Royal Over-Seas League to ease tensions and prevent diary clashes.
  • PR executive Eric Schiffer told Newsweek that reconciliation is possible if Harry shows “consistent discipline” and avoids “more ugliness” in future media appearances.
  • Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe says the relationship between Princes Harry and William is “worse than ever,” noting William’s public silence since their grandmother’s death in 2022.
  • Harry has refrained from new public broadsides in recent months, and his anticipated late-September WellChild Awards trip to London without Meghan is being framed as a potential opening to see the King.
  • King Charles’s September schedule includes President Donald Trump’s state visit to Windsor from September 17 to 19, which could limit opportunities for a meeting with Harry.
