Prince Harry’s visit to King Charles III opens the door to family reconciliation
A halo of hope hangs over the British royal family. Prince Harry’s recent visit to the United Kingdom to meet his ailing father, King Charles III, following his cancer diagnosis, has opened the possibility of a return of the Duke of Sussex to the monarchy. This was revealed by a source to Page Six, highlighting Harry’s openness to a hypothetical request for help from his parent.
“I find it hard to believe that if his father asked him for help Harry would say no, I think he would try,” the source said. Although the prince, fifth in line to the throne, has been distant from the monarchy for four years, his brief but significant meeting with his father at his London residence, Clarence House, during a 24-hour trip, could signal a change in family dynamics.
However, Harry’s willingness to reintegrate into royal life is only conditional on a direct request from the king. “I don’t think it’s something Harry would ask to do on his behalf,” the insider stated. Despite this, in what was his first interview after the news of his father and his visit, Harry reaffirmed his love for his family, above all.
During a talk for Good Morning America, held within the framework of the Invictus Games from Canada, the Duke of Sussex revealed that it was the monarch himself who informed him about his state of health. “I talked to him,” he said briefly. He did not want to go into detail about his “perspective” on the health of the king, who has been receiving unspecified treatments, but he did mention that the experience had brought him closer to him.
“Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to take a plane and go see him and spend some time with him, I’m grateful for that,” he acknowledged.
Harry, who, along with his wife Meghan Markle, distanced himself from the royal family in 2020, acknowledged that his father’s illness could open the door to a reconciliation with the royals. “Yes, I’m sure. In all these families [de Invictus, los juegos que fundó] I see it every day, you know, the strength of a family unit coming together. I believe that any illness, any ailment, brings families together,” he mentioned.
Although Harry and Meghan have built their life in California, Lady Di’s son did not rule out the possibility of returning to the United Kingdom to visit his family, including his brother, Prince Williams, whom he did not see on his recent visit. as reported by Page Six. “I have other trips planned that would take me around the UK or back to the UK, so I’ll stop and see my family as much as I can,” he said.
Since last Christmas, multiple sources told the media that the couple had been working on a “reconciliation” plan with the royal family, despite the obstacles arising from recent revelations in a book about alleged racist attitudes of some members of the royal family. royalty.
This Thursday, it was learned that Harry and Meghan made a decision regarding their public projection that a part of the British population is questioning: changing the surnames of their two children on their official website, where there is no longer a trace of the Mountbatten-Windsor which traditionally accompanied the name of the descendants of Elizabeth II and Philip of Edinburgh.
This change is totally common in the British royal family and occurs due to the fact that Harry’s father has become king. The same has happened with the children of Williams and Kate Middleton, who recently underwent abdominal surgery and will be resting for months.
